Dishpan Hands

There are a few things that I wish people had told me about having a kid. One of the biggest ones is that at 10 months your dish use will increase slightly...everyday...until it reaches a mighty creshendo at 13 months. We are going through so many bottles, cups, plates and bowls now, that we are either doing dishes all day or it takes an hour to get through a day's worth.

Why does this vex me so, you ask? Well we are stuck in the 1940's over here at 1316 Lucile Ave. and have no dishwasher. My hands ache half way through a dish cleaning frenzy and not being a habitual lotion user, this is tragic! I never understood the dish glove thing. They seemed to go the way of the pantyhose but now I am buying into that movement and I am going to get some pronto to save these mits from looking like my 96 year old great grandmother's.


In the end, it is all for this little bug so it is worth it but I can't wait until she can start doing them!

Pumpkin Time

It is my favorite time of the year...FALL! Actually I guess I just like the change and I love the holidays so I see fall as the gateway to over eating and hanging out with the people I love.



We had the chance to take Camille to a real city-fied petting zoo and pumpkin patch last weekend. It was complete with...wait for it...fake animals and asphalt. Just how we like it!


We had a great time anyway although Cam was terrified of the real animal portion of our adventure.







Of course I took the opportunity to dress her in my idea of fall fashion nirvana and everyone thought she was a boy. I must admit she does look a little like a mini James Dean.
