My freckles haven’t started hibernating for the winter yet. This makes me very happy.
Fall also makes me very happy. I’m participating in it at every opportunity. Apple orchard play dates, I baked pumpkin muffins, burning my Autumn Wreath Yankee Candle, got out the boys’ sweaters and pants, and I haven’t shaved for a week. Come, Autumn, come.
My boys both have stuffy noses, although the baby is significantly more upset about it than the toddler. And by upset about “it” I mean upset about that blue suction-y thing his parents keep putting up his nostrils right before he nurses. That thing is the PITS.
I’m knitting again, and at a furious pace. I completed a pumpkin hat for OBrother within 24 hours of purchasing the yarn. When I tried it on him, OBoy was jealous of the ‘punkin hat’… so now I’m making him one, too.
Yes, of course I’ll share the pattern with you and show you a picture.
OBoy split his lip open on Monday. He face planted on asphalt. From the feeling of it, I could swear my heart was right there getting roughed up with him. His lip is fine now and is healing faster than my nerves. (That was so hard to watch.)
I ran 7 miles on Sunday. It was amazing. The perfect weather, a good attitude, and a chill but encouraging pandora station to listen to got me there. I am also blessed to have a courageous husband who is willing to tackle two kids solo in the evening (of all times) so that I can go run for over an hour.
Sleep is, well. I don’t want to talk about it.
I’ve got a little something up my sleeve for Friendly Friday tomorrow. This is going to be more challenging for me than I thought (which is a good thing). It’s so good to have this as an extra reminder in my week to look for ways to bless others. I hope you join us!
Apple orchard play dates? Oh. My. Goodness. That sounds wonderful!
My little boy hated the blue sucky thing too… I couldn’t do it to him…made my husband. I sure hate watching my baby cry (even if its over things that are good for him), but I cannot imagine how my heart would feel if he (when he) hurts himself! I imagine that it does very much feel like your heart is right there! Glad is lip is healing!
Go you for running 7 miles! WOW! :) Your boys are just adorable!
You check out tyev Nose Frida- I find it is much easier to use and more comfortable for the baby.
7 MILES!! That’s incredible. I am in LOVE with the hat….the only question that remains is how much would you charge Oboys future MIL for one?
holy heck.. did you just decide to run 7 miles and DID IT? did you work up to 7 miles? seriously I don’t think I could run around our cul-de-sac and I’m not like huge or anything. Just a TERRIBLE runner. I’ve always dreamed of running.. it just makes me feel horrible. Like I could die. You should do a blog post on your running escapades :)
Love you, love your blog. Enough said.
Wow, that is awesome on the run and knitting! I want to learn to do both for more than 2 minutes;) Glad big boy is healing up. Yes, that is such not a good feeling. Happy Fall!
Hi!
I fear the day my guy bleeds like with a busted lip. Could happen any time now. LOVE the hat. I am dreaming of a hat like that, but a banana for my lil one. Clinton (2 yrs) is going to be a monkey and Stella (5wks) is going to be a banana for haloween. Thanks for sharing and keep up the awesom running progress!
come on, Fall. COMEONEFALL!
7 miles! that’s amazing.
i was just wondering if we will see pictures of the upstairs reno finished? i don’t think that we ever saw it! love you blog :)
