Poor Scott! My love language is 'acts of service'. Not sometimes. Not that and something else. Just that. 'Acts of service.'
Yup!
I pretty much love house projects. And although this is a a terrible picture of this project {I will take more when I get a chance} you can see he did a LOT to this tiny room.

Today was Halloween. I spent my day with nine year olds... 21 of them from 8:30-3:20.
They sure were excited. I dressed up as a Baker... I got to wear my apron, a chief hat, and carry around my rolling pin. My fourth graders dressed up too.
In my town there are no 'parties' any more once its' upper elementary which I am actually really happy about!
I got an adorable video from Anna tonight thanking me for the gifts I left for her to open on Halloween.
Abigail was thrilled with some new hair products I found for her.

Scott answered the door all evening for all of the adorable trick or treaters that came to our house.
Oh! And I took down every speck of fall decor ... tomorrow I start on our holiday decorations! I am so excited!

That last weekend Anna was home for fall break we packed it all in...
My parents and brother came over for dinner (no pictures of all of that) but we did end the evening outside in the chilly weather eating apple cranberry crisp next to the fire pit. There was hot coffee, herbal tea, and happy visiting. The best!
I feel like a professional college visit Mom. I could write a book! I do enjoy them - when I have the time. This visit I was balancing a basket of correcting on my lap while feeling a bit nauseous from looking down, and getting really confused since I usually spread out (like really spread out) when I correct. But I made it work and it was such a beautiful weather day. Fall perfection!
She knows now every school she will be applying to. She won't tell anyone where she's applying except for us of course... she wants to keep this whole thing to herself until she's firmly decided. She doesn't have one top choice but rather a top three (or maybe four). She has been working so hard and soon those first applications will be submitted! EEEK!
If I could choose I always want my girls to be a 'day trip' only away. You know, head up, go to Mass, take them out to lunch, hit a few antique shops, enjoy campus, order a tea for the road, and head home. It's not really about that of course...
We had such a wonderful week with Anna home on fall break. Of course Scott, Abigail, and I were all in school that week but we sure did pack those evenings and both weekends. As time goes by I am just so grateful for Anna and her thoughtfulness. She left us these cards on our nightstands to find after bringing her back to college. She is always so considerate and thoughtful, thanking us for the things we did and the memories we made.
