Pumpkin Patch Day





Today was Pumpkin Patch Day at daycare and Gabbie picked out her pumpkin and created her own design....such a one-eyed masterpiece.
And of course it was cold today.....Now I remember why I don't like living here:)

Oprah here I come!

I have long been an Oprah fan; I think she is awesome. Four years ago, I was able to get tickets to her show and it was great!
Since this is her last year, I have been stalking her website, applying for tickets when the window is open and checking it daily for any last minute reservations. Well yesterday afternoon there was a posting for last minute reservations for Nov. 3, 4, and 5. I applied for all the dates of course. Well today I was notified that I got tickets for the Nov. 3 show! Wow, how lucky am I? I am so so excited to be able to see her show again and who knows maybe it will be her favorite things show....now wouldn't that be something!

I like it, I like it!


This weekend we went to Champps restaurant and had potato skins for an appetizer. Gabbie took some initiative and grabbed a whole potato and began eating it like she had done it before. Wow!

19 months old

Today Gabbie turned 19 months; we had a pretty uneventful day. We went out for a 2mile walk at Eagle Creek and enjoyed the great weather. Life is good!

Sewing 101

On Wednesday, Gabbie will have "Career Day" at daycare, yes "Career Day". On Saturday I found a doctor's costume, with lab coat, scrubs and a thethoscope. I was only able to find a small which is a size 4; this is too big for her so I am going to try and sew the lab coat. Now in high school I got a C- on an apron I tried to create and sew soooo the outcome of her lab coat should be very interesting. I did take it into school today to get some pointers from one of our home ec teachers. i was hoping she would sympathize with me and volunteer to fix it but no! of course she asked to see a picture of Gabbie with her lab coat on so I think she just wants to see how bad I butcher my baby's coat!
Wish me luck:)
