The Friday Files

Hello, dear friends.  Happy First Day of Fall!  As much as I miss the Summer, I do love all the color, aromas, and tastes of Autumn.   About ninety percent of the candles that I own are pumpkin scented. 

Do you have a big weekend planned?  The Mister and I are taking Chowdah to the beauty parlor, running errands, and of course, going to the movies.  It's the Mister's turn to pick the flick.  (Insert eye roll).  You know what that means.  I'll give you a hint: it will involve shooting, stabbing, chasing, and blowing things up.  It is during the Mister's choices that I wish that I could take my Kindle into the theater.

Sunday is supposed to be beautiful, so we will probably take a field trip.

Are you or someone you know expecting a second baby?
Here's a cute article that is written by an expectant Dad.

When we brought my #2 home from the hospital, my #1 kept waving at her repeating "Bye, Bye Baby!" for weeks.  It took her awhile to adjust to the fact that #2 was sticking around for awhile.
