Birthday week!
That's what we celebrate around here, although it has expanded to two weeks over the years. Damaris kicks things off on October 16. She was born JUST young enough for me to still officially be a teen-aged mother. I was born on the 18th, as you already know since I went on and on about it on Tuesday.
Tomorrow we will be huzzahing from morn till night because it is Caro's BD. Mike and I have already procured the traditional vegetable orbs (don't TELL, okay???), and I am also working on a more practical gift, clearing up a big huge area of Stuff that has been waiting its turn to be sorted for...well, a while. It is quite interesting, going down through the epochal layers. Plus, useful stuff turns up. Like, last week we broke down and bought some new flashlights because we hadn't been able to find a single one when we needed it. So naturally you would not be surprised to hear I have already found FOUR flashlights and several of those round clicky-light thingies. We will be well set up for light if we should get any blizzard-related power outages this winter!
The latter half of Double birthday week celebrates the birth of Super-duper Son-in-law Nigel on the 27th, and then we round it off with Michael Day on November 1, which is our annual family celebration of the day we officially adopted the boy of our hearts.
Oh, yeah, and Halloween comes just before Michael Day. Very holiday enriched, we are!
