Taking the Scenic Route

I wish my kids were old enough to use them as an excuse to go to the Little House on the Prairie event at a (somewhat) local arboretum.  It looks like soooo much fun, but I am pretty sure the kids wouldn’t really get it.  Maybe I will do it anyway.  lol. 

We have the sickies in our house.  Nothing serious, just annoying.  Zane zonked out at 6pm and is still asleep.  I am really hoping this doesn’t do a number on his sleep schedule, but he needs sleep to heal, so I am just letting it go at this point.  Zora finally slept about 4 hours this afternoon, which isn’t like her either.  Both of them are cranky and snotty, but I am glad it is just normal cold stuff and nothing alarming.

I was quite annoyed yesterday when I went out shopping to get a ‘leaf’ cookie cutter to make cookies for Zane’s preschool Thanksgiving feast.  I went to two stores, and both of them had all their Christmas stuff out, but no Fall themed stuff.  No sprinkles, no cutters, no little decorations…nothing!  And, to add insult to injury, while I was shopping, I noticed the music was all Christmas music.  You have GOT to be kidding me!  I could understand it more if we were in Canada, but here we actually have another fall holiday between Halloween and Christmas, do we have to shop for Thanksgiving BEFORE Halloween now to make sure we can still purchase fallish things?  Ridiculous!  Which means I have to go out tomorrow to try and find the cookie cutters I want in between Zach’s classes, which puts me on a time crunch.  I hope I can find some.
