I Had to Do It

We had a lovely weekend! One of the joys of our house is actually being so close to one of the high school stadiums (unfortunately not the Hubby's) and on Friday nights M and I will grab a blanket and go sit outside in the front lawn and just listen to the cheers and band playing.  There is something so relaxing about it.

And I just had to do it- we could not resist doing a little fall decorating.

The fall mantel in the works- Goodbye sand and shells!

On our weekly grocery trip we decided we would let M try sitting up in the cart and she did pretty good and seemed to really enjoy not being in her car seat.  Not to mention how much I enjoyed having the whole cart for groceries once again.

M also tried Avacado last night and it was not a success.  She strongly disliked it.  I think she was punishing us last night for her new food because it was by far the worst night we have had with her.  She was up at 11, 12:30 (when we brought her into bed with us), 1, 3, 6, and 7:30- tired does not begin to explain how we are feeling today.  I'm thinking she must be doing a lot of growing because she nursed with every awakening.  I keep thinking she is sooooo big until I see this:

As a side note, I can not get over how beautiful these roses turned out!  Possibly the most beautiful dozen roses I have ever received- and to think these are $10 from Kroger.  Quantity does not equal quality.
