So my life seems to revolve around kid's parties of late. We're either taking Ryan to a friend's birthday party, or planning Ryan's upcoming party (Pirate theme--complete with treasure hunt, swashbuckling attire, pirates grog and a movie), or helping to plan the Halloween party for Ryan's first grade class (I'm one of the room moms), or helping new friends with getting ready for their kids' parties... And then there are the kids parties that we're unable to attend this year thanks to our new geographic location, but we still want to send a fun gift. I'm ready for a grown up soiree! Today's kid party (for Liam, pictured above with Ryan) is also a costume party, so we will be getting the kiddos dressed up pretty soon. They are all quite excited to be wearing their Halloween costumes.
It is a perfect fall day today--started off in the low 40's for Ryan's football game. We actually had to turn the heat on this morning to take the chill off. By this afternoon it is in the low 60's -- nice and crisp with an amazing blue sky--not a single cloud. The leaves are starting to change down here, but since there are so many pine trees, the effect isn't as dramatic as I've grown used to seeing. It's still quite pretty though, lots of brilliant red trees interspersed through the pines right out my window as I sit here typing. It's so strange to look out windows and see so much natural stuff around me. I'd grown so accustomed to having houses on top of us over the past 10-15 years (19 if you count college dorms and apartments). This is the first place I've lived in some time where it feels like home, and not a temporary resting place...
