It's that time of year again...

...for my annual cold/possible sinus infection. Almost frightening how I get sick at almost the same time every year. And with our current schedule, there hasn't been much time for resting. I'm hanging in there though, and grateful I can still function even if I don't feel like it!

It's also time to plan the Halloween costumes in our house. I realize some people have been working on this for weeks, possibly even months, but I'm all about trying to ignore it and see if I can get the kids on board with that. Needless to say it never happens, but my kids have grasped that the costumes need to be inexpensive and easy to put together. Two of the three are ready, and JR can always go with the slasher costume again this year if he needs to. I suspect someday my grandchildren will have elaborate Halloween costumes because my children will want to overcompensate for the Halloweens I never gave them. Doesn't change my feelings about Halloween!

Today is also the end of the regular season for JR's football team. They will be in the playoffs though, so it isn't really the end of the season. We don't have any details about that, but I'm glad he's enjoyed the season so far.

And it's also the time of year for us to provide breakfast to Sunday School. This year's requirements are 11 doz. donuts/baked goods and 3 gallons of milk. I'm mostly done, but I've still got some baking to do!
