1. Still have not managed to get my carpets cleaned.
2. Is hunting season over yet?
3. While at my Mom's house last Sunday Madi commented that she thought Lilly's bottom tooth was coming through. Sure enough, Monday evening when I checked again I found that her bottom left tooth had broken through. Wednesday night I realized that one of her top teeth had also broken through. Poor thing. I can only imagine how painful that must be, and to be honest, she has been a champ.
4. Can't believe that first term is almost over.
5. Lilly has reached the "stranger danger" stage.
6. So excited for another nephew. Cohen is going to have a baby brother in April.
7. Pat threw a great Halloween party on Tuesday night. The kids looked so cute in their costumes. A decent photo with all three of them turned out to be impossible.
8. I'm so sad I'll be missing the annual "deer hunt" breakfast at Little America this Sunday. Somehow we managed to plan the primary program on the weekend of the deer hunt.
9. I love watching Olivia interact with Lilly. She just loves her and lights up every time she sees her. She continually asks to babysit and is always "protecting" her from Will.
10. Spent a great afternoon yesterday at Gardner's Village with Lilly, Meg and kids.

The Run-down

1. Working is hard. Being a mom is hard. Being a working mom is quadruply hard.
2. Lilly is sitting up, but gets a little tipsy if she leans to the sides.
3. I'm so lucky that while I'm working Lilly is happy, safe and loved at Meg's house.
4. I've been thinking for the last little while about dying my hair red. You know, like auburn red (not brownish maroon). I've been feeling really mommy-ish and have decided I need a big change. The only thing stopping me is the thought of the upkeep.
5. Lilly is a smart one. She has realized that there is no need to take a bottle during the day while I'm at work because she can just keep me up all night to nurse her.
6. I made some really cute candy corn cupcakes today. I love Halloween.
7. Lilly is going to be a witch for Halloween. Grandma Pat bought her an adorable orange and black costume and I can't wait to put her in it.
8. No teeth yet for Lilly and her eye color is still undetermined.
9. Gub is busy as ever with work, baseball, and more baseball.
10. My carpets need to be cleaned SO bad! That's going to be top priority this week. I wish I could afford to replace the carpet in my house with hardwood floors... maybe some day.
