Thank You Notes

Since it's been a solid month since an update (and there has been a lot to update on!), I'm going to do a quick run-through of events as of recent in Jimmy Fallon thank-you note style.  Here goes:

Thank You...younger sibling,
For still bearing little kids I can cuddle and dote on and give right back!

Thank You...Midwestern weather,
For giving us reason to wear layers, but allowing us to fully appreciate a beautiful day!

A day at nearby Starved Rock on a gorgeous day off school

Thank You...cheer schedule,
For having the one day off that another kid has a commitment!

Thank You...mums,
For giving us color when all the other flowers have given up.

Thank You...Halloween stores,
For offering the choice of either Frozen costumes or sleaze costumes for tween girls.

Thank You...last camping trip,
For giving us a glimpse of imminent death as we looked down from some the awesome hiking.

Devil's Lake, WI

Thank You...pumpkin patches,

For being considered an October "must" or we would be "ruining a childhood," per Will.

Corn maze + Animals + pumpkins + climbing castle = happy childhood

Thank you...blog, 

For still being here even though it looked as though I had given up.

Thank you...weather persons, 

For predicting a milder winter.
