Apple Madness

Emily and I went to an apple orchard today. I am going to make myself sick on apple pie. That is a promise.

This place was awesome, even had some sheep and piggies. I happened to catch on video two of the funniest things Molly has ever said. We were looking at a horse, who was eating weeds on the ground. Just as I started filming, she said, "He's eating dirrrrrt. Ick." I know it doesn't really sound funny, but try to hear it in Molly's voice. Then a few minutes later we were looking at the pigs, who were making snorting sounds. Just as I resume filming she said, "I think the pigs are farrrting."
I said, "I think they're just snorting".
She said, "They are growling like the hippopotomuses?"

Lauren just asked me about Santa again. Every time I'm about ready to just tell her the truth, she freaks out and starts yelling, "No, don't tell me! I don't want to know yet!" What a freak.

I've been having a kind of nostalgic day. I haven't stopped thinking about what was going on a year ago. I had Kate. But it was more than that. I had her in my shower. God, I can't believe she's already a year old. :(

On that note, I'm going to drink a bottle of wine and make a pie.

Paaaahtaaay!

So it's official. We've got a place to hold the 5th Annual Pumpkin Ball. Since it's a public blog, I won't be listing times and places here, but lemme know if you're interested in attending. It will be on Oct. 24th. We (Amy and I) are working on an evite, so send email addresses this way for friends you would like invited.
Now I have to find a costume. This is the harsh reality of the FIFTH year of dressing up in increasingly cool costumes. I'm completely out of ideas. Anyone have any for me? Or Josh while we're at it?
Today is Kate's first birthday party. I'm having a nervous breakdown. She can't be one already. She just can't. After Wednesday (her real b-day) I will never again have a baby. It makes me unbelievably sad. I'm not saying I want more, don't worry. I just want this to last a little longer... Maybe that's why I'm still nursing her.
I have to admit, I'm really looking forward to seeing Kate shove cake in her face tonight though.
Well, I better get this house clean (again) and then get the hell out while we wait for the party. You can't actually KEEP a house clean with 3 kids. It's literally impossible. They destroy faster than I can clean.

Newsflash!!!

I suppose it's time for an update. I always wait too long to blog and then feel like I have nothing really important to say. Well here goes:
School is back in session, thank God. I was seriously looking into running away. When you're young, Summer isn't long enough. Trust me, when you're the mom of 3 kids, Summer is WAY too long. I enjoy my kids, but not 24/7. And I could say the same for their feelings for me.
I got a tattoo!! Josh gave me the number of a tattoo artist and permission to spend the money to get what I wanted. I worked with the artist to design a gaggle of geese for my back. This is of course to represent my three geese(Lauren, Hayden and Kate). It turned out awesome and I'm definitely addicted to ink.
Kate is going to be 1 in two weeks and I'm getting kind of sad. I'm happy that she's getting a little more independent, but I'm bumming that I will never have another baby living in my house again. It all just happens too fast.
Both mine and Josh's 10 year reunions are coming up. Josh has decided not to go to his, much to my dismay. He doesn't think anyone worth seeing will be there, so I have to trust him on this. He is all for crashing the after party, wherever that might be though, so maybe we'll do that. I'm definitely going to mine. Even if none of my friends go, (they better) I think it will be kind of fun. I never want to regret not doing something like this. I didn't go to prom and I really regret that. I know, not the same, but still...
Time to make dinner, better figure that out. I'll try to post some tat pics soon.
