Happy First Day of Autumn!!

My lil Angel had a fantastic day.  We drove through heavy rain to the library.  The rain stopped just long enough for us to run in and grab our books.  We grabbed happy meals on the way home and then played til the school kids came home.
Watermelon for dinner plus way too many of Angel's favorite treats:  gummi bears with chocolate pudding and donut holes.  I forgot to break out the colored marshmallows, so maybe we'll do that today.
Thanks to everyone who called and sent cards for Angel's special day (that she doesn't have to share with Seraph like her birthday.)

Angel: hey you, buzzy-bee fly!!  Hi-yah!!! [complete with karate chop]

Finch: Hey, can I have it?
Mom: I dunno, that's Dad's.  You'll need to ask Daddy.
Finch: Oh, Daddy wants you to know that he wants me to have it.
Finch: [smiles sweetly with a "problem solved" look in her eyes]

Seraph: ssssSSSSSSsssssSSSsssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss!!!

Wordless Wednesday

Tis the Season...

Yesterday, they started doing radio ads for flu shots. Flu shots? Seriously?? We usually get them mid-November...
Tonight, Strong Bear threw up. Yuck! It wasn't his peanut allergy (phew!)....Is it bad that I am hoping I just food-poisoned him with wilted lettuce? I just don't want anyone else to get it...and I've never successfully kept Seraph out of the hospital when she has diarrhea (her Nissan, for reflux, prevents her from throwing up...)

It's gonna be a long night....
