Fall Fever

The weather is beginning to cool down and I've heard whispers of people who have already gotten their first pumpkin spice latte of the season, so I have officially got a case of FALL FEVER!  This weekend I got some of my pumpkin and fall decorations out and bought a mum for our porch.

I also made a yummy batch of pumpkin chip muffins last night. They are so good! I ate 3 after dinner when they were nice and warm out of the oven - despite the fact that I was already full! I brought some in for my co-workers today & they all love them!

We had a great weekend. Friday night we met Kimmy, Craig, and Haylee for dinner and ice cream. Haylee is my little buddy! She added a picture of me to her "All About Me" poster for school - I thought that was so sweet! Saturday I took Lucy to get her stitches out and she was such a happy girl! I had to laugh at the vet's office b/c she has a bright orange sticker on her file that says "WILL BITE"... Bad Lucy!! After the vet appointment, I cleaned the house and went grocery shopping, and then I picked lunch up for me and Chris at this place called The Cheddar Box Cafe. It was yummy! He says it is our new Saturday lunch spot!

Saturday night we had dinner with Chris's parents at Mark's Feedstore and then got some frozen yogurt. It's tradition! Sunday we slept in (shame on us!) and were pretty lazy all day. I fixed us lunch and we watched the movie Hitch. In the early afternoon, we decided to enjoy the beautiful weather and take Lucy to the park. Not to mention we decided to weigh ourselves and I discovered that I have now gained 17 pounds! Eek! So I said, "Let's go for a walk!" We walked around Seneca Park for a little while and then headed home.

I am so excited this week -- Thursday is my ultrasound & Saturday is our gender reveal party! Grace has been busy planning & I just know that little miss crafty is going to have everything so cute!

One last thing - I'm not sure if Lucy knows that there is a baby in my belly or not. But she sure is acting awfully sweet -- she cuddles right up with my belly when we are sitting on the couch. Baby's first hug!
