Manic Monday

How can Monday be over already? The weekend just flew by. This is the time to be in Houston. The weather has been downright gorgeous. You just want to spend every minute outside.

This weekend, we went to a pumkin patch. Little one pet the goat and horse but did not want to take the horsey ride. (I can't remember when I fell in love with horses but do know that once I did, you could not keep me away from them. Spent many an evening sitting backward on my horse with my text book resting on his butt. Ahh...the good times.) For now, little one will ride the play horse in the park.

Time is going swiftly by and Halloween will be upon us soon. We have yet to decide on a costume for little one. Last year, she was a watermelon (it was an outfit that someone had given us). As no one has given us one this year, we have to find something!! That will be my mission for this coming weekend.

Little one had an early night tonight. We went on our usual walk around the block this evening. She had a snack. We played..."you can't get me"...where she chases me around until I stop, then she runs into my arms nd grabs me. (Of course, it is mutual "grabbing" which could be deemed as a whole body hug. Nothing better than the little one in my arms with her arms wrapped around my neck.) Then, she said "go to bed" and ran to her bed. She wanted to just get in...no diaper change or pajamas. When I put her on the changing table, she actually cried and said "bed, bed." After a quick change of diaper and clothes and a short rock in the chair, I put her down and she was gone. This was 7:30!!

Have not scrapped since we came back from the scrapping convention. Have to get back to that. Seems like little one is changing every day (for example, she learned to blink this week). Need to preserve these special moments!

Have a great week!
