I have spent the last few days neglecting the kids and the house because I just could not put down the book Gone With the Wind. I decided that I needed to be a good mom and get the book done. Thus, I powered through yesterday. I need to vent a little bit about the book. If you have not read it and are going to, don't read on, because I will spoil the ending. I am completely upset by the ending. Now that I think about it, the ending makes sense and is probably true to how the characters would act in real life. I just live in my own little dream world where I love for things to work out in the end. I was really upset by the fact that Scarlett realized that Rhett was the one for her, and it was too late. Rhett was just tired of waiting and was done. It was disturbing to me. This a definitely not a book to read while your husband is deployed!
On a happier note, last week we went to the pumpkin patch with some good friends of ours. We let the kids pick out pumpkins, play on the rocks and play in the corn maze. It is not the same as picking a pumpkin out at the pumpkin patch back home, but it was a lot of fun. The kids really enjoyed it.
It is definitely fall here. We woke up this morning, and the windows on the car were frozen. I know that the cold weather is coming, and I am just not sure if I am ready for it!
