happy halloween

here's my favorite little sushi roll...unfortunately we won't be leaving the house today because he's been dealing with a little virus since last week.  it's almost gone but i'm just being extra careful.

 

hope everyone has a fun and safe day/night :)

Bookshelves

This past Saturday we were supposed to go camping with two of my closest friends and their families...but B came down with something late Friday and when he woke up Saturday morning, we knew it wouldn't be a good day for a road trip.  So we ended up staying home all day.  My little boy was very clingy and so mama couldn't do anything ALL day. 

 

Luckily for me, however, Daddy's hands were free.  And this is what he installed upstairs in B's room while my sick little baby and I were downstairs napping in the afternoon.  Needless to say, I was thrilled to see the shelves up...and B was quite excited himself.  Although the bottom picture may not reflect that,  I promise he really did like see all of his books :)

 

I Love Sushi

My friend from church made this costume for her daughter last year for our Fall Festival...and this year I get to let B wear it.

Clean Tennis Balls

At some point in my 30's I learned to always look at the cleaning instructions on clothing because I simply like wash and wear clothes. And I don't like dropping and picking up dry cleaning. Call me lazy. Whatever. I love those commercials about cotton clothes.

Anyways. I wore this little puffer vest for like the second time ever since I bought back in the late '90s (I'm sure).. And I thought it was pretty funny to read this care label. Really? Clean tennis balls??

Dewberry Farms 2012

Today we went out to Dewberry Farms in Brookshire, TX for some pumpkin patch fun. Luckily for us several others friends joined us and that place has made several upgrades since we were here last year. It was a relatively nice day but I was a bad momma and forgot to put sunscreen on my little baby. Hoping he doesn't wake up with bad sunburn tomorrow. Here are some pics from today.

This was a slide intended for bigger kids...but it was right next to where we had lunch so he pretty much INSISTED that we go down.  Contrary to my face...I didn't enjoy this ride.  It was bumpy and kinda hurt my bum.  Little dude geniunely enjoyed it though.  That's all that matters.

 

Bucket o' pumpkims. 

 

Me and cranky pants.  Hard to take pics when your 22 month old wants to be picked up a lot.  Oh my back.

 

 

Benjamin and his cousin Madison

 

This is the one that he really wanted to take home with him. 

 

The smaller pumpkins for sale under the tent were much prettier than the ones out on the field.

 

Benjamin and his buddy Elliot.  They were born one day apart.  Buddies ever since.

 

On the pumpkin patch.

 

 

 

Update: Poor kid.  I really should've remembered to put a hat and or sunscreen on him.  He is looking a bit sunburnt this morning.

Friday Foto 2012.10.05

Today we decided to head back to the Houston Museum of Natural Science at the Sugarland location...the visit was a bust.  The whole toddler area that the boys loved was under renovation.  The only activities there for for older kids it seemed.  The boys had no idea but the mommas were pretty disappointed.  At least B enjoyed his friend, Dino.  Here he is having a little conversation :) 

 

Happy Friday!

Pumpkins

Benjamin's been pretty excited about pumpkins lately. Good thing there's a nice big display of them at our local grocery store. This is like going to a pumpkin patch once a week. :p
