I'm off to Chicago in the morning and likely will not be around the blogworld for a few days. Right now, it's just been a treat to pace and stress that I won't forget anything. It's been nearly 15 months since I travelled anywhere on a plane...a record for me and my travelling bug.
The bags are packed. I'm ready to go.
Got my Ipod loaded
And the laptop just so.
Ok, never said I was a poet.
Here's a few pictures from the pumpkin patch from the weekend to keep the place looking spiffy over the next couple days.

Ms. Thang and her pumpkin. Although I must refer to her as her new name - Werewolf. She has decided she is a werewolf, plain and simple. After crawling on all fours through the mud of the pumpkin patch, I asked her what she was doing. Rolling her eyes, she huffed 'I am a WEREWOLF!' as if I was the thickest person on the planet. So I told her werewolves only come out at night, and she shouldn't crawl in the dirt until the sun goes down. Her response? Screamed at the top of her lungs with the emotion and turmoil-filled voice of a teenager, 'I'M NOCTURNAL!!!!!!!!!!!' before she got up and stomped away from me.

Alex is very happy little guy. Just bring a camera out now and he is all giggles. And apparently, pumpkins are quite hilarious when you're 10 months old.

I changed my hair colour drastically over the weekend. Went from a dark blonde to this. It's very close to my natural (although what is natural, now that I'm going grey?) and I am getting used to it, but it's taking a bit. Hayley was explaining how corn works to me while we were waiting for the hayride to arrive. Did you know that werewolves only eat corn? Who knew? Unfortunately, this little werewolf had to be picked up and carried off when she decided to bare her teeth at the Pumpkin Princess who tried to take the corn away.
