Uh-Oh!

I think the pool may overflow??? The weather here in "sunny,beachy CA" is the complete opposite right now! Don't get me wrong, I love it! I love snuggling, fires, hot cocoa, laying in bed and listening to the rain(if that ever happens) but, I don't like that our backyard that we've been working so hard on now looks like a tornado went through it. Our pool is about to overflow any minute, there's a lounge chair in the pool along with tree branches and a gazillion leaves, the umbrella broke in the wind and the kids little dollhouse/playhouse completely fell apart.......looks like Daddy has some work to do :)

I Love Fall!!!

My favorite season of them all:
pumpkins

warm meals/crockpot

chilly weather

no air conditioner

open windows and nice breezes

scarves

baking

trees changing color

slippers

Halloween/Thanksgiving

pie

snuggling with blankets and a fire

but sad it doesn't last for very long!! Oh Fall how I adore you!!

I Love You This Much!

So yesterday I was shopping with my mom in Home Goods and Riley spotted a Halloween bear that she had to have!

Riley: "mommy hand me that bear!"

Me: "no, you dont need that

Riley: "please mommy let me see it!"

Me: "how much do you love me?"

Riley: "this much" (stretching her arms out to the side)

Me: "thats it?"

Riley: "Mommy, I love you as much as my arms can reach, now hand me that bear!!!"

My oh my she is a determined little girl isn't she? I couldn't help but laugh at how cute she was when she said that :)
