Falling Into Autumn

You know Fall is coming when the fair comes into town. I always love going to the fair, just to walk around and look at all the neat crafts and things, but this year my hubby wouldn't go with me, so I bribed my brother and sis-in-law into coming with me. I also brought Uriah and we had a great time. We took Uriah to the petting zoo and he got to feed some goats. He LOVED that! He loved looking at all the animals.

Uriah wasn't very excited about feeding the goats at first, but once his auntie helped him, he didn't want to stop.

Uriah found a cage full of ducks. He kept pointing and saying, "Look! Ducks!"

They had little goats wandering around the petting zoo without being caged up. One walked up to my stroller and started munching on the straps. Uriah loved feeling their tongues on his palm.

McKee's Pets had puppies up for sale, and they would let you pick one out and hold it. This picture almost makes me wish I had the money to buy Uriah a puppy (^_^)

We had a really good time at the fair. We got chocolate covered strawberry kabobs and they were absolutely delicious! I hope they have them next year because I will gobble them all up. If you want to have a meal at the fair though, you'd better bring a lot of cash. I got a cheeseburger for $7 and it didn't have anything on it..just the meat, cheese and bun. I definitely won't make that mistake again.

This coming Saturday I will be hosting a baby shower for my long-time best friend. We have been friends since kindergarten. She has 3 little girls, but she is finally going to have a baby boy! I have been waiting for her to have a baby boy for a long time, so that I could throw her a baby shower. I handmade her invitations and this is what my favorite ones looked like.

I made 32 invitations in total and I still have enough paper to make 8 more cards, but I used up every last button that I bought and I think they turned out very nice. There were some that I wasn't proud of, but I worked hard and I know my friend will appreciate them.

I haven't really picked up my camera as much as I usually do (you wouldn't know with all the pictures I have posted!) but I knew I would be missing a big picture opportunity if I didn't catch this...

Jordyn doesn't watch the tube very often, but when you get something on that she likes, this is what she does. She sits and sits and sits and stares and stares and stares. I think it is so cute when she pays so much attention to the TV like that. Good thing she doesn't do it very often.

With us living in a bigger apartment now, I realized that the bigger the space, the bigger the messes that can be made. Uriah would dump out his old toy box and every single toy in it would hit the floor and get spread around. Well, I decided that was that, I was tired of picking up everything! So....

...old toybox...

new toybox!

I saw this toy organizer at Wal-Mart and I decided to give it a try. It sure has been nice! Instead of dumping all the toys out, he only pulls out the bin he wants to play with, which is usually the train or car bin. It has really kept the mess down in his room and made it easier for us to clean up at the end of the day. And the bottom row is Jordyn's toys, and now that they are organized he doesn't bother them anymore. Oh, I love my toy organizer!
