Time for an update (I know, right?)

School has been going well. I can't believe we're into October already.

As you can probably tell, Lili is taking ballet lessons. Honest-to-goodness REAL ballet lessons at a schnazzy ballet school. ooooohhh.

I just love seeing her in her leotard with her hair in a 'ballet bun'.

Cute, no?


Her classes are going well. She learns several new techniques every week.

She told me she "just loves ballet".

Since we are in the midst of October and the Halloween season, I figured I'd might as well deal with it and put out my Halloween stuff. I hate that the pool is closed and the nights are cold and the mornings are dark, but you have to get through it to get to summer again. blah.

Between the Dollar Tree and Goodwill, my house is pretty much set. I didn't spend a red cent on retail. So exciting. Makes me like the stuff even more :)

Not too much going on around here. We're back 'home' for the fall and winter. Not too many jaunts planned for going back to the 'summer house' (considering it is a summer house and all). I think we are going to spend Christmas Eve and Day there though since it'll make it easier to be with our families over the holidays. So that'll be nice.

I'd like to say we're going to spend Thanksgiving there too, but that's not going to happen.
You know why?

Because we're going to the Dallas Cowboys Thanksgiving Day game, that's why!!

It's my 40th birthday present. I don't care if they win, I don't care if they lose by 50 points, I don't care that I'll be 40 (gulp) I'm going to be there IN DALLAS live. Holy crap. I'm going to buy all the merchandise I see and I'm not coming back until I scour every. single. store. So tired of the Bears/Colts merchandise around here I could scream!!

As you can probably imagine, I can't wait for Thanksgiving.

6 more weeks.

Hope everyone has a nice autumn week.
