Can you tell I’ve lost my ability to be creative with titles? While Fall is fantastic, I’m just drawing blanks coming up with a personality to write about our lives. And that is the honest truth. I read through my old blogs and I believe I used to be funnier. Maybe it was due to the kids being little and super cute and giving me some die of cuteness moments or because when I was in school I was reading about really interesting ideas and having really interesting thoughts about those ideas. I’m definitely in a writing rut. I’m definitely in a few different types of ruts. Maybe I should get creatively exaggerating about it all. I wonder if anyone would notice. Actually no one is really even reading these lately, since I stopped sending out the Blupdate notices a year ago. But I am printing it so maybe someday someone will actually read it? hmmm now I’m just typing in stream of conscience.
Sept 28, The twins went to homecoming. This year Ari went with TT’s friend Caden. They’ve all known each other since they were two years old. Lelu and Caden’s sister Morgan were best-friends and often dressed them up for pretend weddings. It was their dream to have them go to some kind of an ‘event’ together. Lelu also did Ari and Kenna’s makeup and Kenna’s hair for the dance. Lelu misses going to the dances. She loved getting all dressed up and wearing cool new dresses. This is her way of living vicariously through them. I know when (not if) Master D goes to award shows in his career, Lelu will be the first one to sign up to go along. For their day date, TT came up with a super fun activity making breakfast and painting with Bob Ross. I thought they all did amazingly well.
Their childhood kind-of dream come true
Aren’t they all just completely adorable teenagers??
Now a little fall puppy update – I have never let a dog sleep on my bed, but Cinco is special. He really is. He loves me the most and that makes me love him the most too.
Archie is thriving in Portland, aside from a few little sleep over mishaps with her sister Goldie. Aub is quite the puppy mom. Archie is definitely the sweetest and best behaved of the puppies. She loves doggie day care and ‘playing’ with Aub’s cat Tina, who barely tolerates her. She’s just a very happy dog. I keep telling people this, but I’m putting it in for my posterity. If reincarnation is real, I thought I’d want to come back as a rock star, but I’m changing it to coming back as a dog in Portland. The dogs there are treated better than most humans. ……..And truly give me a break for my dog focus – I don’t have any grandchildren yet.
Cinco also LOVES chewing up toilet paper and papers towels and loves his mom.
A fantastic fall sky. The leaves just hadn’t started to change yet.
The basement that Lelu and Jake live in had no kitchen. They were using the upstairs kitchen until our Bishops house burned down and we rented the upstairs to them while they rebuilt their house. So we put a little kitchen in the basement and let Lelu design it. She’s got an aesthetic knack for sure.
