Digression

Today, on 10-10-10 (I find no real significance, just chronicling the date), I am:
1. making ultra-cute diapers for a friend's impending baby girl (because I buy boring, cheap fabric for my own children's buns).
2. baking the pumpkin (because its all of 86 degrees outside today. In mid-October!).
3. laundry. Oh, and more laundry. And after that? Laundry (because its getting harder to bend over to my front-loaders without the towers that they should be stood up on).
4. cleaning bathrooms (because...well, they're gross).

But before I start all that...

October had seen better days. On this particularly cool morning, after Verity got dressed, she found herself a sweater (and house boots) to help stay toasty. Industrious children, I have.
And he was thrilled to sleep in fleece jammies.
It was actually cool enough to warrant a hot breakfast. I am a firm believer that every child should have (from-scratch!) pancakes (usually made by Daddy on a Saturday) at least once a week.
We even had hot apple cider- cooked on the stovetop, nonetheless! It would have been better on a cast-iron stove, fueled by coal or wood or corn, but I do what I can with what I've been given.

The spread.


And then this one?

This one is 2.
This one sprained her ankle at the park.
This one is milking it.
This one still has a gimp this morning.
