Girls with spots

I was talking to the boy and I asked him if he had a girlfriend. It was a VERY quick and deffinite "No mom!" that I got as a reply. So then I asked him if he liked any girls. He said that he did. 2 to be exact. When he told me who they were I pointed out the he is mean to the first girl he mentioned. He said, "Oh. Maybe I don't like her then." I didn't mean to make him change his mind. Haha! And when I asked why he liked the second one he said, "Because I like girls with spots." I was confused and asked what that was. I got THE BIGGEST "duh mom!" look I have ever seen! But he explained, while wiggling his fingers in front of his face, "She has spots on her face."

I laughed. Spots indeed. But it fits. My kids are obsessed with them. Because they don't have any.
But in all reality- I am not ready for the children to start noticing. Not at all ready.

Get me out!

Sometimes the only thing that keeps you sane in a day is the thought of getting away from it all for a while.
That has been my day today.
And I will be leaving in about 40 minutes.

The MOST wonderful time of the year

I think I was born in the wrong season!
I was born in the summer.
I think I live in the wrong area!
I live in the Desert. Only 2 seasons- hot and cold.

I am an autumn girl through and through.
I don't own a Christmas Village.
I own a Fall Village.
THIS is my favorite time of year.

Halloween is over.
The weather is cooling off (oh so slightly)
I can start wearing sweaters again.
And Thanksgiving is just around the corner!

It's pure bliss!
I wish I didn't need to start thinking about Christmas already.
