First Parade

Everett experienced his first parade this morning at Middletown's Family Fun Festival! I was loving this little Chihuahua riding on the back of the bike!

Everett meets a clown for the first time.

Everett and I waiting for the parade to start. We had to wait awhile, but we did what we do best......people watch!

Everett taking it all in. It was the best free entertainment for a toddler!

Guessing Game

Can you guess what is on Everett's face? It's sticky. It's fluffy. It's oh so good!

Have you guessed yet!?!

Marshmallow Creme!!! I like to introduce Everett to the simple pleasures in life, and for me, this is one of them. A rare and special treat. I think Everett has inherited Mommy's sweet tooth.

It's Official...He's A Genius

A Great Visit, A Great Birthday

My mom came last Thursday for a short visit. We had so much fun....shopping, eating, watching movies, and playing with Everett. She watched Everett on Saturday night so Eric and I could go out on a date for my birthday. We went to P.F Changs, then went and saw "Julie and Julia." The food was delicious and the movie was good as well. We don't get out all that much (just the two of us), so it is always a treat. After the movie we went out for Coldstone ice-cream (thanks Gigi!).

Today is my actual birthday, and since we had already kind of celebrated, we kept everything low-key. Eric made me a delicious breakfast of biscuits and gravy, eggs, and grits. A real Southern breakfast. After that, we just relaxed at home and played with Ev. Later this afternoon we went to the park and ran some errands. For dinner tonight, we just ate a smorgasbord of all my pregnancy cravings.....meatloaf, stuffing, and bruschetta Eric made me a chocolate cake.....yum! Overall, I had a great birthday because I spent it with my boys.

Ducks!

Farm Day

Yesterday was a busy, but fun day. In the morning we went to Huber Farm in Indiana. Everett spent most of the time just running around. We then shopped at the farmer's market and had lunch at the cafe. Everett seemed to have a great time and I thought for sure he would fall asleep in the car, but he was a ball of energy! After nap time, we then decided to make a yummy dinner of chicken/herb tortellini and olive salad crostinis. After dinner we then went to "duck park" and watched others feed the ducks. There were at least 100 of them! Everett was definitely not afraid and I caught him saying "duck" several times. If we wanted to teach him to say that word, that was the way to do it! Finally, we ended the day the way every day should end- dessert. Pumpkin cheesecake-a little Fall preview.

A Few Fall Crafts

Tonight I decided to work on a few Fall projects. I have been wanting a simple toddler book bag as a replacement for Everett's diaper bag. I ran across this one at Hobby Lobby and decided to personalize it. Much simpler than the big bulky diaper bag we have been hauling around! It has been awhile since I have made Everett some shirts, so I decided to make them Fall-themed. The last picture is an applique I want to put on a shirt for Thanksgiving. I am not sure what size Ev will be exactly when it comes that time, so I decided to wait on that one. Hopefully, more to come!
