Our kids are getting very excited for Halloween! Everyday they ask: "Is it Halloween yet?" We've gotten lots of Halloween books and spooky music from the library. It's been so fun! We even had a day when it was "chilly" - by Houston standards. Fall is definitely in the air :) Nothing beats fall in the Northeast, but nothing is more fun than Halloween with lots of excited kids!
In addition to listening to "Monster Mash" and "Purple People Eater" more times than I can count, I've also decided to start the Paleo Diet. Basically, it involves eating like a caveman. It includes any food that can be hunted or gathered. Lots of lean meats, seafood, vegetables, fruit, and nuts. No breads, grains, legumes, dairy, or added sugar. I've been reading a lot about the Paleo lifestyle and I am so interested in learning all about it and starting this new "journey". We'll see how it goes! I'll give it 30 days to decide if it's the right plan for me. It makes sense though; it's the way humans are supposed to eat!
Because of this new Paleo plan, I've definitely been cooking a lot more and spending lots of time in the kitchen. This is definitely not something I'm used to, but it's been a lot of fun. I have to plan my cooking times around the kids though, obviously, so naptime and after bedtime are both good times to experiment :)
Our kids have been doing awesome. Looking back to when I first started, they have grown and developed so well. First grade and pre-school have been going great for our two school-aged boys and the younger ones are definitely progressing. I look forward to seeing them grow even more! It's unclear how long they will be with us, but no matter what, I pray that God enables them to develop and mature into faithful, hard-working adults. Their future is in His hands.
"I have told you these things so that you would find comfort in Me. In
this world, you will suffer; but be courageous, for I have overcome the
world!" - John 16:33
