November snuck in




How did that happen?  Wasn’t it just July a few days ago!?  I love this time of year, leaves falling and crisp weather.  I didn’t mean to be MIA for over a week though. 

We had company last week, my sister-in-law and niece came for the Halloween weekend.  I love it when they visit, my niece adores my sons and they adore her and their aunt.  Its nice to have more girls in the house!

This is the first year that my boys have not been too interested in trick or treating.  My oldest didn’t want to go at all, unless it was with his friends.  My youngest wanted to go, I could tell, but kind of felt like he is too old.  That problem was solved when my niece came, because she is younger and she wanted him to go with her. 

My oldest son decided to have a friend over on Halloween.  The only thing that makes this different than the millions of other friends that come over is that this friend was a girl.  I don’t want to give details or tell stories that are not mine to tell, but I will say that as much as I firmly believe 14 is too young to date, and my 14  year old will not be going on actual dates, I really liked her dad bringing her over, coming in to meet my husband and I, and having her here at the house hanging out with all of us.  That is how it should be.  It was so cute because my niece didn’t know what to think about it, she was just happy to have another girl here and  she kept finding reasons to “check on them”.  It was also extremely adorable to see how nervous my boy was when  he met his friends father – as he should be.  Of course, the dad was just as nervous, since it is his only daughter.  This is new territory for all of us. 

The only thing that surprised me was how I morphed into my lovely mother in law when his friend came over.  I asked that child probably twenty times if she wanted anything to eat, drink, candy, cupcakes, what would you like dear?  That is how my mother in law was when she first met me, and I could not make myself stop asking my son and his friend if they wanted food! 

I realize its already November 5, but even though I’m getting a late start, I am going to try to post every day for the rest of November for National Blog Posting Month.  I need to get back in the habit of posting regularly.  We’ll ignore that I’m starting late :)
