it is fall, it is fall...the leaves are falling everywhere.

(post title courtesy of yo-gabba-gabba.  this is in my head for the entire season.)

i was definitely feeling bitter about the weather change...once it starts to cool down AT ALL, i start dreading the snow (or more accurately, the freezing rain.  ick.).  but october has won me over.  the weather has been beautiful here in the sorta-northeast, and we’ve been doing all of the fall things that you’re supposed to do.  apple & pumpkin picking, hayrides, cider, wine tastings...you’d think we were the rockwells!  (which, umm, we’re not.)  i’ve been a bad blogger, but i’d like to think it’s because we’re really enjoying ourselves before the shit-tastic weather moves in.  

i did have one ‘bad mom’ moment that i believe is noteworthy...i locked the keys in the car last week.  with A in it.  yup, i was that mom.  for the event, i had the help of two local cops, one state trooper, and a locksmith...but who saved the day (and at least $400)?  you guessed it.  my sis.  she came to the rescue with the spare keys.  she rocks, y’all.   

but anyway, here are some recent pics (i know that’s why you come to this site...so i’ll get right to it!).
