Tonight Bobo got his first ‘real’ carnival experience. Last year he went to one for a grand total of five minutes, and has ever since been totally enamored with the concept of the Crazy Bus. He talked about it for months afterward (‘bus!’ ‘Juju!’ ‘bus!’ was actually the extent of the conversation, but I got the point). Tonight he was reunited with his beloved Crazy Bus… and wouldn’t even think about going on it! He did agree to go on the train, which was his first… and last ride. It was wristband night, and thank goodness we didn’t spend the…

We had a nice little gathering yesterday, and it was a good time all around (the sad, untimely death of a crow aside). Of course, I didn’t really take pictures, but it was a beautiful day, nice and cool but sunny and clear. The whole weekend has been gorgeous. I spiked up Bobo’s hair, since it’s so long it’s getting in his eyes, and got a few pictures of that. Here’s one of us! Notice the long sleeves and Bobo’s adorable new rugby shirt (thanks Dada!) which is perfect for fall.Oh, and we tried out that new ice cream place…

This is a word cloud thing from the Wordle website, featuring the most used words (biggest) of the recent entries on Bobo’s blog. I guess I use the phrase ‘so much fun’ way too much. Heh! It’s fun, go try it out if you’re bored.

A few Bobo pics from the ‘last day of summer’. As my grandfather used to say, he’s going to be a heartbreaker when he grows up… 🙂 Look at all those teeth! I think he’s even got some way-back molars coming in. Is that normal?

I also have my little Autumn Leaves Yankee candle I grabbed at Parker’s Maple Barn this weekend… mmm. How long until everything is red and orange?

It’s been so beautiful and cool for the past three days… you can certainly feel autumn coming. These pictures are from yesterday, the last day of August (and therefore, according to me, the last day of Summer). I’m so pleased that we could wear long sleeves. I’m so excited for Fall, it’s the start of my favorite stretch of the year! I’ve already posted these up on facebook, mostly because I needed a new profile picture as it’s been half a year since the last one! Time flies, I can’t believe summer is over. At least we have a lot…

My friend Melissa was staying in Amherst for a week, so we finally (after forever!) got to see her and her beautiful daughters, Evie and Rory. We spent the day watching our little toddlers run around and get into relatively peaceful altercations over fire trucks and bikes. It was so much fun, and I hope we’ll be seeing them again soon (much sooner than last time!). Melissa and I were roommates (in a triple) during our first semester of college. We had some differences (as teenage girls do), but after we lived safely in separate rooms we became much better…
