MIA ...

Sorry - It's been brought to my attention multiple times that I've been slacking this week.

It's been a long one.

We have been SO fortunate - we were only out of power for 11 hours and we didn't lose any major trees! School was cancelled on Tuesday though, so that was a long day!

Somehow, I hurt my back. It's killing me - and it doesn't help lugging around the 21lb stinker that is REFUSING to sleep these days.

I haven't mentioned it, but Kennedy has been going thru a MAJOR separation issue when I drop her off at school. To the extent that they had to pull her off of my shirt while screaming last week. It's been hard on me her. AMAZINGLY today she went with NO tears. It was a good day!!!

The kids picked out their Halloween costumes. Kennedy is THE MOST adorable Cinderella ever. Complete with blinking glass slippers. Cameron is Boba Fett - I guess he's a cool Star Wars guy ... he loves the costume, especially the noisy blaster :)

And Austin and I are working hard on finding our costumes for the 80's skating party we're going to next month. Ahhh, the 80's. Any suggestions are welcome!

Also, any suggestions on how to get my GORGEOUS baby to GO TO SLEEP for pete sake are more than welcome.

How to comment - well, let me tell you!!! (Because I know there are MANY of you out there reading and not commenting!) Click on the bottom of the post where it says the number of comments. Then you can read the current ones and add your own...PLEASE!

I've also added a cool feature to the blog. It's a service called Twitter. On the right side of the blog I'll be able to add quick updates - you know, when the kids are being stinkers and I'm not able to finish a proper post. And, I will!

I'll be back with pics ...

Oh - and Happy Anniversary to me ... It's been 9 years today. We are so romantic, we're sitting beside one another on the couch both typing on the laptop. I type faster :)
