Five Things Friday

Fall is certainly in the air.

Last week we had lots of outdoor fun.

We went to the Zoo with our cousins...

We went to the park...

 

 

We gathered pumpkins...



The nice lady at The Market at Poplar Estates even let us feed her hens and rabbits. So fun!

 

And my fall allergies brought on a bacterial infection that brought on an asthma attack that landed me in the ER on Monday...

Yuck.

No pictures of that. :)

So, this week has been a week of laying low. A week of recovery.

Here's a Five Things Friday recap of what I've done all week...besides allowing the girls to go through all our baby wipes and watch way too much Nick Jr.

1. I went Pinterest crazy. Why not? Here are some of my recent fallish faves...

2. I read {am reading} some good books. I tend to have some sort of book ADD that causes me to not be able to focus on one book at a time. These are the ones I'm reading right now. I recommend both.

3. I got in some good journaling/quiet time. Isaiah 43 provided some recovery for the soul. Good stuff.

4. I opened up orders for Turkeys yesterday.
Got five on the books. Yay! Email your order to chipperchickie@gmail.com
if you'd like me to add you to the list.

 

5. And lastly, I rested. The whole house is a complete wreck...but I got in some good naps.

Turkey Burlees Are Back!

 

 Remember this guy?

 

 

He was my most popular {and my personal favorite} burlee last fall. I think I made a little over 50 of these guys last year.

 

 

Well, he's back!

 

But, only for a limited time.

 

$35 each.

 

Orders end Nov. 1.

 

I have a few listed on the ole' esty shop, but also feel free to email your order to chipperchickie@gmail.com.

 

Happy fall to all!

 

 

Ballerina Girl

Anne Catherine is a ballerina.

 

And she loves it!

 

Every morning she asks if we can go to ballet.

 

 

She and her best friend, Lucy, are in the same class, so that makes it double fun!

 

 

She wanted a ballerina bun...and she gets to wear pink {her favorite color} from head-to-toe.   

 



 

I love little girls! :)

 

Timeout Shmimeout

Maggie has started having fits.

 

So, she's also started having timeouts.

Below is a picture of what happened during her first timeout.

 

She was originally sitting in the checked wing back to the right of the buffet.

 

I walked out of the room and AC came running to tell me "Maggie's on the table!"

This is what I found...

We don't do timeouts in the dining room any more. :)

 

 

Tiny Dancer

Maggie has got some moves!

Dancing...

And walking...  

Magpie

My little Magpie.

Maggadee.

Deedle.

Angel baby.

Sugar angel.

Sugar.

Maggie.

Mags.

Nugget.

Sister.

{Yes, we have a lot of nicknames at our house. Ha!}

Now, let's take a moment to reflect on those cheeks...

And those thighs...

Thank you, Deanna, for capturing little Maggie so perfectly at a year old!

And, we have some big Maggie news...

She's a WALKER!

Here are some action shots...notice the determination in her face. {Ha! Love it!}

Maggie Monday

Maggie's first pig tails!

PS - The pork dish from Friday actually turned out well {despite the smell}. But, if you decide to try the recipe, make sure to buy the correct cut of meat...boneLESS pork shoulder. :)
