First Frosty Day

So today when I walked outside, I could finally see my breath. I also had frost on my windshield. It was exciting! I love the fall season. I love the changing of the colors on the trees, the quails I see in the yards in the mornings, and the crispness in the air. I love being bundled up in coats and socks. Oh I just love this time of year! I am surprised that just last month someone pointed out that my favorite colors which are red, yellow, and orange are actually fall colors! I have had those colors for years and have never made that connection.

I am stressing out in my class online at CBC. I still have 13 words I need to memorize tonight and am sitting here writing my second blog instead. I have folded laundry all around me that needs to be put away and I still have a jello salad to make, but I wanted to put just one more blog up for today. I think that I will really come to love this. Oh the list goes on and on. We just got the internet today and so hence the reason why I am still on the computer instead of studying.

I am extremely bored at work. Over the weekend I didn't receive any new cases while the other building received multiple cases. So the days drag on and the hours linger longer. I love my job though. I love the people I get to work with and the typical 9-5 bankers hours. The only thing that stinks is that twice a day I have to drive to Pasco to drop off Landon to daycare and then come all the way back to Kennewick for work and home. So I will need to start checking out other daycares in the area to save on time and gas, but that is yet another thing to add to the already long to-do-list.

I have two pumpkins out in the garden that are starting to turn orange. I didn't know that pumpkins start out green and then eventually turn orange. I think it's so cool. The funny thing though is that I just bought like 5 strawberry plants this summer... no pumpkin plants, so I don't know how the pumpkin plant got there and why it started to take over the garden area. I love it though. I think that next year I will be planting more of them, but start a little earlier than I did this year.

Landon is so cute. He is growing like a weed and loves his new shoes. He is in a stage where he gets possessive about his things. Maybe that is because of this "stage" or maybe it's because Brielle (my roommates daughter) acts like a bully sometimes and likes to take things away and so he has learned to be this way. He really likes to be up on my hip lately too while I'm doing things. Today we got home from work and errands and he immediately started asking for an "affil," otherwise known to us as an apple. Landon loves apples lately and can't get enough of them. He about got down to the seeds on the one that he ate this evening before bedtime.

Another funny thing that happened with Landon is the other night as Andrea and I were chatting away, like usual, Landon fell off his bed (which is only a foot above the ground so not far) and instead of crying, he proceded to get up and tried to climb back in bed. You could tell he was still half asleep and couldn't really function correctly. It was so darn cute. And then when he'd tried that for a while without success he turns around with his blanket in his hand and with his arms up says, "Mom!" :) What a little cute stinker! I loved it.

I'm finally going to get some studying done before I crash!
