When the high for an October Saturday in Texas is 65, you simply have no choice--you must go to a pumpkin patch. I'm pretty sure it's a law :) And that's exactly what we did! I really didn't think Arden was old enough to enjoy it, but boy was I wrong! She loved the slide, the hayride, the train, the chickens--she loved it all! She just toddled around pointing and saying "pa-poo" (pumpkin) and "chi-ten" the whole time. As we drove home yesterday my heart was so full. ...
Firsts
I had every intention of being a good blogger this week. I had lots to talk about, fun things to share...and then I got the flashing folder screen of death on my laptop. Dun dun dun. Sadly, it doesn't look like the old Macbook is going to pull through--so while we research replacements (and by we, I mean Chris...electronics are not really my thing) I'll be borrowing Chris' work computer when I can in the evenings. It's gonna be tough, but I think ...
Five!
YES! My favorite blogging day of the week is back! You know the drill... ONE. I learned about this little gem, also known as The Prairie by Rachel Ashwell, during our adventures in Round Top last week. I only have one question…when can I move in? SWOON. Chris, if you're reading this--a weekend here would be the best anniversary/Christmas/birthday gift ever… okay, thanks :) TWO. A lot of times I find myself choosing not to do an activity with ...
Is this Heaven? Antiques Week 2013
A new addition to my "Things I love about Texas" list: Antiques Week!!! Last week my mom and her best friend, Esther, drove all the way down from Kansas to join me for a couple of hot (but awesome) days of "junkin"! If you haven't heard of Antiques Week (which I hadn't until last year), it's basically fields and fields of antiques, home decor, and lots of great junk. As we drove into Warrenton and got our first glimpse of the tents, my flea-market-loving-self was in heaven. ...
Mommy & Me Monday + A Few Weekend Pics
Did you miss me?! Yeah...I didn't think so :) I took a little blog-cation to hang out with my mom and her BFF last week. More to come soon on our awesome Round Top adventure!! But let's talk about this weekend. Saturday was a little rough…an ear infection, a big fall on the kitchen tile, and a K-State loss. Ughhh. That's okay though because Sunday made up for it. Houston finally got the memo and blessed us with some awesome Fall-like weather, so we busted out ...
Five on Friday!
Is it weird that I look forward to Thursday nights when I get to sit down and write my 5 on Friday posts? It's like starting the weekend early or something…and I'm all about that :) Linking up with my sweet friend Darci for some Friday randomness! ONE. Lesson of the day…if you're going to steal someone's chair, make sure it doesn't have their name on it. #shethinkssheshuman TWO. This song has been on repeat at our house lately. LOVE me some David ...
