My 100th Post!

I noticed that today is my 100th post - not too bad for about 15 months or so. I think we are finding our fall groove, it sure is a different schedule with school on 2 days, can't imagine what it will be like when we go 4 or 5 next year! We are trying to keep things kind of low-key on the days after school days because the boys are just more tired than normal.

We hit the Zoo this weekend and rode the tram - very exciting for the boys, not so much for me but I'll happily do it for them. Carter and I also had a little date lunch on Sunday - Sean wasn't in the mood for having lunch out and I was fearful we'd be inside all day so off we went, it is amazing how wonderful he was all by himself - he ate and we had nice conversation.

As our pictures show we've had lots of rain - it has been cool too but I love 70's-80's so I won't complain. It has also given the boys the opportunity to use their rain gauge, however, I can't really give an exact measurement from day to day since they want to dump it - a) before I can see it and b) every time there is a droplet of rain in it - so I'd tell Sean - we got 1 inch from the last time they emptied it, I guess it works and they are starting to pay attention to the numbers on it when I get to it quick enough.

The boys geared up for the Bears vs. Packers game on Sunday night - Lincoln didn't want to take off his t-shirt that was on over his jammies but Sean was able to convince him it might have been too hot. Carter was not pleased to wake up and find out that they'd lost and that Mimi's "Stinky" Packers had won, after a short conversation on that I decided I wouldn't bring it up again!

I tried to put some 4T jeans on Carter this morning - what was I thinking when I bought a normal cut pair of jeans for him - they are super cute and from Gymboree but I'm thinking that my skinny little men might never be able to wear them, although they have the adjustable waist they need an adjustable butt - he needs at least another 7 pound to even start to fill that out!

I had too many t.v. tears last night between the poor lady who lost her family on The Biggest Loser (who I'll be rooting for all year, I think) and Patrick Swayze's last interview I had some serious tears - between that and The Time Traveler's Wife I think I've had my crying quota!
