Okay, I'm barely squeaking in under the wire of October (my goal being to post at least one blog per month.) But in my own defense I've been incredibly busy. Not only am I working full-time, raising three kids and trying to get healthy and lose weight--all on a daily basis--but I am also busy with other things. I'm starting to work on my Master's Degree, anxiously awaiting the outcome of next week's election, not only so that all this political junk can be over with, but also because my school district has a levy on the ballot, which if it fails I have to figure out what direction I'll be taking next because my position will be eliminated, plus I'm on a district-level committee that is going to involve a lot of research and monthly meetings. Oh, and of course there's my recent addiction to Facebook. "Are you insane?" you say. Not totally. At least I'm not bored! Although my sciatic nerve isn't too happy about all the stress.
Well, enough updates about me, how about my gorgeous boys? Here are some pics from the recent weeks. Liam and Ben are both loving school and becoming smarter by the minute. Nick is sleeping, eating, and growing. He's on the verge of crawling, I can tell. He rolls all over and will occasionally scrunch his knees up under himself. Bring on the baby gates! And Kevin? He's enjoy the uninterrupted work time that Nick's sleeping schedule allows him to work on his many projects. And in between all that watching movies and writing reviews, writing some book proposals, and cooking some delicious family meals. What more could a girl ask for?
AN AFTERNOON OF HIKING AT GENEVA HILLS
The whole family takes a moment to rest at the base of Needle Rock, which Daddy, Liam and Ben climbed while Mommy and Nick watched from below.

(Yes, that's Ben's slightly frightened face. But he got over it.)
Walking through the Woods
What a beautiful fall day!
PUMPKIN HUNTING AT KUHLWEIN'S FARMS
Liam, Ben, Nick and Daddy on the hay wagon ready to head to the pumpkin patch to pick our own pumpkins.
Ben found his pumpkin.
Liam's happy with his choice.
Even Nicholas got a pumpkin of his very own.
CARVING PUMPKINS
Liam and Ben scoop out the pumpkin 'guts.'
Daddy does the actually carving (from the boys' own drawings.)

TRICK-OR-TREAT AT GRAMMY'S HOUSE
Nicholas with Great-Grammy before trick-or-treating
The boys all dressed up and ready to go.
Liam is "Indiana Jones", Ben is "Ben 10", and Nick is "Superman"
Liam's bold and brave "Indiana Jones"
Ben's alien fighting "Ben 10"
Nick as the 'classic' hero "Superman" (or "Superbaby" in this case)
