First Day of Fall=Gloomy Day

Today is the first day of Fall!  I am so excited that Fall is finally here... officially!  

Although Fall has not very nice to us so far. Today is one gloomy, rainy day. That and they're saying it is supposed to get up to 83 degrees.  UGH!  I'm sorry but that is not a Fall day!

Today is this kind of day:

Yeah, I did do that to my daughter.  Does that make me a bad mom???  I thought it was funny!  :o/

Anyways...to make this day even worse... Hannah gets her flu shot today.  Poor thing.  :o(

Hopefully the weather will whip into shape here in the next few days!  I am ready to wear sweaters and sweatshirts!  :o)  And so is Hannah... because mommy kind of packed up most of her summer clothes.  If the weather doesn't cool off, I am going to have to put Hannah in a sweater when it is 80 degrees outside... and I don't think that would be very good.

What is your first day of Fall like?  warm? rainy? cool? I hope it is better than ours!

peek-a-boo

Hannah loves to play peek-a-boo!

Hannah usually isn't allowed in the kitchen...we close it off with our gate.  But she managed to sneak in one day when I forgot to close it.  She headed straight to the curtains and decided to play peek-a-boo.  :oP

Elmo

I do not believe in sticking your kid in front of the television just to keep them occupied. However, I do believe (and especially since Hannah is getting older) that it is okay for her to randomly watch some educational type cartoons/shows. 

So I had turned on Sesame Street one day and it totally caught her attention. 

What is it about Elmo that keeps kids so engrossed in what he is saying? She loved him!

Apple Picking

A few weekends ago we took Hannah apple picking.  She couldn't do much but we still had fun... and we think she did too!  :o)

tracker ride to the orchard

so many apples to choose from

yummy!

Butterfly Invitation

I think I have finalized Hannah's birthday invitation.  

It is simple and clean but still fun and girly!  :o)

 I took these with my crappy camera but I hope you get the idea.  Now I just need to order them!  :o) I'm excited!

EDIT--The butterflies are cut out of crepe paper and attached to the invite so the wings will 'flutter'.  And I think I am going to make the butterfly smaller and put two on there... so they are more in proportion with the flowers on the bottom.
