over the weekend

I made a huge batch of homemade applesauce and it made the house smell like early fall

I purchase some vintage items for Josie's Halloween costume...she and Levi have October birthdays so we always make a big deal about dressing up for their party 

I spent a long time discussing and dreaming about the future with Mr. Gough

I tried popcorn drizzled with coconut oil and sea salt per Joey's recommendation... so yum

I worked on some earrings for my best friends wedding

I watched Mary Poppins with the kids for the first time and they loved it - such a classic

I looked through many of your amazing ten on ten sets from the month - so much beautiful life captured

I ignored the laundry pile dribbling out of the laundry room

I mostly just enjoyed a lazy summer weekend, one of the last before the fall gets into full swing

you know just a little of this and that...so, what did you do over the weekend?

today was...

full to the brim

a wild morning of getting my three ready to head out the door

two cups of coffee to wake up

a trip to Seattle

sitting in traffic and singing to the radio with my babes

an hour and a half wait at the doctor before Simon's check up

my younger two hanging out with auntie Jenny and cousin Wes

a yummy lunch waiting after with lots of noise and the Mommies trying to hear each other speak

cupcakes from my favorite place and my new favorite flavor, Samoa

a long drive back home

worn out and thankful to see Daddy for an hour before he headed to worship practice

peanut butter sandwiches and apples for dinner, guilt free :)

dancing and making each other laugh before bed

stories prayers and goodnight kisses

...thankful for another day given to me freely, I am one blessed (and tired) Mama!
