Mud Kitchen Mayhem Not Included

 Well, I found the thing that still can get your toddlers REALLY wet even with rain gear on... Mud Kitchen MAYHEM.

Mommy? Can Thatcher and I play in the mud kitchen? 

SO sweet. SO innocent

Well of course little chefs!

Little did I know while taking quick pictures of our still ridiculously pretty flowers

And mediating sharing fights on who gets to stir the kitchen water behind me

Reminding them that there is literally water ALL around, I filled two containers of water, and there are two spatulas... 

MAYHEM was in full force in the kitchen

Im talking BOULDER splashes, fights over the cauldron and 

Overall gremlins in the rain behavior.

And WHEWW buddy was I glad we were outside.

After their "creation" was finished and peace returned to the land with the magic potion of kindness, we all donned new dry clothes and shared a meal of peace. Thank goodness for days outside and lots of comfort food for lunch!

Toddler rain suits can only be responsible for so much!!!

Mayhem not included.

Always,

Amelia

Thatcher Puppy!

 Welp! It is official! I have another puppy in the making! Thatcher puppy LOVES our pre-lunch routine to get everyone's sillies out before we sit down to eat. Tiny humans, havanese, and doodles alike- we ALL barge outside and get to zoomies o'clock!

To wind down recess time, I love to sit on the swing and let the animals and toddlers slowly gravitate their way towards me until we are all sitting and gathered without anyyyy yelling. I say "It's about lunch time! I am going to go swing!" and head to our bench swing.

Thatcher now goes "Swing swing! RUFF RUFF SWING SWING!"

And makes a run for the swing

With his doggie call, everyone now comes to the swing quite quickly 

After all puppies stick in a pack!

RUFF RUFF - tongue panting for emphasis

RUFF RUFFFF Mama!

Looks like we have another puppy in the family!

Ohhhh Hazel Puppy!! Thatcher Puppy!

Time for lunch <3

Always,

Amelia 

Let the Games Begin

 It feels like it has been ages since I have seen Maverick and Ernie really play together. It's been mostly independent play or mostly one sided fetch with Ernie with the occasional catch by Maverick.

But the first "chilly" day??

Let the wrestling games begin!!!

Getcha Getcha is in full doodle force

We've got floppy ears 

And big ole puppy paws for booping

RAWWWWR. Go Maverick go!!

Getcha Getcha Getcha is back!!!

Another reason why fall is a PAWfect season!

Let the games begin!

Always,

Amelia

Apples for Snow White

As you know, Hazel is VERY into picking out her outfits and hairstyles, BUT now our character development is reaching even farther...

Because when I got Hazel downstairs for breakfast in her Snow White outfit and asked her what she wanted to eat she went "Something with apples of course! Snow White LOVES apples Mommy!" - And no she has never seen anything with Snow White besides a sticker book but she knows Snow White has to have apples! This morning was not the morning to crush her 3 year old spirit and tell her of the forces of evil or poison apples... SO

I got to peeling and chopping 2 apples, added some butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon and set it to simmer on the stove

And made waffles

For an apple waffle supreme fit for Snow White herself.

Because when you are Snow White... You MUST eat apples!

Obviously Mommy

Whew!

Always,

Amelia

See You Caturday

Our little Devon Rex kittens are heading to their new homes tomorrow.

We will so miss their cute silly antics.

I know their new families are MEOWY excited to meet them!

We will see you so soon!

Don't forget my favorite toy!

Happy See You Caturday!!! 

Raise Your Hand

 The morning was crisp and fall was finally in the air. I could think of asking only one thing while we were eating breakfast...

Who wants to go to Grandma and Grandpa's house... 

Raise your hand!

Thatcher: "Papa?! Paaaapaaaaaaa"

First we HAD to visit the swings

Hazel has been begging to go swing swing for weeks and it has either been too hot or flooding

Thatcher took this time to explore 

And follow Grandpa everywhere

Plus the tractor

Need I say more?

"Beep Beeeeeep!"

After a fun Papa and Lala lunch we headed back home to do some doggie recess before naptime

Thatcher is getting all his steps in following the doggies with "Ruff ruff! RUFFF RUFFFFF!" and handing them sticks. His giggles afterwards are the best.

The dogs give his graham cracker hand sticks a 10/10

"Tiny humans are the best!"

SLURP

A PAWfect day

Spent with family - both human and furry alike!

Raise your hand if you want more days like these!

ME ME ME ME ME!!

Always,

Amelia
