September happened

So . . . I fear that I am about to commit the unpardonable sin of playing blog catch up.  I don't know what happened to me!  Our fall was amazing but went by SO fast, and before I knew it, it was Christmas!  I want to say two things: First, that I have full intentions of being better at keeping up with this blog again!  I will not desert this little spot . . . even if we have no more than two readers left.  Secondly, I want to say that this school year has been CRAZY for me, schedule-wise.  I have Henry's school drop-offs and pickups (we walk every day), plus Ellis is in preschool or Joy School five days a week, as well as a theater class on Thursdays.  Sam and I are constantly on the go, getting the big brothers to their places . . . and home from their places.  I would say that we should drop something, but after much evaluation, I have decided that this busy schedule keeps Ellis happy.  And when Ellis is happy, the rest of us are happy!  So we press on.  The blog may suffer, but there is happiness (amid the madness) here.

With no further ado, I present to you some random pictures from September:

A few presents for the birthday boy

Darth Vader!  The brothers approve.

Especially this brother!

In Henry's class, he frequently has to make lists.  90% of the time, the lists are about penguins.  Not regular penguins, like the ones you find at the aquarium, but penguins from Henry's fantasy world: The Army of Penguins.  Yes, the obsession continues.

Sam likes sugar.  And why eat the healthy part of anything when you can just bite the yummy part off?  Yes, we often let him get away with this type of behavior.  I blame my parenting techniques on the madness and reality of raising three children.

I still read and love your blog! I feel a bit the same way about mine . . . readers have moved on, but I do love having my family history so I press on.
