We had a great week. Fall is just so darn beautiful around here! Love it. My sister was in town from Wisconsin for a few days so we spent a lot of time with the fam. Julianna had so much fun with "Auntie Stephanie". We all had a nice little faux Thanksgiving yesterday at Mimi and Poppy's also. It was SO lovely and we even went out on the boat for a little ride. Julianna wore herself plum out playing with Auntie Stephanie and Uncle Joey (Julianna missed you Auntie Fish!). She was so exhausted that she fell asleep on the car ride home yesterday evening, which she NEVER EVER does, then slept through the night. Of course she was up at 5:00 this morning rarin' to go :( Eek!!

Julianna is just so darn sweet these days. She will just come up to me and say, "I love you, Mama" and then move on. It just kills me! I really am the most blessed Mama in the world!! Also, just about every other thing that comes out of her mouth could make it to the blog. She is so stinkin' cute and really funny! I wish I could remember a quarter of the things she says. I try to write them down when I can, but I just forget so much! Maybe if the kid would sleep a little more, my brain wouldn't be mush! Anyway, here are a couple cute stories I did write down from this week:

***************

I was in the kitchen and Julianna ran in.

Julianna: Mama, some people have big tummies and some people have wittle ones.
Me: Yes, that's true.
Julianna: Yeah.

Then she ran out. I chuckled about that for several minutes. I did NOT ask her which category I fell into!

*************

Outside our condo there are some tree with some very beautiful bright orange leaves. They peaked a few days ago. As we walked outside Julianna's face lit up.

Julianna: Mama, look at the beautiful trees!
Me: Yes, they are VERY lovely.
Julianna: Who painted them??

Look at little Cinderella!




With Auntie Stephanie and Punkin in their fort!


This kid is such a mess! She INSISTED on wearing these SNOW boots yesterday. It was about 75 degrees!


With Poppy.


Checking out some flowers.


Coloring with "Uncle Joey!".


On the boat. Look at the outfit now - red sweater and orange hat added to dress and snow boots. What a hoot!









Snuggling with Auntie Stephanie on the boat.






Love her expression in this one. She looks ticked about something!




Licking the peppermint icing beater. Mimi and Auntie Stephanie thought Mama was a real spoilsport for not letter her lick the cake batter beater because of the raw eggs! Over my dead body! I'm sort of cuckoo about that stuff!!


More snuggling.


Playing in the pool with Uncle Joey.
