They win again. It's 11 p.m. and I am beat - they're wearing me out! I fell asleep with Nora as I put her to bed tonight, but got up to shut off the downstairs lights, balance the checkbook, and post a little on the blog, and then I'm going to crawl back into bed. It wasn't a bad day - it just seemed like it went on forever. Caroline is sick and/or teething, so she is stuffed up, running a slight fever, drooling like crazy, not eating much of anything, and pretty miserable. Nora's been skipping her naps, which means long afternoons for me (but earlier bedtimes). I've started putting in a movie for her to watch in the mid-afternoon, in the hopes that she will eventually snooze a little. It worked today -- she fell asleep on the couch at around 3 (in her Cinderella dress...the fourth day in a row she's asked to wear it) and napped until 4, which is when Taylor came over to play the new game "Hullabaloo" that we got from the Dubas (which Nora LOVES!). Caroline cried for about an hour before falling asleep tonight, and Nora refused to go to bed until 9. There was a silver lining in the evening, though...we watched the Daddy DVD again and halfway through, Nora went up to the screen and "hugged" Daddy, saying "I love you." I made her do it again so I could get a picture. 
The weather is really starting to turn now...very cold and overcast. Nevertheless, the red impatiens on our front steps (that I put out back in May or June) are still alive and the camelia tree is in bloom. I guess I won't start to believe that winter is coming until they go. I'm excited about Aunt Nancy's visit this weekend and our upcoming trip to FL for Thanksgiving!
