So long, summer!

On Saturday, we had a full day of college football, Dad smoked some ribs, and we began our three day weekend. It was 100 degrees outside, so most of the time was spent indoors. When I woke up on Sunday, it was chilly. Apparently fall decided to come overnight. So, after much pleading to continue wearing my shorts each morning, and instead slipping on sweats and a long sleeve shirt, I have come to terms with this farewell to summer and hello to autumn. With all this indoor time on our hands, we've been playing baseball. When I say that you probably think of a two year old's attention span and give me, at best, about 5-10 min of baseball playing at a time. Wrong. I play baseball all evening with Daddy. Sometimes we even let Mom pitch (but she is a wild thing and doesn't do it as well as Dad). We start from the time we finish dinner and we usually wrap up an hour to an hour and a half later. If I do say so myself, I'm quite the little slugger!

I had my buddies, Emerson and Sully, over for a couple of movie days recently. Our first one was for the Dinosaur Train: Big City movie. Emerson and I really like to watch Buddy, and Tiny, Shiny, and Don. Most of all we like dancing around to their songs and any other music that is playing. We had T-Rex "peanut jelly sandwiches" (that's what I call a pbj) and Stegosaurus chocolate chip cookies. Then they came over for some bbq and football, which was awesome. Yorn made us cool popcorn bags with football stuff on them and we had delicious pepperoni and cheese pretzel kabobs. She's so creative. Lastly, a little Toy Story 3, a comfy blanket, and four of the cutest boys ever snuggling together on a cool day. Better yet, a picture where all of us are looking!

I helped Daddy do some home improvement recently. We had some terrible track lighting in our dining room. Mom insisted that after we painted the atrocious light had to be replaced. A little craigslist perusing resulted in the perfect chandelier. Dad and I (with some assistance from Deklan) tackled the project one Saturday. It required a cool headlamp, lots of measuring, and a lot of tools.

With my so long to summer, I thought I'd throw in some of my pictures from 4th of July that I didn't get around to posting a couple of months ago. Emerson and I were playing cornhole in our matching outfits...we've got such silly Mommies!

Since we were playing catch up with pictures, here are some from Deklan's birthday party. It was a blast. As you can see, I liked the tasty cookies and playing with all my friends. I can't wait til my birthday!

 

If you have time, check out my newest videos. Mom caught me singing Winnie the Pooh. Then she took a video of me, dancing to Veggie Tales Silly Songs. Click on the links to see me. I'm hilarious!
