Out

The day was cool and sunny, the kids were happy to be out in the sun; we hit their favorite state park and hiked (at a rate of about 1 mile per week) and played in a waterfall. They fell asleep fairly early at 11 am, and I let them wake up in a pumpkin patch, which precipitated much squealing and exclamations of awe. We bought 6 pumpkins in various sizes to carve. Clearly *I* love Halloween.

I'm now driving away from my house to go out with friends - !! It will be an early night, but still - I have mascara on, for goodness sakes.
