The Audacity of Autumn

I know, it's been a while.....life gets nuts when the trees start changing colors.

Love the beautiful weather lately...even the rain. These cool temperatures sure make me worry about that "Global Warming", ya know??? I really did worry about my friends in the Houston area and Beaumont during Ike, though. I hope they get power soon and not too much damage.

Mo's been sick with a cold, runny nose, cough, fever, and fussiness since last Wednesday and then I got ALL of that, too. She's been sleeping with me because my germaphob husband doesn't want to. Not a fun few days. Lots of snot.

Both kids are getting into Scouts. Not sure how well we'll be as supportive parents....can't picture Brad in that outfit. (laughing inside) But it's a great way for Luke to learn leadership skills, the importance of volunteering, BOY stuff and the kid loves those Survivor Man shows on Discovery channel about how to survive in the "Wild" (with tv crews nearby just in case). I hope he can learn this on his own, because I wouldn't be caught dead out there. Ew, bugs. Now Girls Scouts with Grace--selling cookies---I can handle that.

Cowboys are on tonight so we're having "football foods" and a family PARTY!

We've been watching our Charlie Brown holiday movies a lot lately about the Great Pumpkin, Thanksgiving and the Election. Sometimes I'd like to talk like the grown ups do on those movies for a whole day. I might try that tomorrow. I'll let you know how it goes.
