Fall and Friendship

We have been keeping pretty busy these days. Julia is on the move and very much into everything. Right now she is putting diaper cream on my back, very thoughtful indeed.
She wants to do whatever her brother is doing.

Lucas is his usual self. He continues to be very outgoing and curious and full of words...some of them expletives....

I stayed home from work on Wednesday this week. Lucas was fully into albuterol and a cold so I wanted to be with him. Plus the day before one of my students tried to slug me. I kid not. I could go on and on at this point about how ridiculous it is to try to hit a teacher, and how sad and pitiful her life is, etc etc, but I'm not going to. I am on fall break for two weeks, and I refuse to spend an ounce of time thinking about any of my students other than the fabulous ones that keep me going.

We are in constant anticipation of Halloween around here. It is Lucas's favorite time of year and mine as well. He has costumes all planned for himself and Julia Louise (more diaper cream as I type).

She is all girl. She loves hats and pretty things and dancin' around. She is also a bruiser who will knock her brother out of her way if need be, which is probably a decent survival technique.
