October Happenings

Conference weekend was a couple of weeks ago.  I had many favorite talks and I've been listening to them again.  I was reminded of so many important gospel principles and was inspired to do and be better.  In the morning Sammie said sort of wishfully to me, "Mom, pancakes would be really good for breakfast."  Our breakfasts are usually just bagels, toast, cereal, and sometimes I will make eggs.  We usually have pancakes and french toast for dinners when I have more time.  So on that morning I decided to shock everyone and make the pancakes Sammie was wishing for, but didn't think I had any energy to pull off.  They were enjoyed.  It feels good to do these little things that I really used to take for granted.
October is one of my favorite months.  It is finally starting to cool down now that it is over half-way through.  I think we may still have a few warm days ahead, but the days are shorter and the nights are cooler.  When we are in the middle of September everyone is tired of the heat.  The good thing about it though is that it is just hot.  You know what to expect every day.  Shorts, tshirts, sandals.  Now that we have cooler mornings it seems that we never know how to get dressed.
The girls are looking forward to Halloween and the changing weather.  The Holiday season is just around the corner.  I even asked the girls to start making their Christmas lists.  This will be a wonderful season.
