Considering It

I think my bad eyesight is affecting my ability to kick butt in air hockey. That alone is enough to make me seriously consider going to the eye doctor. If my kidlets weren't going to be leaving me to join the academic world in the next couple years, I would get an air hockey table. Although, I could probably afford one better after they leave and it would be something fun to do when they come home to visit me... I'm obviously looking for any excuse to get a table. My love of air hockey is juvenile, I know. And...I. Don't. Care. So there. Hmph!

It's definitely fall. It's actually cold today. I had to close the patio door and turn the ceiling fans off. waaahhhhh! I am excited though, it's October which means Halloween which means pumpkin bread and pumpkin muffins and super yummy pumpkin pie! It also means trips to the pumpkin patch and getting lost in corn mazes and seeing zombies in the haunted house. I've got to find a guy to go through the corn maze with. I do NOT have that innate sense of direction. The only corn maze I went in I wandered around (with a map of clues) for about 2 hours and ended up exiting through the entrance. I never did get through the entire thing. It was rather pathetic running around in circles the entire time. I think I saw the entrance about 4 times and finally started to get tired and thirsty so the next time we stumbled upon the entrance, we exited. It's also time to dig out the kids' favorite Halloween book - Big Pumpkin. It has to be read with different voices for different characters. I love making one of the monsters have a high pitched girlie voice. I'll have bedtime story time for my 16 and 17 year olds.
