Mommy & Me Monday
This is my first Mommy & Me Monday! :)
Hosted by Krystyn at Really, Are You Serious?
After Nolan went to bed Friday night, Mike still had some homework to do, so Aiden & I cuddled on the couch to watch "The Sword in the Stone." It was SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO nice to hang out with the A-Dawg, especially since he sat still and watched the entire movie! I really enjoyed sharing something with him that I watched as a little kid. Too fun.

10 Things I Think I Think, Back to Work Edition
10. I have the Sunday Night Blues hardcore right now. Not only is tomorrow my first day back after a week off, but today is my birthday and the weather is FINALLY decent (though the clouds are rolling in now). Le sigh.
9. I bought my last can of formula last week. That makes me (and my wallet) ridiculously happy.
8. We had family portraits taken today. I thought I looked cute in my sweater until I saw the previews. Once Abby's wedding is done, I am committed to losing some weight.
7. I'd feel a lot better about #8 if I hadn't just drank a beer and eaten nearly half a bag of chips while watching the Browns game.
6. Nolan got his seventh tooth the day after his birthday, and has been a chatterbox since then as well. Though his first word was "Mama," he spends most of his day saying "Dada" and "Aydah." Oh, well.
5. Scentsy is going pretty well--had a fun party yesterday and another one scheduled for this Sunday. Hit me up if you'd like to place an order!
4. Aiden is O-B-S-E-S-S-E-D with Foster the People's "Pumped Up Kicks." He asks us all day long to play the video for him, and he does this hilarious dance while watching it. Definitely video-worthy, but apparently I'm too busy drinking a beer and eating half a bag of chips.
3. Did I mention I'd rather stay home tomorrow?
2. Missed my Buckeyes this weekend--I hate bye weeks. Though I can't quite say I'm looking forward to Saturday night's showdown with Wisconsin; the Badgers might be a bit miffed after losing to MSU on the last play yesterday. But that's the just the kind of season we're in, I guess. Regardless, GO BUCKS. :)
1. If I must go back to work tomorrow, I'm glad that my bestie Angie is returning as well. I know it's rough to come back after a baby, and even worse after another, so I'm not going to sugar coat things and say it will be easy and all that crap. Selfishly, though, I'm just happy to be able to see her on a regular basis again.

Not Quite the Pumpkin Patch
I *heart* fall. It's my favorite time of year, hands down. I love the leaves, I love the pumpkins, I love the football, I love the sweatshirts, I love the apple cider--ALL OF IT. And with a week of vacation scheduled for the second half of October, I have been anticipating a trip to the apple orchard / pumpkin patch with my guys for months.
{Cue the Little-Did-I-Know music}
Unfortunately, I didn't get the best of weather for my week off; it's rained four of the five days I've been home with the guys. But did I let my dreams of pumpkins and cider and all things autumnal crash and burn? Well, maybe just a touch (we did spend a couple of those days in our PJs). Until yesterday, when we trekked up to Mansfield to visit my folks and enjoy the season.
After getting loaded up at Apple Hill with apples, apple cider, and apple donuts (HEAVEN), we headed over to Wayne's Country Market to play in the kids' barn, complete with straw maze, zip line, and huge sliding boards--all under a large tent and protected from the drizzle. Aiden had a BLAST.
And Mr. Nolan? He was just content to sit in the straw.
They also got to hang out with rather large scarecrow. :)
All in all, it was a great, if not slightly damp & chilly, day, and we can't wait to do it again next year--hopefully with a bit more sunshine.

With PaPa & PooPoo, during the only glint of sunshine we got.
Cheese, with a side of gourds.
Cameo appearance by Mom.
Aiden went down the slide(s) at least 20 times.
Too preoccupied to look up at Mom for a photo.
