I wish I could get into blogging....

Today is my "day off". My mother-in-law keeps Rock on Wednesday mornings - which is totally wonderful - but I decided to volunteer from 9:30 to 11:30 at my school district's art center so that I can stay in touch with future job possibilities. Oh, AND so I can do something good for the people in my community. Unfortunately this takes quite a chunk out of my morning off. I am complaining, but I don't really mean it. I actually like my volunteer time. There are many benefits to being a volunteer - such as: 1 - you can be a few minutes late and not have to feel guilty (I'm still trying to work on punctuality), 2 - you can choose where you want to volunteer (I am volunteering at the District's Art Center - not in a roadside clean-up crew), 3 - volunteers are usually seen a kind-hearted do-gooders and therefore get lots of hugs and smiles and credit for the small (2 hrs/week) amount of time they work. Anyway, I like talking with Leslie so it is totally worth it.

I decided that no matter what I would definitely post something to my blog tonight.... I am totally slacking.

We had an awesome day today. Adam, Rock, Coco, and I went to the Flower Mound Pumpkin Patch. it was so cool to see Rock sitting on mounds of pumpkins and hay. Maybe next year he will actually care about choosing a pumpkin to take home with us. I do think he had a great time. We got to see animals in a VERY small petting zoo - one donkey and three sheep, but I think he was impressed anyway. Rock is too small this year for the pony rides or the other small rides (like the mini ferris wheel), but maybe next year or the year after that....

I love this time of year. Autumn - the best season ever! I love how the excitement keeps building and building until Christmas and then New Year's. I can tell that Rock is enjoying the fun activities too. Having him around makes everything new and exciting again...
