I have decided that I love Halloween. I put up the decorations the last day of September and have enjoyed the entire month of October. It has thus far been a great month for our little family. This morning, the girls and I were out walking in the neighborhood and Aubree pauses, look up at me, and says, "I never noticed just how nice and beautiful our neighborhood is.". How cute is that, she has an optimistic little personality because our neighborhood is nothing fancy, just your average one, and yet to her it is great. I guess home truly is where your heart is and you do become fond of where you live or grow up. Also, this month, Jake and I were able to go see the play "Wicked". It was fabulous and a last minute decision. We were uncertain if I could get off work but I called and switched schedules with someone before I attempted to contact my manager for approval, that way he is more likely to approve it. The play was great and childcare also worked out easily for us. We also went out last night, just the two of us, to dinner...sometimes, it is nice to just be alone if only for an hour or two. Another wonderful thing that happened this month, is I had a few love noted from Ginny left where I would find them. It put my days off to a great start. She is a little whiz. She was exempt from her last math test but opted to take it, to miss zero instead of one. Ginny is also very good at helping Aubree as she learns to read. I have the two best little girls ever!!! Life is good.
