October

Well October is here and I am yet again wondering where the last month went!  Time is flying by so fast!
We are keeping busy here in Bucharest.  I have volunteered to lead Lilys girl scout troop, so that will be fun :)  This last week our family has been hit with the stomach bug, one at a time, so that is keeping me busy.  Last weekend we spent a lovely weekend walking around a lake in the middle of town.  It was a longer walk than we thought it would be!  We had a late lunch at one of the largest (if not largest) beer halls in Europe.  Great beer and brats!  The kids did really well scooting around the lake, and B either walked, scooted or rode on our shoulders.  She is a little trooper, who has decided not to like her stroller anymore.  We fight every morning, she wants to walk to school, and I want her in the stroller-more control that way!  She will win soon, as the road we have to cross is very busy, and it is safer to take the bridge over the road than to cross it.
Fall is in the air here in Romania, the mornings are cold and the leaves are just starting to change here in Bucharest.  The afternoons can still be nice, depending on the sun.  Kids are still outside after school so that is nice.  I have a feeling it won't be long before they are in most of the time-at least until winter and the snow comes!  I am really looking forward to the season changing this year.  I love summer and the heat, but I think after a good summer it is really nice to feel the chill in the air.  I will see what I think about that in winter, but for now I am optimistic.
We are planning a trip up to Brasov in a few weeks, this is close to Castle Bran, otherwise known as draculas castle.  The leaves should be colorful there by now, and it will be a nice little break for us.  I am looking forward to it, and to seeing my first romanian castle!
