10 Things

The thing I've learned today: Don't read your friends' blogs before posting your own. When you find out someone else had a similar idea to yours for "Friday's 10", then you feel like maybe you shouldn't still do it. I said maybe. I'm not creative enough to figure out a new idea at this late time of day. So, similar to Jamie, here are my ten favorite things about October.

• My oldest son's birthday.
• Finding costumes for my kids.
• One month until Thanksgiving.
• Even better, only two months until Christmas.
• We are finally back in a comfortable routine. I like a little routine in my life.
• And also like my above mentioned friend, it's birthday kickoff season for all the guys in my family.
• I have no idea why, but it's usually one of my best months for dieting.
• We can usually squeeze in one more trip to the lake.
• The wheat gets planted. No more farming until June.
• Bedtime is easier because it is darker earlier.

Happy Weekend!
