A real post-

Alright, here goes:

So, the month is nearly over, the crisp chill has fallen upon us, the leaves are falling off the trees, and the Christmas shopping has begun. (<---yes, I said Christmas before Halloween. Sorry. I used to hate people like me who skipped holidays, but I'm experimenting to see if getting Christmas done before Thanksgiving will actually allow me to enjoy the season more.) I finished with Maddax today: Not sure what to get Hannah other than a knock-off American Girl doll. I just don't trust her with a $100 doll, and she doesn't care whether it is American Girl or Alexander from Costco... Any suggestions for a 5 year old?

Maddax is FINALLY walking, well, he's nearly running now. But he finally picked it up at the first of the month-much to my relief. He is now following Hannah around everywhere and into even more things in the house. Something I thought was impossible. They have become good friends, and enjoy playing together which means they entertain each other! (Everyone told me this would happen when you have two kids, I just didn't believe them.) Anyway, wish I had a picture, but I was dumb enough to rely on my cell phone camera this month and now cannot retrieve them from the phone.

Last week we ventured to the Scarecrow Festival and went first thing in the morning and missed the crowds and lines, it was PERFECT! Hannah loved the pony and hay rides the most, but the jumpy houses and slides were pretty fun too.

OH, and last but not least, New Moon is just around the corner, just over 20 something days!!! Oooo, the excitement :)
