It is the middle of September and I am MISSING the beginning of Autumn. It makes me a bit sad. It is my favorite season.
At our house we have a ton of kids books. We LOVE Kevin Henkes!! I think we started with Lily's Purple Plastic Purse, we love to interchange our kid's names in a lot of the books, Emma for when Lily's teacher got married like Mr. P in second grade and Owen and his blanket for Jake...ok, so the Absolutely Perfect expression we got it from one of his books. So I am trying to make myself not get too terribly sad about missing Autumn time here in the south. I am going to list a lot of the things I think are ABSOLUTELY PERFECT!!!
The way Henry (yep, I think I wish we called Nolan by his first name) LOVES his baby sister Maggie, and he is really into baby dolls carrying them around and packing up his sparkly purse to take to the store. It always makes me smile!

Anna being so excited at the orthodontist yesterday, she has not been that happy in awhile. as a side note, we found out she is missing 3 permanent teeth, anyone else with that??
A great online sale 75% at fgmnk!! TEA collection! a miniboden $50 credit for filling out a survey!! I love kids clothes!! I used to love Gymboree, but now after having quite a few things fall apart and that there is too much to choose from, and EVERYONE else wears it. I no longer am an avid fan.
