365 Day 294

Now that it's getting chilly I decided to pull out my yarn and hooks to try a new pattern. The size is off, but it fits Bug!

365 Day 293

After tasting the most amazing cinnamon bread at our friends house (and my own failure at repeating it) I found a super easy recipe online. Yum!

365 Day 292

We went to Grandma Debby's last game of the season to watch her pitch. What fun!!! I didn't even know she joined a team!

365 Day 291

We can always count on Daddy to get some giggles. After trying on costumes he found out how he would look as Merida.

365 Day 290

Gator had his first concert playing his trumpet! We thought he only had one song but he got to play several (12)! Only playing for two months and they sounded great!

365 Day 289

She picked a purple dress so she could be Rapunzel and two green flowers for her hair. Then she danced, and danced, and danced. The simple pleasures in life. 

365 Day 288

Almost by accident we're making a tradition of returning to Bishop's Pumpkin Patch. This year Bug picked out a pumpkin to bring home as well as her flowers. 

365 Day 287

We spent the night at the cabin to help put in a septic lid and when we finished the task at hand we got to explore the nearby lake. The boys all had a grand time fishing for minnows but Bug was more interested in throwing rocks into the water-her favorite activity! Everyone was happy playing in the mountains plus we got to see a full moon before sunset.
I'm sorry for the big panties and stretched out pants but one day you'll giggle too. Maybe.

365 Day 286

Taking her coat for a test run down the street

365 Day 285

I opened the jar of dilled beans Granny canned last year. My mouth was in heaven and I decided the only thing that could make it better was a Virgin Mary to go with it. So perfect, I finished the jar and had about 5 of these!  

365 Day 284

Gift card dinner of champions. 

A salad that feeds for days! YUM!

365 Day 283

Waiting while brother gets his hair cut. I love the crazy outfits she picks out

365 Day 282

Her new favorite place to read is on the windowsill where she can get some 'air'. So precious.

365 Day 281

It's been years since we last had friendship bread in the house. Time to make a starter.

365 Day 280

Two of my favorite people snuggling on the couch to watch "The Voice" with me. 

365 Day 279

We've reached this beautiful stage where Bug draws pictures and then tells me all about them. What makes it even more magical is when she tells you the same story days later. She knows what she drew!

365 Day 278

Last meet of the year. Probably should have had my camera ready for still photos before he passed me....

365 Day 277

She colored her first picture that filled up the whole page. 

I was so excited I asked her if I could tear it out and keep it.

365 Day 276

She got to have it more or less by accident but she's decided it's now her favorite cereal. "I want my favorite cereal, Mommy. LIFE!"

365 Day 275

Talk about prompt! Baby shower on Saturday and this beautiful thank you card came in the mail today. I was so honored to be a part of her celebration but the thank you card was such a sweet bonus!
