Playtime!

Temps are set to drop overnight- ewwww.

We have been enjoying the Indian Summer here and it has been beautiful. Vivian got to play outside and swing for a couple hours and was so happy. Papaw Maxie played outside with her yesterday and they had a good time playing on the slide and her swingset.

Grandma Michele was here too the last 2 days, and cleaned our house for us... we are so grateful! She helped me get caught up on laundry too. Yay! Anyway, she watched baby Henry for a hour or so while Vivian and I got out of the house for a little shopping.

We went to Target and found a cute baby exercise mat and 'play gym.' Vivian was a little more excited about it than Henry, but he did bat a couple of the toys around for a few minutes before scrunching up his face and crying for mommy.

Snooze.......... so not excited about this whole 'exercise' thing.

Vivster and baby brother enjoying the pretty toys.

Awww.... she loves him. (for now- mwa ha ha.)

Today Vivian and I made some spooky cookies from a cake mix. They are delicious and we sent some with Mamaw and Papaw Maxie when they left this afternoon. Nick has eaten quite a few. The cake mix cookie idea worked out really well. We had a boxed cake mix and followed the directions for cookies on the side. It was so easy, I wonder why I bake cookies the 'hard' way. Anyway, they turned out great and we frosted them with orange frosting for Halloween.

I think we like sweets and baked goods in our house. :)
