One Week?

So Saranac Lake, you couldn't wait one week before you started Winter Wonderland 2008-2009 Edition? When I saw the picture of our yard from Wednesday, I literally gasped. Too exciting. The boys and I are heading up next week to get ready for our winter fun. The picture also prompted me to call our trusty neighbor Bill to inquire if he has found any firewood. Anyone know a good source?

For this week, we will enjoy our first Halloween in Brooklyn...yo. I'll try to take some pictures but um...I can't seem to find my camera after my move. Sigh. Not so important as the costumes are pretty uninspired. Clarke rejected my Todd Palin and Bloodied Banker idea and Oscar just wanted The Joker. Each year I get a little less inspired for this damn holiday. I'm waiting for the kids to kind of get over it? Is that wrong? I'll happily move on to the real holidays coming up.

Pondering

Thanks to all for your nudges, and hellos, and emails. Well, it is very tempting to get into great detail about the reasons why I haven't been blogging, because it might make the 46er Stickler (OCD?) commenter feel terrible about being so petty when life is about so much more...but I won't. Suffice to say, life has gotten a lot more complicated lately and everytime I go to post, I feel odd leaving out details, and I have no desire to make my nice family blog into something else.

Also we haven't been getting to the barn very often which makes me incredibly sad. I can't believe I haven't been to Tuckers Taters for the corn maze; I can't believe Oscar chose not to have his party there this year; i can't believe I missed the fall color.

HOWEVER, I now have a bit of mind space to figure out how to schedule in our regular trips again, and am determined to take a trip in November and then of course, SKI SEASON!

I am not going to post until we get back up there but I think I will be ready soon. Thanks again, everyone.
