I have had the hardest time this week waking up, and I'm getting tired much sooner at night. No, I'm not pregnant, although that's what Cory jokingly suggested. I think it's the change in weather, just adjusting to cooler temps, night arriving sooner, etc. Or I'm getting sick. I really hope not, though. On a somewhat related subject, I really need to take a shower. I was going to attempt to get one in tonight, but Ella failed to stay asleep when I put her down (I just had to straighten a bedsheet, didn't I!).

Let's see. This morning Cole had his picture taken at the Wal-Mart portrait studio. Yeah, we go the cheapie route. Accalia and Cole both love getting their pictures taken there. Cole was very specific about what he wanted for his picture. He wanted to wear all blue, so he picked out a pair of jeans and his blue dinosaur shirt. Then he wanted to have the flag background so he could look like a president. After the picture taking, we looked around at the Halloween costumes and decorations then picked up exactly three grocery items and headed home for lunch.

Later in the afternoon, after Ella's nap, we went to the library. Cole decided he wants to go to storytime this fall, which really surprised me. So we went and signed him up and then got him his own library card. I think age 3 is when our library starts handing out cards, but Cole has absolutely refused to have one before this. I have no idea why, but he's always protested this.

I'm really looking forward to this weekend. We don't have anything huge going on, but it just feels as if it'll be really good. Accalia has a soccer game on Saturday, but that's it for the planned activities. Cory wants to get a lot done around the house and in the yard. We're planning another family movie night - Accalia wants to watch Men in Black. I really need to finish up writing thank you's from Cole's birthday and take care of LLL related paperwork.

I think tomorrow's supposed to be pretty cool and possibly rainy. Sounds like a perfect day to stay inside and watch Pink Panther dvds (the kids' current interest through Netflix).
