1. Trying to take more pictures of me and my boys...because I'm not getting any younger or skinnier.

2. New car seat.  I am taking a certain martyrdom pride in this as I now have to load Rory in my two door Civic by crawling into the back seat, sitting in the crumb laden chair of his brother, buckling and unbuckling him everywhere we go, and thwarting the continuation of any naps occurring in transit.

3. I took this the morning of Louise's doctor appointment.  I was sure her puking was either a death sentence or she would be removed from our home due to mistreatment in the form of overfeeding and lack of exercise.  I was expecting more judgement that I actually received and the vet gave her a surprisingly clean bill of health.  So it turns out she will happily remain a fixture on our couch with only slightly less kibble and slightly more attention after the scare.

4. Ms. April strikes again.  Silas isn't even in her class anymore.  I feel bad for the other kids at preschool.  We are still debating the true story as to whether he asked for this treasure or if she just gave it to him (as he tells it).  She also came over to babysit just because he wanted her to watch a movie with him. Spoiled.  Ms. Jackie is giving him more of a real-world experience in Farm Friends.  It is probably for the best.

5. Celebrating the ample September birthdays with Daron's family at Urban Cookhouse.
