Don’t you love warm, fall days!  We’ve been lucky to have an amazingly beautiful couple of days. Warm sun, slight breeze, colorful scenery….but with a polar freeze upon us, these days are numbered. So with that in mind, we made the most of it. 

Miniature golf, yes please. 

Swinging like a monkey, yes please.  

Climbing a small mountain, yes please

Preparing the deck for winter, I guess, it has to be done…sigh

So, lately someone is totally into role playing. I mean, a boy can’t take the swing apart without a hard hat. And he loves to be paw patrol or robo bots. In fact, he proudly announced that when he grows up, he wants to be Optimus Prime.  Now Mommy, in all her wisdom had no idea about this Optimus Prime person/thing…but from what I gather it’s a big deal in the transformer world. Do you know how hard it is to walk out of Toys R Us with said Optimus…all with the little guy shopping for cousin and friend’s birthday gifts. Luckily for me, the boy is easily distracted by ALL TOYS.  And trust me, he’s pretty sure that he needs ALL TOYS. 

Which leads me to Christmas. Me thinks the day of saying just get him a car or firetruck are long gone….somehow, the boy has been totally commercialized and wants to make a detailed list for Santa. Darn you retail shopping and those mind numbing, addictive ads!  And don’t get me started with Christmas decorations before Halloween, really??? Good Grief Charlie Brown. 

Finally, we celebrated a totally awesome Grandmom’s birthday last weekend.  The little guy is really, really lucky to have such a wonderful person in his life.
