Today started off like most days lately…cold! but i warmed up once i threw on the fuzzy pink robe my mom gave me when i firs got married. i look in the mirror now when i’m holding sophia and i see my mother. totally. she wore a light blue robe all through my childhood..it must be like a mom staple. sophia loves it though its so snuggy she cuddles even more with me when i have it on haha. Sophia decided to wake up at 5:30 am this morning..lovely. of course at first i was like ahhh…..”darn it”..but as soon as i walk into her room and see her throw her arms up and go mamaaa…its over…i love it! she makes me smile even when i don’t want to. and into the bed with mama and dada she goes!
besides the early wake up call…today started off somewhat smooth. not. my deodorant broke off as soon as i opened it.. and flew under my dresser. of course. i tried and failed to get sophia down for her morning nap.. daddy woke up from his nap (he was up at 5:30 with her.)..and he got her down his first try. of course! but then he made it all better cause he came downstairs..saw me working on my computer and turned on the romance on demand music channel…for some reason it was all in spanish. haha. so we slow danced amid the toys covering the family room floor. very romantic. haha. but then when he started to do some so you think you can dance moves i knew it was time to get on with the day!
I wanted to share some photos from Sophia’s first trip to the pumkin patch!! it was so fun. it was like a feel good trip. if you haven’t done it yet this season do it! I think ben and i enjoyed the trip more than sophia haha. It was an adventure in itself. We missed the hay ride out to the pumpkin patch. I asked the lady working there if we could walk and she looked at me like i was crazy…i’m not sure if the crazy look meant of course..or…no you’ll get lost….. well.. we just started walking and you would think there would be like one trail…no…there were like 4 trails. we got to a point where we had to choose which way to go and we just started laughing and tried to use our detective skills to see which of the mud tracks looked fresher. (??haha. yeah i don’t know??) We finally found the pumpkin patch and the other people after wandering for a while. It was fun though. It didn’t really look how we both pictured it…must more..hilly..and dead looking. but it was still nice! sophia was scared at first when we put her down..but then she got the hang of it. I’m not really into the whole Halloween thing. But i do enjoy decorating and doing fall/autumn things! I think all my friends with babies have a pumpkin patch album up on facebook…love it. it was so nice..go do something fun like this with your family!
