In other news, I'm moving. Although it is coming along nicely there is still so very much to do. Yesterday I moved the majority of my kitchen. I've found the temporary or permanent place for my dishes. Because, here's the thing. I'm not sure how this kitchen will work. Were would the best place to be for the everyday things like cups, dishes, silver, towels etc to be? I wont really know until we're all moved in and actually living with the stuff we need. I'm not very good at moving. I have to get some sort of handle on it because we'll be having Thanksgiving at my house. It'll be a hoot. I'll keep you apprised of the hilarity.
After I said it I realized how ungrateful I am. This being the month of thanks I am reminded of my tradition to list those things I am thankful for.

I am thankful and blessed to have this beautiful home to move into. I will have 2 of my boys with me and I've missed living with them so much. And Frank is coming to live with us and that is an awesome thing too!

Good luck on the move. Moving is rarely fun, and even less so when you are not terribly in love with the house you are moving into...
The pumpkins sound wonderful.
