With Dan starting school, his internship - and his business picking up steam - we've had a hectic month at home adjusting to a new schedule. Isn't organization a wonderful thing? If only someone else could arrange everything and I could just reap the rewards of an organized schedule, closet and life.
With schedules being more structured than we're used to - I've tried to make an effort to be more easygoing. To sleep in on the weekends, have two beers on a school night, stay in bed and watch cartoons with Ingrid and forgo lunch in favor of baking cookies.
Let's not lie. This isn't really a huge departure from my "normal."
Anyways, here are some September highlights from my iPhone (sidebar: any recommendations for a decent non-point-and-shoot camera?):
Celebrating my best friend's 30th birthday with cocktails (and later over manicures.)
Watching Ingrid's face light up as she watched the kites takeoff from Milwaukee's Lakefront Kite Festival.
Ingrid's love for babies continues to grow. She tests our swaddling skills and insists on giving them a bottle and "pupcakes" (aka, plastic cupcakes.)
Savoring lemon cucumbers. A cucumber with the zing (and shape of) a lemon. Seriously amazingly good.
You can bet that I stuffed those figs with (Kirkland) goat cheese and called it dinner too.
Never one to say no to anything free - I gladly took this hand-me-down car from a coworker. Ingrid has mastered backing up and is trying her best to move forward. She has mastered the art of turning the wheel - and the horn.
One of my favorite ways to start the day: a long walk to the park with Harper and Ingrid.
Hoping there is some sort of nutritional benefit to pumpkin-flavored things - because I've consumed a few pumpkin-flavored things.
Children's literature just gets better and better. Ingrid has a thing for The Foot Book and "Moo Baa, Lalala" - and loves to recite her favorite phrases.
Regardless of political affiliation, taking Ingrid to see the President, was memorable, inspiring and uplifting.
Ring ring! The phone's for you and it's probably Henry from daycare. Or grandma.
It doesn't get anymore Wisconsin than spending a day at the fair: eating cheese curds, getting an Apple Pie Baked in a Paper Bag from The Elegant Farmer and - gazing at cows:
A sweet end to a sweet month.
This month I'm looking forward to welcoming fall, carving pumpkins and taking Ingrid to go Trick or Treating for the first time.
What are you looking forward to this month?
