Happy Thursday and Happy October guys! I hope you are all doing well.

A Fun Weekend + I Think I’m Eating Too Much Food!
Well, I have a funny little story to share with you guys! It might not be funny to all y’all and it might be one of those “you had to be there” stories, but I’ve been chuckling about it all day!

He kept it on his head for a while and if it happened to fall off, then big brother made sure to put it back on. Anyway, what made me laugh Continue Reading…

Well, this little cutie started KINDERGARTEN yesterday! Auuughh! I really can’t believe he is so big. He is such a sweetie pie!
