1. We're in single digit weeks left until this baby arrives. I'm getting more excited as it gets closer. I'm also increasing in panic mode thinking about the many things that need to be done. It's amazing that when your body is slowing down the most and looking the largest during a pregnancy you suddenly have the urge to clean carpets and install shelving and rearrange the whole house and a myriad of other things that require a lot of energy. One of those things in life that just doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me.
2. In case you didn't know already, Halloween and I are not BFF's. I grew up in a place where it was nothing but scary, and maybe I played a part in that as a somewhat fearful child. At any rate, I'd much rather have some sort of apple-inspired Autumn fete. Maybe I'll post some inspiration next week, and if I'm feeling really motivated, maybe I'll put one together for friends. Who doesn't love anything apple related at this time of year.
3. I've been getting a little crafty lately. I've been on the search for storage containers for above my desk but hadn't found what I wanted, so I repurposed some other containers around the house, covered them all in pretty fabric, and got what I wanted. On the list for the weekend is this project with the abundance of indian corn from Pat's parents. Hopefully I'll find success and it won't blow away in the fall winds.
4. I love changing menus at this time of year. Soups and stews are here again. The grill is probably close to its seasonal retirement. Squash is making its appearance.
5. Can't wait for general conference this weekend. I need it!

I 2nd your motion about General Conference! Can't wait to see you guys on Monday!
Halloween and I are not BFF's either...thanks to my many years as an elementary school teacher, I think. We'll just grin and bear it!
I'm afraid our poor grill doesn't get a "seasonal retirement". I've been known to stand in the snow with scarf and hat on to grill :D
oh, and one little tip: mice LOVE indian corn. Just a little warning. A few years ago we had some indian corn and it was put away in our storage closet in a plastic bag. When we moved a few months later the cobs were nibbled clean off and there were mouse droppings all over. ICKY!!!!!!!
ode to single digit weeks. 4 more weeks til I am there. seems like an eternity.
hope you had a wonderful conference weekend with your cute fam.
