Autumn Bucket List

Happy fall, everybody! Today is officially the first day of autumn. Holla! Time to whip out that seasonal decor, pick a pumpkin, and set out some mums! I'm so excited, because this is my favorite weather season of the whole year. I'm so ready for all things Fall.

Here's our bucket list for this wonderful, crisp season.

And speaking of bucket lists, here's the updated summer version. There were a few activities we didn't get a chance to cross off our list. Oh well. There's always next year!

Are you excited for autumn? What's on your fall to-do list? Are you sad to see summer go? Did you complete all of your favorite summer tasks before the weather turned chilly? Happy Friday!

Giggling Bubbles

I'm a firm believer in starting the weekend off on a high note, and I just truly think there's no better way to celebrate the end of a week than by enjoying the sweet sounds baby laughter! So here's this week's edition. It even features a funny dog as a bonus! Enjoy!

Hope you have a great weekend! Got any awesome plans? I'll be gaining a new sister! (Beat that!)

Friday

This.Is.Awesome. (In an awesomely terrible kinda way.)

What better way to celebrate the end of the week than by singing about it? Fun, fun, fun, fun.

Happy Friday! Hope you have a great weekend, partyin, partyin, yeah! (And I hope you are able to make your mind up about which seat to take!)

Finally Friday

I am so glad that it's finally Friday. You have no idea. This has been the longest.week.ever.

First of all, today was the tax deadline for those people who filed extensions on their taxes back in April, which means that this week has been a mini-April 15th here at the office. It's been crazy (on a smaller scale, but definitely still crazy.) Thankfully, it's all over. I'm so ready for the weekend.

But most of all, I'm ready for the weekend, because I get to see my husband! He has been out West with some friends all week hiking, backpacking, and climbing mountains in South Dakota and Wyoming. Yeah, seriously. (If I'm lucky, I'll be able to talk him into doing a guest post on the blog so he can tell us all about it and show off some of those awesome pictures he's been taking from the tops of mountains!)

He left last Saturday morning before I woke up, so for all intents and purposes, he's been gone since Friday. Which means it's officially been a week since I've seen him at all. No good. And I've barely been able to communicate with him since the West seems to be lacking in cell reception. (Lame.) They're on their way back right now, but since the drive roadtrip is so long, I won't get to see him until tomorrow. I know he's having a great time with the guys and has loved the experience, but I cannot wait to hug him!!

Furthermore, I'm so pumped for this weekend, because we're going out of town! Actually, Brad won't even be back in town before he goes out of town. Chester and I are meeting his posse in Louisville, where they'll hand him off to me. He'll switch clans and join us as we finish our trip to Indiana to visit family. Best of all, we're staying until Tuesday! I get a four day weekend! Holla! This is one week I can definitely say TGIF!

Hope you guys have a great weekend! Any awesome plans?

Goin' bananas

On our last bunch of bananas, I didn't take much notice to the Chiquita Banana sticker until Brad pointed it out to me.

He said, "I think Chiquita had a hidden camera in my house growing up, because that's exactly what my dad used to do every time we ate bananas! They must have finally embraced the reality of what people actually do with those stickers."

I hope you guys have a great weekend! Feel free to go a little bananas!

Brad and I are heading to Illinois to visit our niece and nephew! (Oh, and their parents, too.) It's been since Easter when we saw them last, and I've about hit my limit before I start having withdrawals.

Happy Friday!

Happy Day!

Guess why Chester and I are so excited...

Because it's Friday!

And it's bee-YOOUU-tiful outside!

And it's going to be an extended weekend!

And my husband doesn't have to work any of it!

And we get to spend time with good friends and people we love!

And we (the humans, not Chester) are gunna eat hamburgers and hotdogs and watch fireworks!

If those aren't all things to get excited about, I don't know what is!

Do you have awesome plans for your 4th of July weekend?
