A whole week already? It was a busy one. We went to the farm last Monday to pick some pumpkins. Henry and I had spent the whole weekend getting out our Halloween decorations (2+ bins that are still quite full!) I'm glad I have a little holiday-lover, it makes them so much more fun to celebrate.
I am panicking a little that it's almost mid-October. There are still 2 costumes to make (I'm not budging on this- their costumes have to be handmade) and with a baby who is set to arrive next month, I'm feeling like Christmas needs to be all wrapped up before his arrival as I am sure I won't want to do a thing after he's born. I drove the kids up to Utah this weekend for one last little getaway. It's chilly here. I had to go and buy them both socks yesterday. Neither of them own a single pair. We never ever wear socks. Flip-flops, salt-waters, there's just no need for them in Los Angeles. Kate was so weirded out today when I tried to put them on her. Henry resisted too, but then later could not resist putting his feet in my face after pulling his socks off "see they aren't stinky!" (I'd still rather go for the stink.)
Okay, I lied. I think Kate has 1 or 2 pair, as evidenced in the above photo of her on her first pony ride at the farm. It was chilly that day. Anyway, she loved riding on Marshmallow. Henry chose this pumpkin. Apparently it is of the 'millionaire' variety (at least that's what the lady at checkout told us...and why it was twice the cost of the other pumpkins...humph?)Kate was happy as a clam with this little one and I think it suits her perfectly. Looking forward to a fun, and hopefully relaxing, week here in Utah. Hoping baby doesn't decide to come early (what am I thinking- both babies went a week past their due date!) and still trying to justify that it's perfectly acceptable to try to pass off wearing my black stretchy straight-legged pajama bottoms as regular people pants whilst in public. At this point even the maternity clothes are getting a bit well, ahem....snug. I just need the comfort people!
