The biggest news here is that Greenville, Ohio's very own JENNIFER REIFSNIDER came for a visit a few weekends ago!! Yes folks, it's true. My mommy came to see me, and it was wonderful! We had a great time, even though it was very short.
Moving on to other news, I went to Boston with my "family" a few weekends ago. My best friend Alie (a nanny from Australia) and my boyfriend Adam (what?!) and I left on a rainy Saturday morning for one of the most historic cities in the country. Alie and I had never been there before. Unfortunately, we visited Boston on the same day as Hurricane Noel. Hurrican Noel made Boston very cold, rainy and WINDY. I would show you documentation of this trip (and actual proof as to the exsistance of a boyfriend), but the weather was too depressing for pictures. The high point of the trip was teaching Alie to play Euchre, so she is now well exposed to the entertainment of the Midwest.
This just in, the color is still FABULOUS out here! Every day I see new trees ablaze with new hues of red and yellow. It has been the most beautiful fall that this reporter can ever remember viewing.
Moving on to more current events, my job is going well. I love my children and we have been getting along so nicely. They make me laugh every day. Harrison (4) is my youngest and he just doesn't know what to do with me. The other day, I bent down and pointed at my cheek and said "Lay one on me, Harrison!" He looked at me with a really confused look and then slapped me gently across the face. He had no idea that I meant for him to kiss me! He is also hooked on the Veggie Tales cd that I made for he and I to listen to in the car. We have dubbed ourselves the pirates who don't do anything. Stay tuned next time for more stories about the rest of the munchkins.
My (non-imaginary) boyfriend has been studying diligently for months for a very difficult exam that he will take on December first. That's why an outing to Boston was such an anomaly in our plans. Alie and I usually sit quietly (or not so quietly) watching movies or playing cards while he studies away about things that I can't even understand.
So....
I've never licked a sparkplug
and I've never sniffed a stink bug
and I've never painted daisies on a big red rubber ball
and I've never bathed in yogurt
and I don't look good in leggings.....
but now I've been to Boston in the fall!!!

The story about Harrison slapping you is hilarious - thanks for the laugh! I really enjoy reading your entries, Lauren; they're always entertaining and well-written. (FYI, we're also big fans of the pirates who don't do anything)
