Our Desert Homestead

Fall is over

I love Fall but where we live it is way too short.  Sept. is still really warm and Nov. gets cold and everything freezes up and dies off.  But Oct. was good while it lasted.  I was gone a lot.  I took 8 days and drove to Minnesota with my Dad and daughter.  We went to help my sister.  Then my dh and I went to Las Vegas to renew wedding vows with friends of ours.  It was different and I had a good time but don't feel a need to go back there again.  I hope to be home for many months now.  We got our sprinklers blown out on Monday and then that night it was like 16 degrees.  I was thankful for a friend who was unemployed who was looking for odd jobs who did that for us. 

We had fun dressing the kids up for trick or treating.  Lexi was the cookie monster and Jenise was a soccer player and Tristan was darth vader.  It was cold so we did lots of layers.  We went with friends that we went with last year too.  It was so cute watching Lexi run to the doors and say trick or treat and then peering into the basket and then waiting for more.  Then she would finally say thank you and leave.  I know Halloween is a controversial holiday but I have great and fun memories of the day and I just want to have the innocent fun with my kids too.  We ate dinner together with our friends and then watched a movie afterwards. 

Today my mom and I are going to the Holiday Bazaar thing at the big colosium (sp?).  We used to go together years ago when we still lived in the same area but it has been quite a few years since we have done that.  Papa will come over and help watch the kids since dh has meetings this cold Sat, morning.

Think I need to go get the paper - drink my coffee and sit by the gas fireplace before I get moving with my day.
