*ahem*
Sorry, it's just, well, you know.. fall! My favorite time of year when all the leaves change color and the temperature drops from too warm for sweats and a hoody to just right. It's when I can finally taste the sweet sweet nectar of hot chocolate in all it's many forms, while curled up on the couch and veg to some of my favorite movies like Nightmare Before Christmas, Hocus Pocus and Coraline (amongst many others).
It's the time of year when ghosts and goblins begin to litter the yards, keeping the fallen leaves company and children become even more antsy than usual, waiting for Halloween and the following weeks of sugar shock induced comas, while they fret over costumes for the long awaited night.
It's also the time for All Hallow's Read, something I heard about a few years back and have since fallen in love with. I blogged about this last year and I'm going to do it again this year. The idea behind All Hallows Read is to give a book, a scary book, to somebody on Halloween. It's an idea that's beginning to take off and someday, will become tradition, but for now we have this: http://www.allhallowsread.com/ which explains everything much better than I can. There's even a really cool poster for libraries and bookstores and whoever else!
This fall is one filled with many "firsts" for me, as well as my little Bootstrap. I'm unusually excited about Halloween because it's his first. His mom wants him to be a tiger or something but I see an Ewok in our future ;)
This Mr. Mom thing is becoming a bit easier and more fulfilling as I learn how to use his naps as productively as possible. Cleaning, laundry, fixing computers and writing; I'll get the hang of it eventually.
Here's what the two of us have been up to of late
