Since I posted last time, I have finished my manuscript. It was September 30th, and even though I had to stay until 3 AM, I made myself write, and I finished on the deadline I had set myself.
I’m working hard on edits now. OK, maybe not as hard as I should, but I’m revising my first chapters, and I’m loving it.
I can’t believe it’s the end of October already. We’ve had some very cold weather already, but mostly sunny ones, and I love to see my kids playing with the leaves outside. When they run back inside, their little hands are so cold they look purple.
Last week the kids had Fall break, and we went to soccer parties, a pirate place, a pumpkin patch and a maze. We had an Argentine asado with friends we hadn’t seen for years. Our kids played together, speaking a mixture of English and Spanish, kicking a soccer ball all over the place.
Having Jeff at home turns my world upside down. Our mornings are lazy, and our evenings a whirlwind of activities.

Since my October has been so relaxed (blog-wise) I know I’ll make up for it in November. Both Gorgeous Boy and I are participating in NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month). His goal is to write between 3,000 to 6,000 words. That’s a lot of words for an 8 year-old, but he’s determined to do it. Get this: he’s even writing an outline to be prepared come November 1st.

My little cubs are calling for my attention. The sky is blue, but the the air reminds me we’re in Autumn. My favorite time of the year.
