Is it October already?

What happened to September? The twins went back to school and now it's time to think about Halloween costumes. We had another month of busy - back to school night, lots of Silpada parties, Mommy being sick with whooping cough, a visit from Dee and the kids, and a weekend trip to Richmond. Wooph, we're tired....

John & Kathryn are thriving at school. Good marks all around. Kathryn is in her repeater mode - every word or sentence out of my mouth is repeated clearly and articulately out of hers. This goes for bad words, too (i.e. - the f-bomb). John is reading out loud his favorite book (Llama Llama Red Pajama). He likes to crawl into bed with me and tell me the story in his words.

I don't know what the twins will be for Halloween yet. Their costumes from last year still fit, I may just recycle the witch & dino one more year. Our neighborhood has seen an increase in families with kids. I expect candy distribution to be popular.

Kevin ends his eight week training program today. One word - YIPPEE!! These last eight weeks were important for his career development but not easy on any of us. I am very proud of this accomplishment, but look forward to some normalcy in October.

The leaves are changing, the crisp autumn morning air has arrived and the pumpkins are being picked. I love autumn.
