Yes, we are still here!

It's been a crazy, crazy month, this November. I'm not abandoning the blog...it's clean laundry or updates. I know, that doesn't seem like such a tough call...but I have a thing about the kids smelling too bad at school.

Little sample of our month:

  • The end of soccer season - Aidan on the 1st, Colin on the 8th. The weekends feel awfully empty now. Indoor soccer and baseball hitting clinics start up in January, so it's just a breather.
  • Trip to North Conway to the lovely Hampton Inn with the water park. The pictures from the camera phone are crappy...just like the mother who forgot to bring the real camera. The boys loooved the Weather Discovery Center and we hear a ton these days about Mount Washington and flying cats. (You'd have to see the exhibits to get the latter.)
  • Teacher conferences - let's just say, in the words of the fabulous Meatloaf, that 2 out of 3 ain't bad.
  • Baby showers - my next door neighbor's having a baby in a few weeks, as are 3 of my coworkers. So I did a little hosting, a little shopping...and talked myself out of baby fever. (If this doesn't bring out the comments, will anything?!)
  • Work. We'll leave it at that.
  • Christmas shopping. Oh wait....no. Hasn't happened.
  • Sickies. Seamus got diagnosed with pneumonia, me with bronchitis and I'm sure Colin would have had a similar label slapped on him if his slacker parents hadn't ignored his symptoms and willed him to get better on his own.

I'll comment! Go you for talking yourself out of baby fever! Of course, it wouldn't be bad for you to have another one... I am in full support of more babies, as long as they aren't mine.

GO FOR ANOTHER ONE! Seamus would make an awesome big brother. :) And in a few years, you'll be all uneven when the family tries to ride roller coasters...

I'm with Sheila - everyone BUT ME should have more babies.
