We have turned our clocks back one hour and confused Lincoln's sleep pattern. Halloween is over and winter is moving closer. We woke up to frost Sunday morning and put on our sweaters. This weekend was filled with pumpkin cookie baking, grandma visits, grocery stores, a handmade pillow, a first word, our car inspection, Rockport Ma, trick or treating, cousins from Oregon, homemade meals, a long drive to western mass while listening to Tracy Morgan, a surprise party for my friend Justin, and a hawk eating a squirrel carcass.
Halloween was Lincoln's magic first word day! We were playing in his room when our cat Count Hot Chocolate Bear ran up the stairs to say hello. Lincoln became very excited at the sight of her and flopped his limbs around and giggled. Then he pointed and said"cat!!!" What a cute first word and on Halloween! I don't even know what my first word was.
Today is Sarah Smiths birthday!!! Sarah was my advisor/professor in college and now she's just my lovely book maker/funny drawing maker/beer and ice cream pal.
The craft fair is over. It was nice to see our friends and the overwhelming amount of cool stuff people are making. Bill and I stood nervously at our table in the freezing cold for many hours. I bought some gifts for my friends Rhea and Peter's baby that is due in March and traded a doll for a beautiful scarf handmade by my friend Sara. Now we have christmas and Bill's birthday to look forward to. I want to make ginger bread for my family and some little ornaments and a christmas village. I took photographs of Lincoln with the intention of getting a holday cards printed but we decided it's not number one or two on our december priority list. Saturday we are picking out trees with grammy (one for grammy and one for us). Then we are heading home to set it up and drink some hot chocolate and listen to some festive music (the yummy cakes christmas).
In other blueberry pancake news, The Green Egg Shop in Manchester, Ma bought some of my stuffed creatures to sell! It is a beautiful modern warm feeling shop with lots of great things for little ones. The owner Tracey makes hand embroidered onesies!!
