FRIDAY 15 – HALLOWEEN

With October just around the corner, it is time to get into the Halloween spirit. Dylan wants to be a firefighter for Halloween, go figure! And if he gets his way, Alexis will be his fire dog.  Before that request came to light, I was thinking more along the lines of something girly like these for her:

Ladybug, Owl, and Strawberry are all from Carters.  Tutu Ladybug and Lamb are from PBK.

To keep the little ones in the spirit all month long, how cute are these?

Headbands – CharlieCocos, tutu outfit – Carters, tee – Gap, boy pajamas – Gap, girl pajamas – Janie and Jack

I love that Dyl is so into holidays now and am being sure to take advantage of it with some new Halloween traditions and décor.  I love these for everyday in October as well as a little Halloween party!

LOVE

A couple of days before Alexis turned nine months old, we set out in search of the love sign.  I heard about our local love sign years ago when we were getting married, but have never been to see it until now.  A few pictures of our quickly growing baby girl was a very fitting first visit.  I love these photos because they capture our morning so perfectly – wanting to crawl off of the blanket but not sure about the still wet morning grass, chewing on her fingers as part of the teething process, and a visit from her “baby”, the glow worm, to keep her happy.  We love you sweet girl and we will be back to this cute park real soon.

FRIDAY 15- MUSTARD YELLOW & DENIM

This post contains affiliate links.  That means if you click on a link and make a purchase from the site, I will earn a small commission from the sale.

Mustard yellow and denim or chambray is quickly becoming one of my favorite combinations for fall.  I love all of the mustard yellow pieces out now for little girls.  Although we are still firmly planted in summer weather and will be for at least another month, when it cools off, Alexis will be sporting some chambray and yellow for sure.  I cannot get enough of it!  Here are a few of my current favorite pieces for little girls.

  1. A cute printed top paired with jeans, leggings or the cargo pants.  Gap Kids
  2. I love this chambray dress!  You can wear it so many ways.  It would be so cute with some sneakers or boots and a hat or headband.  Gap Kids
  3. This little sweater pairs perfectly with number 2 or 15.  Old Navy has a great option in store, but mustard yellow is sold out online.  Gap Kids, Old Navy
  4. Neither denim nor yellow, these cargo pants are a good alternative for some pants with the perfect chambray top.  Gap Kids
  5. A cute little headband is the perfect finishing touch for any of these outfits.  Charlie Cocos
  6. This top has so many possibilities.  Add some leggings or cargo pants with moccasins or ballet flats and you have the perfect outfit for fall.  Gap Kids
  7. This may be my favorite of all.  With her red hair and fair complexion, this hat is sure to look so cute!  Gap Kids – in stores
  8. A ribbed mustard tee is perfect under number 11 and paired with number 4.  Peek
  9. Denim skinny jeans are a staple in Alexis’ wardrobe.  She had some last year and I cannot wait for it to be jean weather again!  Gap Kids
  10. This chambray shirt has the perfect feminine detail at the shoulders.  I love it with number 4 and a cute headband like number 5.  Gap Kids
  11. A classic denim jacket is always a good idea.  Peek
  12. Mustard yellow ballet flats.  Perfect for fall in so many ways!  Gap Kids
  13. You cannot go wrong with these tights.  Endless options.  I love them with numbers 2, 3 and 7.  Old Navy
  14. These popped up in my Instagram feed the other day and only made my love for mustard this season grow.  Freshly Picked
  15. This cute dress would be perfect with number 3 and either 12 or 14.  Gap Kids

Have a great weekend!

SPLASH PAD

SP6 This weekend we took the kids to the splash pad.  Since it is still very much summer here, it was the perfect way to spend some time and cool off.  Dylan had a blast and despite the very cool water, Alexis had fun too.  We will be sure to make this a frequent destination.  Dylan is already asking to go back “to the place with the fountains where Sis crawled around”.  I love the way he describes things, please don’t ever change little buddy.

BACK TO THE CHILDREN’S MUSEUM

We went back to the Children’s Museum this weekend and had another great time!  You can read about our first trip here.  We had as much fun this weekend as we did the first time.  There is always something new to see and do.  We climbed the climbing tree for a bit and then went upstairs where we spent time in the art center.  We didn’t do that before because it was so crowded.  Since there was hardly anyone in the art center, we took advantage and made the craft, a bug bus, and played with some puzzles and games.

I love all of the art throughout the museum, these jelly fish are among my favorites.CM16

I also love these paper ostreches.  They are so cool.

CM13 CM8

And the big moose and polar bear?  The scene would make a perfect background for a Christmas card…

After the art center we went to one of our favorite places to play, a soft exhibit with tons of toys, slides and blocks.  We could spend an hour in this exhibit alone.

CM14 CM7

We ended our trip with playing with the cars.  Dylan raced cars on the track for a while and then they drove the pencil car together.  Alexis drove a pickle while Dyl played in the dune buggy and with the motorcycle.  We called it a day soon after.  We know we will be back soon.  It is one of our favorite ways to spend a day together!
