maybe next year!

We didn't make it out to Trick Or Treat for Eileen's first Halloween... she decided she was hungry at the prime Trick or Treat hour.. and there is no arguing with this child when she wants to eat. By the time she was done, it was raining. Oh Well. She's not even 6 weeks old yet, so I'm betting she won't notice she missed it.

In the year or so we've been in this house, the number of kids on our street has doubled. We had lots of little ones at the door - too cute. I am amazed they actually come UP to the door- Gracie barked like a maniac at everone who came within 15 feet of th house.

Despite the increased number of goblins, we still had loads of candy left. I promptly sent Josh to work with it this morning (OK, I did pull out one last Mini Twix for me). I am working so hard to shed the baby weight, the last thing I need is all that chocolate calling my name all day! 

Around Town..

It's like summer here today. Ok, not THAT warm, but at least its in the 70s. A nice treat before it gets chilly again this weekend.

Pretty quiet weekend here.. LOVED that extra hour of sleep we got on Saturday night. I do need to learn to start Tivo-ing the Night Games. I fell asleep at 9pm on Saturday, missing most of the Beating of Spurrier. On the plus side, I am awake early enough on Sunday mornings these days to catch the college ball highlight show on ESPN at 7am.

We went to Kroger and Babies R Us and Tar-jay. Oh, and we went back to church for the first time since Eileen was born. She was great, slept the whole time. Maybe she liked all the music and singing.

We sat in the back where all the other People With Children sit. Normally, we sit right up front so Josh can see everything. I used to hate it, but now I like it and I certainly pay more attention. Well, the back of the church is quite chaotic. We're hoping Eileen's good behavior holds so we can return to the front (but I'll make sure we're on the aisle in case I need to make a fast getaway!)

Not too much else to tell. She'll be 6 weeks old this Thursday, I can't believe that much time has passed. Not sure how much she weighs, I'm guessing at LEAST 11lbs. And as you can see, it doesn't appear she will be vertically challenged!
