My week didn't have a very good start. Yesterday I had the son home from school with some intestinal distress! But, everyone seems to be well this morning and are off at school.

One of the son's friends is staying with us at night this week. For those of you who have been with me for a while, this is the same friend who stayed with us one weekend a year or so ago, after his mom reconsidered leaving a 13 year old home alone for the weekend!!!! This time she did ask me about a month ago if he could stay with us and I said sure. She and I are not close friends and it always strikes me as strange that she would ask me to watch her son. But, a friend said she probably knows that we have "rules" here at our house and her son would be well looked after!

After a gloomy day yesterday, today the sun is shining and it is nice and cool this morning! I did a morning walk before I had to get everyone up for school and actually had to wear a jacket! LOVING IT!!!!

I have seen so many cute things done with pumpkins, I am on a mission this week to find some and do a little decorating on the outside!

Have a terrific Tuesday!
