This & That {weekend edition}

Surprise! Here is a little something to read while your having a giant cup of coffee or cheering at soccer, football and cross country this weekend:

1. Skulls are in the air..I loved your "photo Friday"! A collection of glittery skulls. I noticed skulls and skeletons are popular this Halloween. I bought a couple myself. Should I get more? There is still time. I find that I keep decorating as the month goes on. Just yesterday, I added some twinkly, orange lights on a tree.

2. I asked William how his play date went with the little girl-friend in his class. "Not good mommy, she just wanted to play married. I wanted to play skeleton." {see, skeletons are in the air!}

3. Dilemma: my hair is long enough - finally - to put in a stubby ponytail (which you know I adore) I am tempted to chop it short again, but, alas, so long ponytail. And, you know, once I go ponytail or bun (!) I never go back. What should this t do?

4. Classic: brought home a small, ironstone dish from an antique shop. Love it. Has a little blue stamp on the edge, perfect size for multiple purpose. Sigh. Dropped the bag as I was juggling my handbag, keys, a backpack, and two coats on the way in the door. Luckily, I just bought superglue.

5. A big quote ~ "I looked on child rearing not only as a work of love and duty but as a profession that was fully as challenging as any honorable profession in the world and one that demands the best I could bring to it." By Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy

6. To Ed - Happy 25 Years to The United States Naval Academy Class of 1986. Enjoy the memories, old and new. Go Navy!
