Fall!

I love Fall. This weekend we took Harper to a Pumpkin Patch complete with lambs, hay rides, pumpkin bread, sand art and pumpkins (of course). See below as Harper feeds this little guy. She told him repeatldly that he was tickling her with his mouth.


We took a hay ride.

Harper played in a stall full of corn. That's right, corn. As you can tell she was a little confused at first too but ended up loving it.


Then she picked out the perfect pumpkin. Actually, she picked out three. One for herself, one for Collin and one for Aneliese. She insisted. Also, she did all of this while wearing big girl panties. She's been diaperless for three consecutive days with only one major accident. She is very impressed with herself as are we.


Happy Fall, all.

Halloween Costume

So, after desperately trying to decide between a butterfly or pumpkin for the last week, Harper has decided (in no uncertain terms) that she wants to be a dolphin for Halloween. That's right, a dolphin.

Any suggestions on how I pull off a dolphin costume without copious amounts of duct tape?

Shirt Hat

We take a lot of baths around here. The adults of the house fly through the shower in a matter of moments, but the kid around here requires a little more cajoling to get clean. Rituals, characters and props all help when we're trying to shine up an otherwise grubby toddler and one of those rituals has been to pull Harper's shirt halfway over her head and call it a hat. We call it Shirt Hat (I know, not our most clever moment.) Also, some other bathtime pics. Happy Saturday to all.
