We love this time of year - the leaves turn colors and the world is christened by the onset of fall - like an experienced woman come home to tend her children.... warm, comfortable, safe. For Family night we emancipated the seasonal decorations and filled our home with the trappings of autumn and Halloween... And with the harvest season, comes the hustle and bustle of school activities and holiday preparations - which we love.
Friday night was 'movie' night at the children's elementary school and because we had run amuck all day, I had to take a shower and flit out the door - wet hair, snacks, blankets, 4 rowdy children and one perfectly content mother... We walked over to the campus, staked out our spot and began the 'running-wild-never-sit-down-eat-another-treat-is-there-a-movie-on?' madness. It was soulfully delightful.

And then the week begins with the usual rhythm of activities and anticipation... but this week, Kristine is off to science camp where she will do experiments, dissect things and become a mad scientist! That's my girl!
And we had a guest in our midst. Ramsey got to bring "Eddie" home from school for the weekend. Eddie is his preschool class pet and they had lots of adventures. They went to movie night together, Kristine's roller hockey game (that her team won!), a few parks and a friend's soccer game. They cuddled and shared a pillow and loved playing together! Eddie was a well mannered house guest.
