{Boring... in a good way}

I'm afraid my posts have been pretty sparse lately. Not a whole lot of "blog worthy" stuff seems to be going on. Which, at first, made me feel a little sad. Like that feeling when hubs comes home from work and tells you about all the interesting people he met and fabulous things he did that day, and all I can come up when he asks me about my day is that I took a shower, herded the kids through the library, and managed to fold all the laundry -- which I'm a little more proud of than I really should be. But the more I think about it, boring is good.

Not really, it is. Stick with me here.

Boring means we have no big news to announce. We're not moving, nobody's sick or hurt, the car hasn't broken down and the water heater didn't spontaneously combust. Boring is good.


So here's a little bit of the "every day" that has been going on.


I started babysitting. Holy cow, these three uber-blond monkeys are a blast. They keep me on my toes, but we have so much fun. The girls are 4 and 2, Lou is 3. I love the crazy looks I get from people when we go out.

It's fall. That means all children (and kitties) are required to play in the giant leaf piles daily. We also are crankin' out the pumpkin nuffins in mass quantities. Mmm... now I know what I'm doing after this post is done. We're also enjoying the Halloween decorations and all accompanying nasty and/or scary teeth. Good times.

Elizabeth has finally finished knitting her fuzzy pink scarf. She also made a matching hat. All together this has been a three year project and she is so proud. It looks so snugly, I totally want one. Maybe she'll get around to it by the time I'm 60.

We did have one boo-boo incident. Caroline slipped and fell in the tub during a post-shower giggle fest. She's such a trooper. Todd is the official taker carer of all emergencies, and while he was driving her to the E.R. she kept saying, "It's an EMERGENCY! It's an EMERGENCY!" over and over and over. Turns out that Bubba's a talker when she gets nervous, she didn't stop her constant chatter the whole time they plastered her chin with glue then gave her two tiny stitches. She was very proud to show me her "whiskers" when they got home. Oh yeah, the next day was picture day at school. Go figure.

I'll tempt you with promises of pictures of a few little projects I've been working on. Let's just say I discovered Todd's stash of spray paints while I helped him clean out the garage. *giggle* I also dusted off ye old sewing machine!

So here's to regular every day boring life! May you have a regular boring day (vs. the major-appliance-spontaneously-combust kind of day).
