The Starman Family: If You Don't Vote, Don't Bitch

Crap. Here comes winter. Maybe? It's been so nice it's hard to remind yourself that before you know it it will be cold. Yuck. All the leaves are off the trees, the sprinkler system will be blown out this weekend for SURE and I better up my search for some decent size 10 boots for Rowan. But it is going to be so busy the next couple months, maybe I won't notice. Of course, Halloween on Friday, pretty sure one post will be dedicated to that topic. We took two grumpy girls to the pumpkin patch the weekend before last. Five pumpkins and $600 later, I'm still trying to figure out when exactly they will all get carved in the next 48 hours.

Then November and a week in Nebraska! Christmas will be here before I know it. We are making our first real Christmas dinner. Megan, Ryan and Mathisen will be here and my mom and the Bobcat! We have done Thanksgiving once but this is a Christmas first. I am pretty excited! Starman's can cook up some s***, I'll tell you what.

Last Monday, the girls and I went to the Children's Museum in Denver with my mom. What a cool place! They really liked it and I will definitely go back. We got there right pretty much when it opened and that was perfect. Then me and my "ladies" met an old friend of mine from high school for lunch. Since she was working. she was dressed very nice. When we got up to leave the restaurant, Rowan looked down at her high heels, (she definitely has never seen her mom in any!) and exclaimed "I love your shoes!" On the way home she asked me if she was a princess. I told her yes, yes she is. It was so nice to see my old friend again...

Starman is gone as usual... in Ridgeway, maybe there isn't an "e", can't remember. At least he got to drive through the beautiful town of my birth, Montrose, Colorado. He said the McCain-Obama people were out in full force on opposite sides of the main intersection in town, yelling, waving their signs. In Montrose??? Kinda surreal. I think he will be done traveling for awhile after this. We hope so.
