My thoughts for Thursday!

1..I've missed Blogging. I realize that now.  And I am jumping back in with GUSTO!!

2..Is it possible that Hayden is smarter after only 3 1/2 weeks of Kindy?  His painting/coloring repertoire has expanded significantly, he comes home with a new story every day, and his memory boggles my mind!  Yesterday was the Terry Fox run and Hayden told me Terry's whole story.  And he illustrated it.  Amazing.  

3..Among Hayden's new skills is a love for scissors.  He made art out of Kleenex yesterday.  When I wasn't looking.  He gets his craftiness from his mama ;)

4.. I am trying to find new sunglasses.  I think I tried on 87 pairs yesterday, and kept texting the photos of myself to Ralph for his opinion.  I drove him crazy with the constant buzz of BBM and  I couldn't make a decision to save my soul!  Everything I really thought I liked, he did not.  Too bug-eyed, too tom cruise, too big......Aaarrgghhhhh!! Why does it have to be so difficult?? Do I have an oddly shaped face??  And, after all that, I left with NOTHING.  I need a personal shopping assistant.

5..It is hard to get a photo of all 4 of us these days.  Thanks Megan for snapping one on our camping trip in Elkton Valley!

6..I think my Spring cleaning mode was delayed until Fall.  I am suddenly in the mood to clean and purge and have a GIANT garage sale to get rid of stuff I don't really need.  Today I clean the walls......

7..I am FREAKING OUT!!  3 weeks till Mexico! I need to tape my mouth shut, stop snacking at night and lose 10 pounds.  Ambitious I know.  Please email me a crazy-good cleanse if you have one :)

8.. Does everyone know the children's book the Gruffalo? If you don't, you NEED to own it.  My kids LOVE it.  AND, we found the 1/2 hour movie adaptation (narrated by Helena Bonham Carter) which is extra awesome.

9.. I got a picture of my cats together.  (Bella-left, Gia-right) It's a miracle!  And it's only because they were waiting to be fed :)

10. I LOVE Fall.  I want to go shopping for Fall sweaters and boots and jackets and hats and scarves.  NO SOCKS.  I am really going to enjoy these precious days in the crisp air and lovely warm sunshine. And make an extra trip or two to the park.  With a pumpkin spice latte.  Skinny with no whip :)
