{pretty, happy, funny, real}

I've been away from it for so long that I think I've lost the hang of blogging.  I'll think of a million different things to write during the day, and by the time I'm ready to blog they have all left my head. 

Oh well, I think that's a little bit of an occupational hazard.  I can only keep a certain amount of information active in my brain at one time, and I think keeping the kids alive may trump blogging.  Just this once.

Or maybe blogging is like anything else in life in that it requires practice, practice, practice.  The less I write, the more I fall out of the habit of writing, and soon I'm not writing at all.

And that is why I am thankful for things like {pretty, happy, funny, real}.  It gives me a graceful re-entry to my blog!

Bun and Mopsy went as a matched set for Halloween.  Peter Pan and his little pixie friend Tinkerbell were the hit of the library's preschool story time.

It doesn't get much more real than a pre-Halloween snowfall that left thousands in our area without power.  I like the winter, but I like it even better when it starts after Thanksgiving.

iLove!   
Actually, this baby is like a really fancy stop-gap measure until we can go whole hog into an iMac for the family. Since I only do goof-off computer stuff, like blogging and Facebook and email, I am setting up this iPad as a central command for myself.  The kids are totally jealous.

Fiver was Super Mario for Halloween.  I find the mustache alone to be incredibly entertaining.

I love Bun's face in this picture.  It's like he can see Capt. Hook off the starboard bow!

Cinderella Sally, just waiting on the Fairy Godmother.  Have pumpkin, will travel.
