Only 1 week until Halloween...

I cannot believe October is almost over...next week we have parent teacher conferences on Tuesday, a meeting to change our escrow account on Wednesday (yes, we lead exciting lives!), we're going to the Oklahoma Aquarium (near Tulsa, about 1.5 hours from here) Halloween deal on Thursday (Zachary doesn't have school on Friday), we'll be at the OKC Zoo Haunt on Friday and do some bona fide trick or treating here locally on Saturday (a first for both the boys). I'm already exhausted just thinking about it.
After next week, we have about a week break of nothing big, then on the 12th of November the boys and I are going to see the stage show Curious George (somehow Jerry got out of this and I'm taking the boys alone...), then little more than a week after that we're heading to Colorado to see Uncle Dr. David and spend Thanksgiving with him. When we return it'll be a rush to get a Christmas tree, decorate the tree and house and put up the Christmas train around the tree, wrap gifts, unwrap gifts, visit Jerry's family, take down the tree, throw the (by that time) hated needle dropping dried out tree outside (where, if years past can foretell the future) the tree will blow around the back yard until a strong enough wind lifts it over our 4 foot high fence and out of our lives, then New Years and then the long, seemingly endless wait for spring....

So to catch everyone up...Zachary had what we think was the flu last week, he's fine, never really knocked him out of anything since he was on fall break. I was noticing yesterday that he seems to have grown a bit but as I'm too lazy to get the tape measure out we'll see at his 5 year well check appointment how much ;-) (and yes, that will be in June of 2010). Then I was sick for a few days, likely the flu also but the 24 hour variety which is not too bad at all. Kaleb is the most stubborn child when it comes to sleep, the kid won't do it until he, quite literally, falls down already asleep - not much on earth is funnier (is that a word?) than watching him dance around the living room, watch his eyes slam shut while still standing then he falls over fast asleep...

Speaking of 2010, can you believe that Y2K was a DECADE AGO?!?! 10 YEARS AGO!?!?! *sigh*
