Weekend Full O' Nothin'

Well we had a chilly weekend here! Fall is definately here and dare I say winter is creeping around the corner? .. We didnt really do much this weekend, and I didnt realize it until I was actually speaking with Erica on the phone today.. ha!

We had the heaters crankin', the pumpkin spice candles burnin' and we layed around under blankets, and played with Samantha and her toys, read books, Momma cooked a little, Daddy cooked a little...and Momma baked a pie!

I just couldnt go through fall without baking at least 1 pie. Usually its cupcakes in my oven, but I needed a little break.

I'll be making cupcakes for Thanksgiving.. and for my cousin Brigid's Baby Shower next weekend so that will be quite enough..

Samantha has found some new things to be obsessed with.... I will try to post pics of her in action, but she loves stickers and coloring. I think I already have some of her coloring .. esp the previous post.

She is also a little mimic. Everything I do.. she does.. but some of her favorites are ... putting on lipgloss (we pretend of course) but she is learning how to get the caps off of some.. so i cant let her take them too far out of sight.

Playing hide and go seek. She knows how to play, and hides in the same spot everytime its her turn to hide.

Coloring.. if she sees a pen, crayon, marker... you BETTER let the girl color.. and for at least 20-30 minutes... Melt downs WILL occur with a half-assed coloring session.

Hot Water... We usually give her a bath or rinse off in the shower... and tonight she nearly fell asleep in Daddy's arms..

This pic is a little riskee... haha.. But you get the idea.. total relaxation.. and the Momma is tres jealous!

The Buffalo

Since we've moved, on our daily walks SJ has become obsessed with "the boo" as she calls it. It is a HUGE Buffalo mounted on the lawn of the high school near our house.

It was part of a citywide Art Project called "Herd About Buffalo"... and now I beleive they were all sold and they are all over the city in various places, and lucky us, one is right down the street from our house!


She thinks its a dog.. I keep telling her BU FA LO... But she calls it a "boo".

This is her.. on Main Street screaming to it from the other side of the street.. So now we had to go across and see "the Boo"....

Pulling up and touching it was not quite enough...




We must always get out...

And stand beside it...


And touch it...


And kiss it.. (too cute)

And get up on the darn thing... which is almost as tall as Momma.


As you can see its a full blown obsession she's got here.. haha.. Its so funny. If I let her, she'd walk right down our driveway and walk across Main Street to see it. She'll point and walk saying "boooooooo"....

So thats the "boo"... Of course other things are the boo too... Vaccum goes "boo" and so does the famous lawnmower for now.
