Monday's

This is weird for most people, but I really love Monday's. I didn't start liking them until I had kids, but now that I am a stay at home mom I really love Monday's. When I tell people that they tend to look at me like I am crazy. And rightfully so! It all boils down to getting back in to the routine of the week. I love routine! Weekends are wonderful, don't get me wrong, I love love love our family time on the weekends more than anything. But come Monday, I am always ready and excited. 

I haven't ever planned many activities on Monday's with my kids because mainly I love spending the day with just them. Monday morning I tend to sit around a little longer, drink my coffee a little longer than the other days of the week. Usually my kids play together and nicely longer than usual! They must love Monday's too! We almost always go out and eat lunch together on Monday's, just the three of us! It is these days, and these moments that I am going to miss so much as they get older and start school. I guess I will have to go up to their school and eat with them every Monday :)

Today was an extra special Monday. Why? Well, it is October 1st, one of the best days of the year! It is the official start of the holiday season in my mind. The next three months are my favorite months of the year! We started today with a little shopping. I decided the best way to start the holiday season was to buy some Christmas gifts, two down many more to go! Then we went and had lunch at Central Market. The weather was perfect and we got a table right by the playground so Kade and Ella could play. Afterwards, we grocery shopped a little and then checked out the pumpkin display and the kids loved it! We did all this while Kade and Ella wore their Halloween clothes! I couldn't wait to bust those bad boys out of the closet!

Happy Monday! Happy 1st day of October! God bless this time of year!

Conversations with Kade

I have already posted this picture, but a couple of weeks ago Kade said my very quote he has ever said to date.

"Mama, I have two favorite foods. The first is donuts, the second is sprinkles."




I love this age, 3 year olds are hilarious!

Mini-kicker

I signed Kade up for a soccer class at the local rec center. I can't wait for him to play real soccer someday but I wasn't quite ready to give up all my Saturday mornings just quite yet. He loves going to his mini-kickers class. They try to teach them some things, but for the most part they play games and run around a lot. Kade laughs so hard and so loud while he is playing that it makes it so worth it! His "coaches" are so awesome too. Me and some other moms have commented that they have more patience than anyone we have ever seen! They are so calm and great with the kids! He only has a few more weeks left and we will be sad when it is over!

Ella Claire- month by month

 It is crazy to see how much Ella grew in one year!

Love her to pieces!

Newborn

Looking back I realized I never did a 9 month sticker picture! I guess during the move and remodeling I forgot! But here is one at 9 months!
