Random thoughts this Monday:

reason 101 I probably shouldn't have a license: I drove 15 mins. with my blinker on this morning.

If you want to know what a day with Jude (or any little boy) is like just read this book.

Reading the jokes off of Laffy Taffy wrappers is almost better than eating them.

We have had chilly weather here, and Elisabeth automatically thinks it is Christmas. She has been listen to Christmas music and even "decorated" her room. I keep telling her we have a while to wait, but she is 4 and doesn't really understand time.

hubs planted a ton of tree this past week...he is such a hard worker.

Writing about Christmas really makes me want a Christmas cookie.


p.s. I am doing a giveaway over at Ava's Graces Closet...come check it out :)

Shhhhh....I'm not ready for Christmas yet. However, I think eating Christmas cookies any time is perfectly acceptable.

Susan said...

Yay to a fabulous giveaway!
And boo to even uttering the (shhhh) Christmas word. Although I secretly can't wait either.

I've had several people start talking about Christmas and for the FIRST YEAR EVER, I'm trying to fight it! I really am determined to decorate for fall and not for Christmas in November!! LoL

Stumbled upon you and realized you live in KC so I just HAD to say hi. (I also live in KC). Lol.

Your blog is beautiful! I'm kind of obsessing over that mustard coat from Anthro now. It's going to take everything I can to prevent myself from heading over there is afternoon and buying it!!

Kristal said...

shut the door, i love that coat. too bad, it is never cold enough here to wear something like that without sweating. But I love that!

Karen said...

We had a moment of cooler air the other day {it's already hot again} and the kids both asked if Christmas was next week!!

Andrea @ Strawberry Chic said...

I'm would love to have some chilly weather...its still in the 80's where I'm at :( and I wish it were Christmas time too! in fact, I watched the old chipmunk's Christmas movie last week with my little guy (although he still isn't old enough to understand what it's all about :)

Alyss said...

Mmmm... Christmas. And mmmm... that yellow jacket.

Unknown said...

That dress is so adorable! As is her thinking it's Christmas time :) So cute!

Raquel said...

I shouldn't be allowed to drive because I get road rage. I'm just impatient in the morning... I love that yellow coat, I want a red or yellow jacket for winter!

Flor said...

oh that coat is adorable. Its probably way over what my budget allows for a jacket.. but it's just so cute! I can't even think about Christmas yet.. we are still waiting for Fall to show up around here! :)

Hannah {Culture Connoisseur} said...

Oh how I wish it was cool enough here to wear a jacket. I would settle for even cool enough for a light sweater. UGH!

Angie said...

I'm just stopping by to thank you for your kind words on my blog today. It really meant so much to me on such a difficult post. Next week will be a happy post...I promise ;)

emily said...
