whirlwind

(at the pumpkin patch before daddy leaves)

It's hard to believe we're over halfway through October.

There are still boxes waited to be unpacked

most of them are hiding out downstairs now.

I have a few spooky decorations to make my 5 year old happy

I should probably put them up soon

It feels like the busy season has started early this year.

There was the busyness of moving

Monday hubby left for Uruguay

He'll be back in time for Halloween

and then we'll have a birthday party (I still have to plan),

Thanksgiving,

another batch of birthdays (more planning),

Christmas (eek!),

one more birthday

and then New Years.

It's crazy, but I love it. I love being with family and friends.

Even if it sometimes makes me feel like this. :)

(I told him to smile!)

I'm really trying to slow down a little

and savor some moments...

I have to remind myself

otherwise I'm onto the next thing.

Anyway...I'm a little scattered right now (if you couldn't tell).

But am currently enjoying the peace and quiet of 4 kids in bed (although it's a little lonely)...

catching up on blogs...

trying not to think too hard about the busyness of tomorrow

or the new to me noises our house makes...

I'll have to post a little etsy love soon.

I've been spending a little too much time there. :)

And if you haven't already, you need to go to Jeanne's etsy shop.

Her new collection, The French Brocante, is amazing!
