Pumpkin patch field trip!

Phew!  I can't believe I survived. Dylan and I were paired with Julie (the blonde). Upon assignment, the teacher said, "Sorry.  It's going to be a challenge."

Julie, Dylan, Emese's, and Lily.

More house pictures.

The 1/2 bookcase that replaces the previous floor to ceiling wall.

Wall separating kitchen and dining room...  Gone. I might appreciate some separation one day but we are really enjoying being able to have "family time" while all doing different things in different rooms. 

Kitchen. No bar stools yet.  Maybe next year. 

I don't LOVE some of the appliances. The oven sensors are very sensitive. Every time I lean against the counter in front of the oven, the oven light sensor is activated. ANNOYING.  And the dishwasher...  Not my favorite at all!  The lower rack comes off its track very easy. 

Living room pictures.

Our living room!  We are loving the extra space and open floor plan.

Media cabinet. So great to have everything out of sight!

Dylan's room.

Finally, the house is somewhat clean and put together.

Dylan's bathroom. Her room used to be the master.

Dylan's desk area.

Her 2 closets!!

I haven't purchased clothes for Dylan for a while.  This is why!!!

Miscellaneous Things About Dylan.

1.  Dylan does not like to be called "young".  If you call her "young lady", she will say "I am NOT young!"

2.  Immediately after waking up, Dylan has been known to say, "I did not sleep at all last night."  Hmm...

3.  She is really into Play Doh right now. I am definitely going to get her some play doh toys. 

4.  She says "the other day" when she means tomorrow.

Bridgeport Village.

What a beautiful fall Sunday. We went to Bridgeport Village after Dylan's nap for some play time.

By the way...  There's not a scratch on her head. She ran into a pillar at the store and wanted a bandaid because it hurt. I have cheap WinCo bandaids for times like this. They don't stick that well.  And that's ok for pseudo injuries.

Friends!!
