I heard you knockin'........

but you couldn't come in......





The door is now open...

And, so is the window into the full nested weekend in Judiland.....

It's hard to believe what makes me happy....
The things that drove me crazy for years are now the things that make me smile....
Yes, shoes and socks and clothes on the living room floor......


We started off with the important stuff.........The Promise: The Making of Darkness on the Edge of Town!
This is what we call good parenting!

(Bruce and I!!!)

Then, after we all got sufficiently rocked, we got a little creative.....

(My version of a girls night out!!!)

(Our house decorated for Halloween)

After that, we did the "apple a day" stuff....

(Toni loving the apples)

Then we did the fun stuff....

(My little nephew Jared enjoying the farm with Vince and Toni)
I apologize for the suggestiveness of the picture....
as far as I know, it was not intended to be that way......
but, of course, I can't say for sure....
I'll have to ask the participants next time I see them!!!!

(Toni and I getting our Starbucks on at the pumpkin patch!)

(A city girl at the farm!)

And, then, after all of that and quite a bit more, I fell into bed....for a well-deserved rest.
Parenting is hard work.......
