Daily Life

Fall has finally arrived here in FL (well, most days) and we are enjoying lots of playtime outside these days.

Gotta love those lopsided pigtails. She is constantly searching for dandelions in our yard, it's so cute.

The afternoon sun, a quilt, a good children's book and the iphone (for Instagram pics) equals a great afternoon with my kiddo.

Mommy & Sydney time....love.

Taken from my backyard, the sky that night was breathtaking. Sydney said, 'Oh look how beautiful the sky is Mommy!' She says the cutest things now!

Dreaming of Fall

Happy Weekend!
I just love fall, the colors are gorgeous, the weather is perfect and there are usually amazing smells to go along with it. I love for my house to smell like cinnamon in the fall, there's just something comforting and warm about it to me. Now if only the weather in Florida would get the hint and not be so flippin hot and muggy!

Another great thing about fall is all of the super cute crafts! Sydney and her Grandma started their first fall craft last weekend, painting ceramic pumpkins. Sydney was pretty impressive, she was concentrating so hard and was really meticulous in her brushstrokes. I love seeing her focus so much on something, she gets this determined look on her face that is adorable.

Look at her little hand gripping that brush.

Crazy face!

Pure focus and concentration.

This week in Mommyland....

Saturday we took Sydney to her first fair in a little country town about 25 minutes away. The weather was perfect and it was fairly small so it wasn't too crowded.

We did NOT ride this, these scare the crap outta me!

Sydney rode the baby train. They wouldn't let her ride alone so I had to squeeze my rear onto that tiny seat but she LOVED it. The discomfort was worth it, I mean look at that smile.

She was checking out the animals here, I think it was the horses and donkeys.

You can't beat fair food! I left with a big ole bag of cotton candy for the road.

Syd trying her first snocone. All was well until the brain freeze hit in pics 3 and 4. She spit all of that red stuff right down her shirt and then started to cry. I felt bad for her but Ed and I laughed so hard we cried.

I can't wait until next year when she can ride more rides and play some of the games. It was a perfect day for our little family!
