Fall is here

As I look over our blog, I see huge chunks of time missing. The picture says it all, E is younger than Sid in that pic, who wasn't even around. Somedays, with all that is going on, I feel like I can barely keep everyone's life straight let alone organize my thoughts. But as I was thinking last night, laying in bed waiting for my companions to pass out so I could head downstairs to watch Glee, I was thinking I need to start organizing my thoughts again and writing down memories. Cause they do grow so fast.
So it's the week of Halloween, which is not much different than other weeks for us. Mo constantly lives in a world of pretend, whether it be some kind of animal or role, so Halloween for him is the ultimate holiday. I wonder if his enchantment with it will continue as he gets older. I remember when I was a kid, I spent a lot of time in a world-of-make-believe, imagining games and sometimes, his personality is such a reflection of me it's scary.
Last night as we were carving the last of the pumpkins, it was a great metaphor for their personalities. Mo flat out refused to experience the "gook" of the pumpkin, but Evie rolled up her sleeves and dived right in. That pretty much summarizes how they approach life (although, her attitude rapidly changed when we turned off the lights to see the glow.)
