Fall Fun...

These days the questions are... DOES THIS FIT??? Does it fit in the washing machine?; Does it fit on my foot?; Does it fit Milby? And most importantly... Does it fit me? and CAN I HELP???
From putting the train in the wash, anyone's shoes on his feet, to stringing paper towels across the house while helping mommy clean, Hayden is most certainly "Monkey See, Monkey Do" these days. He wants to do everything himself and try everything you are doing, but mostly just wants to help!!! And his compassionate side is coming out as well, while Milby was quite sick, Hayden would sit down beside him and just pet him and talk quietly to him... for someone who doesn't cry much, I was close!!! These are some of the funnest days I have had in my life!!! What a joy!

2015 Elmwood Blvd.

Another road trip took Hayden and I to Dallas for a weekend, to see Auntie, attend a wedding and a chance to see SuSu, Laney and Landry... fun was had by all. But, I will say the day before we left Hayden could not stay out of our suitcase, I think he was imagining the worst... that mommy might leave without him. (Not a chance in the world!)
The weather was beautiful, so H got a chance to run around in diaper and t-shirt (doesn't happen much), roam Auntie's yard and eat lots of yummy food. (I had to tell myself over and over that we were on vacation)... BG's is good at being a grandmother!
And, we had one night in a hotel (little challenging) and our first encounter with a shower that was not enclosed... so Hayden threw every toy we had in the bathroom into the shower with mommy, including toilet paper! He was DRENCHED by the time I was finished... I had to laugh.

Pumpkins, Mummys and Zebras (cute zebras at that)... OH MY!!!

These are honestly the times that make the bad days disappear... fussy times, gone; runny noses, gone; sleepless nights, gone; colic, (well, sort of gone)! These are the moments that you dream of, when they are so darn adorable, you can't believe they came from you; when you tear up because they want to walk off on their own (yes, down the street toward a bonFIRE, in a zebra costume), and when you laugh out loud because your proud for the first time that they are picking up candy from a bucket and putting it into another! I had more fun on this night with Hayden maybe more than any other! Something about stripes and smiles... he melted my heart. And, he had a blast! I know I'm biased, but isn't he the cutest thing you've ever seen?!

Pumpkin pick'n and carv'n fun!!!

There's nothing like picking your pumpkin on a super fall day... then getting to carve it the next morning in your PJs!!! Hayden thought it was super cool to walk around in the pine straw (which he is quite used to here in GA in our backyard)... but to look at and touch all of the pretty pumkins was over the top!
We carved them the next morning in our PJS... too fun. Then, put them on the front porch, which we had to go inspect later in the day. Fun!!!
