the calascione connection

things are finally back to normal since we got home from vacation. on sunday night russ got very ill and spent the entire night/morning hugging the toilet. i was so nervous that he had a virus or even the flu, i kept Lysol-ing everything i could think of. i couldn't imagine the kids catching something as bad as that with how pathetic *russ* looked. and if *i* got sick, well, i don't even want to think about how my never-ending TO-DO list would have to wait! russ missed work on monday but went back on tuesday, even though it rained and he couldn't do much. he's still feeling weak but seems to be doing fine. it must have been something he ate, although we could not pinpoint it to anything in particular.

natalie is loving being back at school. on monday morning she got very upset because she thought that since *daddy* was sick, that meant *she* would have to miss school! but she was fine once i explained things to her!

tomorrow, i'm taking russell back to storytime at the library, hoping that he will love it just as much as he did the first time!

and these are just a few things on my to-do list:

- take kids to see Toy Story at the movies (only playing for 2 wks!)
- hit the pumpkin patch at least once this week
- get my hair done
- continue planning the kids' halloween party :)


i LOVE october!
