Friday Things
1. After I got Joseph dressed to have lunch with my grandparents last Saturday, we realized he was in the perfect fall outfit and had to plop him next to some pumpkins on our front stoop for some pictures :)
2. For some reason, I thought that we changed clocks NEXT weekend, not this weekend. Now I feel wholly unprepared for darkness at 5:30pm.
3. Big news if you loved watching Bob Ross paint little trees… The Bob Ross YouTube Channel has released the full episodes of the entire first season on YouTube!
4. This story about a grandma sitting at her dining room table and waving to a bus full of students every day is so heartwarming and makes me miss my grandma.
5. Do you do Halloween movies? I’ve grown to really dislike scary movies, but I’ll watch Charlie Brown any day of the week!
6. Are you dressing up for Halloween tomorrow? We don’t usually do costumes, but we do have something planned for Joseph, of course!
7. Love these 19 Stealthy Products That’ll Protect All Your Things – some really creative stuff! The water bottles would be great for the gym!
8. Have you watched any of the World Series? I haven’t seen too much of it, but I’m rooting for Kansas City!
9. How amazing have the last couple of Homeland episodes been? The ending of the last one left me with my jaw dropped… I already can’t wait for Sunday night!
10. TGIF! Einstein has perfected the lazy begging pose…
I love reading your blog! Joseph and Einstein are so cute :)
Thank you Edye! :)
Hi, I love the baby blanket but the kit is a small fortune. Did you use the small yarn the pattern calls for or were you able to find another brand that was comparable with a good color selection? I haven’t had much luck so far and would love to hear what you used?

Hi Jamie, I’m using the recommended yarn, but bought it a little bit at a time since it’s taking me forever to finish it ;-)
Great picture of Joseph and Einstein! I do like to watch some Halloween movies – though I won’t be dressing up…lol…You should add Ghostbusters and Ghostbusters II to your list:)

Joseph is very cute! Hope you all have a Happy Halloween:)
I love watching the Bob Ross channel! His voice lulls me to sleep. :)
I have to echo the super cuteness of Joseph. I cannot believe I was “there” for his birth and look at him now! Geez, they are not tiny for long. Do Duke and Einstein love Joseph? Have a great Holiday season.
Hi Linda, They do! They are great big brothers :)
Every Friday, this is the fist email I open (don’t tell my boss).. just to see Joseph new shot. This is one of my favourites. You should take the same shot every year for keepsakes.
Well, now the our Blue Jays are done and the Cubbs also… not interested, although those Royals are amazing hitters..
“Tuning my broom”
Happy Halloween..
Michelle, if you love Charlie Brown, check out Kelly’s blog at Talk of the House. She used a Charlie Brown theme for her fall decorating. As a retired 1st grade teacher, her seasonal decorations are always a delight. Joseph is definitely growing up too fast. Love the puppy dogs.
Thank you for the weekly ‘Joseph’ fix—I look forward to his picture every Friday!
I’m not a scary movie fan, really, but I just watched Charlie Brown last night! Oh and give me all the Hocus Pocus because it brings me back!
Adorable picture of your sweet boy! And Go Royals!!!! #foreverroyal #takethecrown
Great picture of Joseph and the pumkins. He is such a cutie!
I also just realized we turn the clocks back this weekend. You are being optomistic about the arrival time of darkness. Our local weather reports have mentioned sunset Sunday evening will be at 4:38pm…ugh.
Beautiful pictures! Since you do so much baking, I thought I’d ask you. I love to make Libbey’s pumpkin roll, and have made it for years. Try as I might, I can’t keep it from cracking after I fill it and roll it. I’ve tried all the tips and tricks found on the Internet, but the same thing always happens. It still tastes great, but I’d like for it not to crack. Any suggestions?
Thanks!
Hi Donna, Make sure that you roll it when it’s still warm… I’ve found that if I let it cool a little bit it’s much more prone to cracking.
I am surprised the Halloween movie list didn’t include “Hocus Pocus!” It’s a bit cheesy, but I like it!
