Today, as I was driving to work, I just happened to be behind this lawn-care truck that had all of the yard equipment in the attached trailer. However, it could just as easily have been a float in a parade, as tons of little, fall-colored leaves billowed out behind it as we drove along. It was such a beautiful sight, to see all this "confetti" streaming out around my car. I really did feel like I was in a parade, as random (who best to be random than myself?) as that may sound. I love Autumn. The moderate weather, colorful foliage, crisp evenings, and some great holidays (I love Thanksgiving, especially!)-- what's not to love?!

On another SRG random note-- have you heard any music by Sandra Boynton? She's the author and illustrator of a great collection of kids' books. My little one has quite of few of them already. But I had heard that the music was good, so I checked out "Philadelphia Chickens" and "Blue Moo" from the library. They are HILARIOUS! The ones I love the best are the ULPB tracks from "Blue Moo," and the "Silly Lullaby" from the "Philadelphia Chickens" album. In fact, I am thinking about adding in the Silly Lullaby to my little girl's bedtime routine because it's so cute. If you haven't heard any of these, I highly recommend them! They're still a little too "old" for my little one, but I certainly enjoy listening to them! There are also a lot of famous names behind the voices-- check out the label for more info. Enjoy!

Changes...

So many things have changed since I last wrote. And actually, that's probably more because it's been, what two and a half months since I last posted!

My baby cutie pie (who, when I call her pumpkin, crooks her thumb and looks at it because it sounds like Thumbkin!) is growing well, and really becoming the toddler on her quest for independence. It's amazing that the little mouse that we used to have has become a roaring lion. It's true; I'm hoping that we can soon teach her the art of modulating the volume of her voice!

My honey cutie pie and I have actually switched schedules; he works during the day and I work the second shift. This schedule works out beautifully for me because I get to stay home with Babykins up until 2pm every workday! I love it. The only thing that I don't like is that it's going to get harder and harder for me to leave the baby every day... My dear sweet man has, of course, mastered the schedule change. He works 8 hours in comparison to my 6 hours at work, but still manages to go pick up the baby and takes care of her evening/night routine, has dinner, does stuff around the house, and still has time to unwind before I get home. How does he do it?! :]
