"Life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans" -John Lennon

I know, I know I haven't posted anything on here in almost 2 months. Our lives have been completely nuts since the infamous Navratil family illness of Sept. 06. We had Zachary's belated birthday party...









then the big storm that knocked out our cable and internet for over a week...












then it was Jon's birthday...












then Halloween...


and in between all that we had visits to museums...


and The Wiggles concert...


and all sorts of other things that added up to Mommy never sitting down for more than a minute at a time.

Anyways, we are still here and gearing up for Zoe's 3rd birthday on the 26th! She wants it to be a "Dora the Explorer" theme. Dora drives me insane - for some reason, her voice sounds like nails on a chalkboard to me. But what the princess wants for her birthday, the princess will get... as always.

Here's one last photo of a rare moment of the kids playing together nicely, with no tears or screaming:
