Our first real Fall weekend... cool weather, chili, pumpkins, and football.
It started Friday night by getting Xavier from the babysitter. When I picked him up, I talked a little bit with the sitter about his day, and he hadn't yet realized I was there. After I walked over to him and said "Hi", he stopped playing, got excited (and showed it by breathing heavily), and speed-crawled around the obstacle that was between us. Then he crawled up my legs and reached up to me, smiling and laughing. Aww, so adorable. Someday, looking back on it, I will miss this... :)

We slept in on Saturday morning. By "slept in" I only mean 1 hour, but in toddler parenthood, 1 hour is HUGE!! Saturday was filled with family time, couch snuggles, and a trip to Target.
Target trips are less dangerous when the husband is there supervising what lands in my basket. As you can see, only necessities made it to our cart (and Xavier shows no discrimination for what goes in his mouth).
Saturday evening, our street had its annual Block Party. We made some new friends, stuffed ourselves with chili, and caught up on the neighborhood happenings. Throw in a Heinekin keg and Kendall Jackson and I'd say it was a win for everyone.
On Sunday, we met up with some friends for brunch (blueberry and chocolate Belgian waffle, if you're curious)

and I put the finishing "fall-inspired" touches on our back porch.

Sunday night, while out for dinner, Xavier (once again) made friends with the waitress. She high-five'd him when they met and the next time she walked by, he threw his arm up, extended his hand, looked straight at her, smiling, waiting for a high-five. She left him hanging as she raced by to wait on another table. But all the laughs from the tables around us caught her attention, she ran back to hit it. Mr. Personality.
Looking back on our weekend, it's the best we've had in about 2 months. Up til now, Xavier has always used his weekends to catch up on sleep and he was usually in a cranky mood. When this boy doesn't get his sleep, he is turrible to be around (kinda like his Mama!). Moving him out of daycare has given us our little guy back! Looking back on our weekend, Sunday night, Steve says to me:
S: Ah, it's so nice that Buddy is back to normal. I really do have a beautiful life.
Me: Beautiful wife?
S: ....yes
(good answer! haha)
It was a fabulous (Fall-feeling) weekend!
