Happy November!!!!

Okay, so I totally skipped October.  I had the best of intentions.  Really!  And actually had new pictures to post and everything!  But then...dang it all...life just kept creeping up and getting in the way.  That...and I find it harder and harder to get to my computer when there are any children here in the house.  But...just because I didn't get them posted in real time, so to speak, doesn't mean they can't be posted NOW!  And so...on this first day of November...I bring you...October!  A month in review!

October brought us fall break.  Which is one of the things I love MOST about living in the desert!  Texas doesn't have it.  But I think it's SUCH a well timed and wonderful break for our kiddos!  For Fall break this year, we went to California.  And by WE, I mean myself, Chris and Clara.  And her little friend.  The boys had other things to do here in town, like work, and Cars N Coffee and Lacrosse practice.  And so...for the first time ever...we left them behind.  At home.  Alone.  YIKES!!! It was totally 100% nerve wracking for me and I was not a fan of it.  They did fine.  Absolutely fine.  I, on the other hand, worried through most of it.  Not exactly relaxing.  Anywho...here are some shots from our beach getaway!

I love this shot of her cartwheeling her way across the beach!

Clara and her friend, Lux

Have I mentioned she's growing up WAY too fast?!

The girls also went to California Adventures and I think I have some shots of them...but they are on my phone and I will have to e-mail to myself to get them on here! A task for another time!

There hasn't been too much happening besides fall break...EXCEPT for Halloween!  Another milestone for us.  Clara spent her first halloween without us.  Spent the night and trick or treated with a friend.  And we weren't invited along to participate in the festivities.  Sniff sniff.  But I DID hold her captive before she left long enough to snap a few pictures of her!  Here's my beautiful little witch!

Tell me she isn't the cutest little witch you've ever seen?!

A very giggly witch!

Help me Rhonda, she's just SO gorgeous!

Did I mention she's gorgeous?

She seriously melts my heart!  Don't you love her witch "bling"?  She was working the spiders!

Of course...she can't be too serious for to long!

She's ready!

Seriously...total cuteness!

I could eat her up!  Sweeter than ANY candy she could possibly collect in her trick or treat bag!

And THAT is about all I have for October.  I wish I had tons of really exciting things to post...but alas...life just isn't quite that exciting.  Oh...and we DO have two other children.  They are just terribly camera shy creatures that I have a rather difficult time hunting down for pictures.  You will simply have to make due with the little one featured here.  She loves the camera!  Thank goodness!  Happy November!!!  I'll be back SOON!  (here's hoping anyway!)
