I am a complete slacker. I apologize.
September is notoriously rough, as all the kids and I readjust to school schedules and the ups and downs of new classrooms. Heck, Megan didn't even have her real teacher until mid-month since she was on maternity leave!
But September is over and October's nearly there as well. We have a busy week coming up. James has a long work week, there's Red Ribbon Week at the girls' school, costume day at the preschool, school trunk or treat, church trunk or treat and then, of course, Halloween. Phew!
Today, though, we took advantage of the finally-fall weather and explored the corn maze at the farm we normally go berry-picking at. It was an enjoyable evening, but I'm not sure I'm up for paying their price for the experience again any time soon... Either way, it was fun while it lasted.

And, the final tidbit: My car started acting up recently. I was all set to switch out the brakes and rotors, but on my way home from a parent-teacher conference, it started making a really scary sound. Enough that I immediately pulled over and called for the tow truck rather than finish the last 3/4 mile to our house. Something was really wrong with the brakes at the end and the repair costs were too high. It was a very long day, but we ended up with another car (this time without the brake problems and the transmission problem right around the bend).
