Monday Fun-Day!

With Colton starting preschool this fall Ella and I are on our own three mornings a week. I have been using this time to head to the gym and then run errands to take advantage of having only one child in tow. Although this has been so nice I came to the realization (thank you to Andrea for the reminder) that I don't do the things with Ella that I did with Colton when he was an only.
 
 So this week we are making some changes around here. I am going to try one to two times a week to take Ella on special little outings just the two of us. Today we went to open gym and Ella had such a wonderful time. It was so cute to watch her bounce all over the place and it was so fun to just have some quality one on one time with her. Love you my little jumping bean.

 




 
 
Part two of Monday Fun-Day was a baking treat with my littlest man. When Ella was napping C and I decided that since it was October 1st we needed the house to feel like fall (despite it being 80 degrees outside).... so we whipped up a batch of pumpkin spice muffins. I love how much Colton loves to help me bake... he is such a great little helper and I love having him by my side.





A few more from today just because.
 
Love Her.
Love how much he loves her.
Watchin' the sunset.

So so so pretty. I love that one of Ella laying down that is B&W. So sweet.

Great job mama! There is so much to do and get done....these things aren't easy but well worth it!
