Oh, Great Pumpkin, where are you?

1 November 2013 Emerson

As you can see, Emerson’s final costume decision landed on Lucinda the ‘Bad Witch’ (this is a ‘Sofia the First’ reference for those of you who aren’t Disney Jr. smart). She enjoyed a night of trickery and ate more than enough treats to last until next year. In honor of our annual viewing of ‘It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown,’ I’ve decided to narrate our Halloween photos using Peanuts quotes from our favorite fall cartoon… Linus: On Halloween night, the Great Pumpkin rises from his pumpkin patch and flies through the air with his bag of toys to all the children. Sally Brown: Do I get to go trick-or-treating with...

Fall 2.0

28 October 2013 Emerson, Outings

In the final weekend before Halloween, we squeezed in several fun activities and still made time for plenty of relaxation. Here’s our weekend review in reverse order. Emerson pretty much summed up our afternoon yesterday when she said, “My feet are schfeating (sweating)! I can’t believe I’m saying this… I am too hot outside!” It was the most beautiful day we’ve enjoyed outside for months it seems. We played until the sun went to bed, mostly gathering or raking leaves. E has been making these lovely leaf bouquets lately which are actually really pretty in their own rustic way. She also gathered a variety of leaves that fit into the...

Fall 1.0

9 October 2013 Emerson

Our fall season hasn’t gotten off to the greatest start, but we’re looking forward to a fun-filled, virus-expunged second half! You know you’ve got a sick 3-year-old on your hands when she finally opens her eyes at 9 am only to look around for a minute and go back to sleep. We’ve both been plagued by some lingering bronchitis the past several weeks along with some lovely episodes of cough until you gag or worse. Pretty gross for you to read, but really, poor us! We’re missing out on some warm and colorful fall days which are numbered according to the weather man. A few weekends ago, we did manage...

Life in the North Pole

25 October 2012 Emerson, Family, Outings

Fall-ing into a new routine: Emerson made herself right at home at Papa and Gaga’s house. She has no problem climbing every imaginable surface, emptying drawers, filling Cooper’s kennel with her books, and sneaking out of bed to set the table with paper plates. As usual, she’s very busy! She’s had a great transition into a new daycare and loves seeing her cousin, Jackson, every day at school! His awesome parents have invited me to share their BonFire Web Company office space which I couldn’t be more grateful for!  Earlier this week we had a play date with them at the pumpkin patch… so this is what it’s like to...
