Sorry I've been MIA

I know I've been neglecting CafeMom lately...when life gets busy something has to fall by the wayside... I'm still here, and still thinking about my lovely CafeMom friends!

Here's my most recent blog, from Saturday...

Today was a pretty busy Saturday! There was stuff to do! After having a relaxing, quiet  morning, we went down the river trail to see the scarecrows. For the "First Friday" celebration in October every year there is a scarecrow competition. There are always some fun ones, some weird ones, and some that the kids think are scary. Here are some photos of this year's scarecrows (and one shot of my own crew +2). (As always, clicking will show you a larger version.)

  

After our trip through the scarecrows, we came back home for a short rest before going to Qwivals (AGAIN) for Andrew's birthday.

Andrew turns 10 tomorrow. I don't know how that happened! He was just a teeny, tiny little baby in the NICU, wasn't he? Well, he's not teeny, tiny anymore! He's a sweet, smiling, charming young man. Happy birthday, Anderpoodle!!

I'm exhausted, so I'm going to post and head to bed. Thanks for checking in!

Oh...but before I go, I want to share a close-up that is the whole family's favorite scarecrow...
