Fall Fun

Today the girly and I decided to head out in the brisk air to enjoy some sunshine and blue sky.  We walked all the way to the post office and mailed a letter.  I didn't even bother bringing the stroller because half the time she just wants out to walk anyways.  She did great! She held my hand for almost all of it and walked those little legs all the way to the post office.  At the corner, she walked in front of me, turned around and stuck her arms in the air and let out a big "Up-ppp-p!".  She'd had enough.  Her poor little legs.  It was slow going, but I was kind of glad.  I enjoyed the heat of the sun and all the colorful trees in people's yards.  I love the Fall time!!  On the way home, she walked, snuggled mommy, walked some more, and then walked REALLY slow.  She did so good.  When we got home, we played in the yard for a bit.  She found an "App-o" on the ground and carried it around for a while.  It was great to get outside and enjoy some sunshine!

The only bummer is that I had a big smudge on my camera lens, and it didn't agree with the sunshine.  Oh well....  We had fun anyways.  Things have been pretty slow going around our house this week as you can probably guess from the minimal blog entries.  We spend a lot of our morning in our Pj's.  I lay on the couch and feel like a horrible mother while Camilla is entertained by her toys and cartoons.  It's so hard being sick all the time.  I can't wait for this part of the pregnancy to come to an end.  I miss my super clean house and my energy and my food tasting good, and my normal sense of smell (just to name a few).  Although, yesterday I finally felt like I had an appetite. I just keep looking at Camilla and thinking to myself it's all worth it!! 

Yesterday we were cruising around Wal-Mart and I saw some awesome Halloween things!! They had super fun baking pans, lots of fun decorations, and all the costumes out.  It made me really excited!! I can't wait to do some Halloween Baking and decorating!  I love celebrating all the different holidays.  The best part about Halloween, is that it means Christmas is right around the corner! I have some fun ideas for Christmas this year.  I can't wait! (Especially for the Christmas music, I've already had some songs floating around my head)

I'm excited to make Camilla some Christmas Jammies this year.  I just love her so much.  Yesterday, she wanted my attention all day.  I would go do the dishes, and she would come around my legs and try to push me away from the sink and complain a little.  So I would bend down, take her hands and ask her "What's wrong my girl?" and she would come over and give me a hug and sit on me.  She just wanted some lovin'.  I was trying to clean up earlier in my bedroom and she was helping and then seemed like she wanted to play.  So we played, she'd run away giggling and I'd chase her, or tickle her.  I love hearing her giggle (especially when it's almost uncontrollable). I'm so glad I listened to the sweet whisperings of the spirit and took the time to enjoy my little girl yesterday instead of just trying to get all my work done.  I hope I never miss out on those special little moments and that I can be there for her when she needs me.  She's such a little ball of energy and brings so much joy to my life!

She's such a sweetheart.  It's so much fun to be a Mum!  She snuggled with me after her Bubba last night until she fell asleep.  It was the best.  I love when she does that.  I just sat, and soaked it all in.  She's been sleeping great every night, but has been waking up earlier and earlier each day.  Mike is enjoying it though because it means he gets to see her before he leaves for work.  She sure loves her daddy.  He brought her in to snuggle with me this morning, but when he left the room, she started crying.  It was sweet.  She is her Daddy's girl.  This weekend we are off to the acreage again to visit with family and catch conference.  I am so excited to hear the talks that have been prepared for us.
