Hello, Fall!

Oh, how I have missed you and your lovely unpredictable weather. Don't tell the other's but you will always be my favorite!

I truly wish I could express how happy I am for this season to be here. My favorite holiday is fast approaching. Halloween! And OMG I am completely geeking out over how awesome our costumes will be this year.

My plan, as long as the kid(s) will tolerate it, I totally want to do family costumes. This year will be the first. I know most families have Christmas traditions and such, and I plan on having some of those too, but Halloween will always be my favorite as it has been for years!

Last night I had some very interesting dreams. Or maybe it was all one big epic dream of oddness. Either way, here's the highlight reel:

Someone gave me a magical, black, square ukulele. What its magic powers were? No flipping idea. I just know that someone gave it to me at some seedy looking dive of a motel and it was magical.

K and I were driving in my Subaru on the hill near the mall in LC and saw our friend Kaitlyn walking her dog with her mom.

The wee human climbed out of her crib at nap time because she needed a diaper change. For some reason, wherever we were I had to lay her on a cookie sheet on the stove (it was off) to change her diaper...

And that's it. Those three points are all that I remember of a night of dreams that left me confused and tired.

I think the crib climbing aspect came from the wee one deciding she wants to start standing on her own sans support. I am just glad she figured out how to plop onto her little butt when she loses her balance. Every new thing is a little surprise, and completely amazing. Just the way their minds and abilities develop are astounding. They learn the tiniest thing and then are doing it like a pro in a matter of minutes, hours, or days.

Today is the first day in over three months that I am wearing shoes to work. It feels so weird... For one, I feel significantly taller due to my shoes having three inch heels. For two I will have to change from my heels to my sneakers to go walking.

I've totally lost track of my train. I am going to sip more cider and ponder the credentials needed to be an underwriter. The story on that next time.
