Autumn

Having three children, four pets, and two working (me part-time) parents makes for quite the chaos.  I am mostly failing at housework, laundry, therapeutic crafting, and self-care.  But my kids all seem happy and we've got an A+ in family love!

I did receive these lovely handmade place-mats from Grammy Cathy.  Don't they make our breakfast nook feel festive and fresh?  That little squash is from our CSA.  

And what would Autumn be without getting ready for the Birthdays and Halloween?  R made this at school and it just cracked me up!  It's every scary thing he could think of crammed into one picture.  My favorite is the zombie.  How about you?  

Summer's gone...

And it seems like no time at all another summer is gone!

This year we have TWO children in school.  R is in the first grade at our local public school and S is in preschool at the University.

And just as soon as we sent them off to school, V turned one.
