Now I’m afraid to post anything for fear that I’ll run out of things to say in November and wish I could talk about stuff that happened in October. Seriously, what if NOTHING HAPPENS in the month of November? It’s possible, you know. I might have to ask for shoe advice again. Or talk about my laundry.

Let’s all just hope lots of things happen, okay? Okay then!

New topic. Anybody know how to get flour paste off of kids? Hosing them off did NOT work. I can’t quite remember why I gave them mixing bowls full of flour and water to begin with. And there is no fathoming why I didn’t intervene when they began plastering their bodies with the stuff. I do remember thinking, eh, I’ll just toss them in the shower when they’re done. And I did. Yet hardened flour paste clings to their arms and clumps in their hair. Because apparently the starch in the flour-starch-water mixture is actually quick-drying cement. Shower time again soon!

I did sit down to tell you all about this last night, by the way, but Dane stuck his head in the room just then to tell me we needed to throw in some laundry before the pile of dirty clothes started throwing punches. Huh. Well, if the man was going to get beat up by old towels and boxer shorts, I was not gonna miss that kinda action, so I watched him do laundry instead of blogging. Alas, there was no laundry violence of any sort. Everything’s clean. None of it will ever get put away. And hey, this post turned into yet ANOTHER laundry anecdote! It’s not even November yet! Help me.
