briefly -

1. new bedroom is going great. except that the school bus stopping across the street wakes Evyn at 7:47 every morning. which isn't so early, I guess, but we're so used to her sleeping until 8:30 - 9:00!
2. got the estimate from the second builder. $9k more than the first guy. but the first guy didn't give an itemized allowance list. pretty sure we're going to hire the first guy, if he can supply some more details and tweak the plan for us.
3. Evyn has croup. she's doing well but every time I hear her hoarse little cough it sounds so awful I want to cry.
4. 60 degrees here today! we got outside, did some raking, fed the birds, Evyn got muddy. fun!
5. Christmas party season starts this Saturday! we have two events to attend that day. and we haven't even started our cards yet!
6. no photos, sorry. here is one of Evyn's computer drawings, just to pretty up this post :)
