A Grandfather’s Love, Demonstrated in Freeze Pops

on
As the weather starts to break a bit, we make plans for Spring Break, and I book my kids in a variety of Summer camps,  I am reminded that this summer will be different because we won't have my dad to share the summer with,  My dad kept these on the rotation, in every flavor. Not even sure how he gets them now because I think they are the equivalent of "kid crack"--made with artificial coloring, flavoring, and sugar . To my kids though, these freeze pops were love and summer wrapped in a bow.

Mommy Mondays: Preparing for Halloween

on
I consider sunny days in Pittsburgh akin to holidays. Today was a sunny day in Pittsburgh and I was thrilled! I greeted the day by seeing our jack-o-lanterns. They made me smile because I remembered our impromptu “Pumpkin Party” from the night before.
Andre loves enjoying the moment, which helps to make my life even sweeter. On Sunday after our run, he declared that we would be carving pumpkins in the evening.  He called our families and told them about the pumpkin carving plan and invited them to join us.  Because we were expecting a crowd, we had to prepare food for them. So, in an instant, our Sunday turned from relaxed to hectic, but it was so much fun!
Below are some photos from our visit to the pumpkin farm where we selected our pumpkins. I'll post some photos of the Jack-O-Lanterns soon!
Reflecting on my Sunday made my Monday a great one.
How are you getting ready for Halloween?!
