Alone Time: Good or Not?

I had some alone time today, as my mom, older brother, and most of my younger siblings, left the house to run to town. I was home by myself with my two youngest brothers and, while they napped, I had some quiet alone time. Which, might not be the best thing. ;) I painted my nails, (haven't done that in ages) I watched something on Netflix, then the bat signal went out, waking up the little terrors  I mean... the sweet little angels, who are blessing sent from God above. ;D We had fun though. We watched Winnie the Pooh's Heffelump Halloween, ate pretzels and drank hot chocolate, then we had a pom pom war (we threw pom poms at each other) ;) and listened to Christmas music while I made pretzel rolls at the same time.

October's Party

    October gave a party;   The leaves by hundreds came-   The Chestnuts, Oaks and Maples,   And leaves of every name.   The sunshine spread a carpet,   And everything was grand,   Miss Weather led the dancing,   Professor Wind the band.   The Chestnuts came in yellow,   The Oaks in crimson dressed;   The lovely Misses Maple,   In scarlet looked their best;   All balanced to their partners,   And gaily fluttered by;   The sight was like a rainbow,   New fallen from the sky.    Then, in the rustic hollow,   At hide and seek they played,   The party closed at sundown,   And everybody stayed.   Professor Wind played louder;   They flew along the ground;   And then the party ended   In jolly "hands around" ~George Cooper                                 ...
