Things, here and there.

Its that time of year when my head swims with to-do lists. Parties to plan, holiday meals to prepare, Christmas shopping lists to be purchased, and on and on and on. I love it. To mirror the random thoughts floating in my head, I thought I'd share some randoms with you. 

We had our most recent movie night and watch Lion King. Big hit, though Cole seemed slightly disappointed that Lightning McQueen was not in the movie. It seems, despite it being called LION King, he thought it would be about cars. He still liked it, though. We all piled onto the couch and some of us may have devoured some Halloween candy. 

Another day I made cookie brittle. Oh, delicious, delicious cookie brittle. The boys are in major question-asking mode, so for 30 minutes all I heard was "why is that cookie so big?", "is it cooked yet?", "can I eat it?". Followed by a pause, and then I was told "you know Momma, I wike cookies". As if I had no idea. My answers to the questions must not have been satisfactory because the questions were repeated over and over, until the brittle was done. 

I overcooked it just a wee bit, I think. Will have to make it again, you know, just to get it right.

That same night, we put the boys to bed and celebrated with a really nice dinner 'cause someone got a new job! We're so proud of him.

The leaves outside the kitchen window are really pretty right now.

We also started to hang some pics in the house. Here I am staging, with Grady and his lollipop assisting.

A dear friend of mine visited from Boston and brought her daughter with her. What a doll. The three played so well together, until a certain someone was mean to her. He's since said next time he'd be nicer.

Ok. That's all I've got.
