Eating

Lunch of home made leftovers. Yum! It amuses me they they are enjoying this so meal as much as they are. I tried making beef stroganoff the other day, it was not a hit. Today though, they ate it up and wanted more! Sweet!

Pumpkin Patch

Today we went to the pumpkin patch and the apple orchard. Fun fun! Karina had a great time with the apples. Jr had a hard time at first. He was a little tired but eventually warmed up and had a good time too.

We got a bunch of apples. I need some new recipes to try. Jr didn't want to eat any, but Karina sampled about 5 apples while there, thankfully they have an eat whatever you want policy.
Then we went to the pumpkins. The rule in the family is you can only get a pumpkin as big as you can carry. Needless to say, our pumpkins are very small. We got one for each kid, they were only a dollar each. The big ones were $3, we should have gotten one or two of those too.

We finished the outing with a stop by the farm's market, a hot dog and a caramel apple pop each.

Overall a very good day, we will be carving our petit pumpkins next weekend.

Cookies

Yesterday we mixed up some cookies with Grandma. Karina enjoyed herself, she tasted at every stage in the mixing as well as whenever no one was looking.
Yummy oatmeal cookies!

Sleeping Struggles

How could I be so horrible? After 30 minutes of rocking and nursing after reading and cuddling, I put the sleeping Rina in her crib. She woke up upon impact with the mattress gentle as it may have been. I patted and tried soothing her from outside of the crib bit of course it didn't work. Daddy tried: also unsuccessful. Jr woke up from all of the crying which had become screaming. Now do not feel bad for her. She is more than loved, I pretty much do the bidding of a 1 year old on a daily basis. Even now she is in my arms, back in the rocking chair, exactly where she wanted to be the entire time. Tonight I was just tired though. I thought maybe she would just fall back asleep. When she didn't I felt picking her up and beginning all over would be surrender of sorts, to a baby. But now I see how stupid that thought was because I eventually did get her out and could have saved another 30 minutes by picking her up in the first place. Oh well, tomorrow is another night. Goodnight, Karina my little love, see you around 3 am.
