my boyfriend

charlie and olivia take turns spending the night with me on a friday night. i pick him/her up after work on friday, we do something(s) fun together that evening and we do something(s) fun together the next morning. then lunch, and then back home. it's a nice, quiet time for just the two of us - to bond, to get to know each other better, and just to hang and have fun. i have come to relish these times together - and i plan to extend it to each of the triplets, too.........as soon as i get the energy.   :)

this past friday was charlie's turn and we went to the pumpkin patch. there's a pumpkin patch about 10 miles from their house which is THEE best pumpkin patch in the whole u.s. of a. if we hadn't been so busy having fun, i would have taken pictures. sorry. use your imagination. (imagination? what's that? is that anything like playing outside till it gets dark? i've heard of such things.......)

after the pumpkin patch, we got dinner. or, what passes for dinner if you're 4-years old........"cheesy roll-ups" from taco bell. (they really aren't half-bad. well, yeah they are.)  :)

then bath, then t.v., then candy, then candy, then popcorn, then candy.

then bed. with the new halloween night light he got at the pumpkin patch.


the next day, we had pancakes on a stick (true story), dunked in syrup (really true story). then target for a treat or two, then the library, then mcdonald's, then home. happy, satisfied, and a little fatter.


and a lot more in love.
