I just had the best Friday with my Midge!It was actually my favorite day as a Mommy to date.After the Hus left for work, the little one and I headed out to my favorite local spot for some pumpkins and play time.
For the first time (pathetic I know) I let him just run around.
I let him get dirty.
I let myself sit and watch him do whatever he wanted to do
(until it included throwing the little pumpkins like they were balls.)
He stuck his hands in the hay...
He filled his trick-or-treat bucket with hay and dumped it all over his head.
He went through the kiddie hay maze...
and made it out all by himself.
Before I knew it, the tourists were swarming our spot and we had been playing together for 2 hours. I left there with a dirty, happy boy in tow feeling like, "This Mom stuff is SO wonderful!" I had to make the decisions to let the house work go, to let the chores escape from my mind. I had to choose him and it was an awesome choice.So not only did I have a good Mommy day, I really had fun during his nap time!
I have seen so many Fall projects on so many of your blogs that I have been MORE than a little inspired.
So...I did a few.
Oh it felt good to have a little creative fun again!
Happy Weekend, Happy Crafting, Happy Mom-ing, Happy Fall!!
love it, Legs - Happy Mommy-day....good for you! May you have many many more days like this. I so wish that my daughter was home with me and we can do fun things like this on any given day......It flies by - enjoy it while it lasts!

Thanks for entering the giveaway! Isn't it amazing how being a Mom changes your whole idea on holidays and seasons(well, and only just everything)? It's like for the briefest of moments we get to relive little things of our childhood, through our kiddos. Every little thing that excites my little boy excites me. Even if it is just cheerios. Love your blog, and I'll be back!
