Fail

I missed posting yesterday. My first fail of the month. Gah. I'm not even going to get into the excuses because I'm pretty sure no one here really cares how tired I was last night. I'm going to try to post twice today so that will still be "31 for 21," right?


It was another beautiful fall weekend here. Seriously I just want to bottle up these days that are just so bright and clear and mild with just the perfect touch of appropriate chill to the air, the backdrop of everything being glorious changing leaves. I. Love. Fall.

I do not, however, love the raking of those glorious leaves. I managed to rake most of the backyard and then there was a bit of a logjam getting the leaves from our backyard to the curb. See above. Hopefully this year I will get them to the street before the snow arrives.

As I mentioned, Leo was a little under the weather all weekend so he was extra cuddly and at times, a little extra cranky. Sunday afternoon after a busy morning of playing Chuck it with Ruby outside, Leo, Ellie and I piled into bed for some quiet time (since there would be no napping). All I can say is thank you Nick Jr. for the Halloween marathon. It was just what the doctor ordered.

In bed Leo asked for a snack and then announced that he wanted an apple. Since I had just brought him grapes (inhaled in five minutes) and then a banana, I told him he could get his apple. So he disappeared downstairs for a few minutes and returned with not one, but three apples, one for Ellie and one for me too (though neither of us had asked for one). That boy. Even when he's crabby, he's a sweetie.
