What, me update?
I haven't updated lately mainly because I've had a tension headache since last Wednesday that just won't quit, so my eyes aren't particularly fond of the computer screen. Other than that, things have been great around here. Henry's in full-on Halloween mode and talks about it non-stop, Holly's busy doing her eat-sleep-poop thing, Dave hasn't been getting enough sleep, and I've been making pumpkin pies, birthday cakes, and these totally awesome pumpkin squares (also good with walnuts) because it keeps me sane and happy.
Saturday was one of those days that other days wish they could live up to. After getting Holly down for her mid-morning nap, Henry and I headed out into the wilds of the 'burg to burn off some of the Cocoa Puff's-induced energy that was coursing through a certain someone's four-year-old body. We spent about an hour and a half playing at the park with some friends we had the good fortune to run into, then we headed to the shopping district to first stop by the bank, and second stop by the toy shop, which, if your a kid, is definitely the ideal order for those two events to take place in. After a quick stop at the yarn shop, we headed for home and lunch. Since the weather was absolutely gorgeous, we decided to head out to the University's football game, the first one we've been to this season. (We really wanted to go last week because the Hawthorne Caballeros Alumni Corps was playing a pre-game and half-time show, but the timing didn't work out and the weather was lousy. We'll just have to wait until next year's Cavalcade of Champions to see them again. *sob*) A lot of popcorn and ice cream was consumed while we watched our team actually win. We stumbled home bleary-eyed but happy. After that, Dave grilled, we ate, got the kids in bed early, then we settled down on the couch with a DVD of The Big Bang Theory.
It was really nice to just go with the flow as opposed to rushing around, trying to get through a whole list of activities/chores. So nice, in fact, we did it again on Sunday. We need to make sure that we have more days like that. It's too easy to get mired down in trying to do things you think you need to do.

Thanks for the post. I've been checking for an update! :) We had a 'go with the flow' kind of weekend. And I'm still flowing today... Pumpkin squares are totally yummy. Maybe we can get together again?

Sounds like a beautiful weekend.
I will make those pumpkin squares. You pick good recipes. I also want to make pumpkin fudge.
Have you tried four advil for your headache? I had four day headache and the condescending emergency room doctor told me to take four with food. It worked. For me.
