Our week.













This week:

-We had a special play date. Playtime and a Halloween craft are included. My oldest was thrilled to have her friend over. They played, worked on a craft, and ate some delicious blueberry muffins made by my friend.

-Worked on decorating our pumpkins. This year instead of carving pumpkins we decorated one and dressed up the other.  It was such a fun time.

-Headed to the library. We checked out some books and attended storytime. My oldest danced and played with a few other kids. I take this time and chit-chat with a few other moms. -Ah, it's nice.

-We made pumpkin cookies. -Of course, we did, it's fall time! ;) 

-I purchased a few more cloth inserts for my cloth diapers. -So far I am absolutely loving this whole cloth diaper experience. - I'll have to post more about it soon! 

-Found a mom and baby yoga video on youtube.- Mum &Baby Yoga. Very cute video. My little one seemed to enjoy the gentle movements. :) And of course, I enjoyed the interaction between us.

This week has treated us all well. Later tonight we plan on attending the Fall Fest at our Church. They will have candy, food, hay rides, and a few other activities for everyone. What are your plans for Halloween? I'd love to hear them. :)

Hello to all my readers. And a big welcome to my new readers. -So happy to have you here.

    I'm glad you had a good week. It seems like you're settling in really well as a mom of two. I love the Mr Potato Head parts on the pumpkin, what a great idea. My mom tells me that when she was a kid, you had to use a real potato for the parts.

      Jennifer, awe thank you! It's a big adjustment. But everything seems to be falling into place. :) I'm very happy about that. That's pretty awesome about using real potatoes for the parts. -Boy how things change!

    I love cloth diapering! I didn't do it with my older boys (3 and 4) but we are with my one year old and I wish I found it earlier. Don't they just look so cute with their fluffy bums?!

    I also love the idea of decorating pumpkins instead of carving them! We haven't been very interested in pumpkins because even my oldest basically watches daddy carve. We'll have to try this next year! :)

      Kaylene! You're so right! I really wish we would have done it with our first. I absolutely love it. I'll be making a post soon on my cloth diaper experience so far. -It's been wonderful. And I agree, their fluffy bums are adorable. :) As far as the pumpkins go, give it a try! I think your kids will love decorating their pumpkins. Such a fun experience for all.
