Oh yeah, and the election too
I forgot to mention that I'm over my obsessive reading of the election coverage. At this point I'm keeping my fingers crossed and hoping by this time next week my faith in the American people will be restored.
wine, candy, and costumes
A whole month has gone by without hardly a peep from me. What have I been doing? Working. Sleeping. Playing with the kids.
Jeff and I have been trying to figure out when to go to Walla Walla and pick up our wine. We are big fans of Waters Winery (ok, so we got one bottle, really liked it and now have several more in our basement) and now we are on their preview list so we can order wine before other people. We decided it would be fun to ditch the kids and take a road trip! Yeah, baby. But as usual our inability to plan more than 5 minutes in advance is getting us into trouble. We'll see if we manage to take some time this weekend to book a hotel and line up the babysitter (aka Grandma).
Halloween is fast approaching and I'm excited to go trick-or-treating with Bob (and Kiera if she's still awake when the fun starts). We went to the Greenwood trick-or-treat thang last weekend. I wanted to dress up and get a family photo taken since Janet Klinger was doing a cheap photo session. Jeff and I were pirates. Bob thought this was supremely cool. I'm still in shock that not only did Jeff consent to wearing a costume but he even wore the red striped tights out to lunch! I think it was the first time I wore a costume since college. And it was FUN!
Bob and I also had a birthday party to go to. It was one of his little preschool friends. It was awkward. I didn't know anyone, there were about 20+ kids and their moms crowded into a small room doing crafts. Bob didn't seem to want to play or talk to anyone except me. I was exhausted after 1.5 hours and never want to go to another toddler party. EVER. I hate socializing. I am not good at the mommy circuit. I have my friends, I like them and I don't want to pretend to like you.
