The magic word

Autumn: "Daddy, can you help me find my lion?
Me: What's the magic word?"
Autumn: "Abra Cadabra".

Huh?

Got a new kind of bread... Autumn: "What's up with this bread?". That was the first time she used "what's up with..." and it cracked me up!

Wanted: Interior Decorator

I asked Autumn how she'd like to decorate her room. She said "pictures". I asked her what kind of pictures. She said "of snakes". hmmm... I don't think I like that theme!

Merry Christmas!

Fruit!

I asked Autumn what kind of fruit she wanted and she said those things that look like cheerios... ah, fruit loops. At least they are organic and flavored with fruit, but still, not quite what I meant - lol.

Mr. Squirrel

There's a squirrel on the deck eating from our bird feeder.
Autumn: He's so cute. Mr. Squirrel, come inside and play with me. Mr. Squirrel, Mr. Squirrel. He no hear me!
Me: Honey, Squirrels don't understand and he can't come in the house since he lives outside and doesn't know how to be good in a house. He doesn't know the rules like "no eating toys".
Autumn: Mr. Squirrel, you no eat my toys. OK, I told him the rules.

Clouds

‎"Momma, that [cloud] looks like a boy and a dog and he's taking him to disney world... or maybe it's a caterpillar". LOL.

Whitehall Fall Festival Parade

Autumn and Evan loved the parade. They both got caught glow necklaces and we picked up lots of candy. Autumn learned to scream "Candy, Please!!!". Jim and I were most excited to catch a Chick-Fil-A Sandwich! Autumn loved the marching bands and the children on the floats. What a wonderful night!

Pop's Birthday

A Sunday at Trexler Park

18lbs and counting

I weighed Evan and he's finally up to 18lbs - one more pound in the next month and he'll actually be on the growth curve. My little man!

Milk Mess

Evan was very proud of the mess he made...
