coney island - colorado style

a few weeks ago dave and i went for a drive up in the mountains. unfortunately we had missed all the autumn leaves, but still saw some pretty scenery.

then we stopped for a hot dog at coney island. who knew there was one outside of ny?! it was a gorgeous day to be outside and i have to say the hot dog really hit the spot!this is an awful picture of me but i am posting it anyway. proof of the delicious hot dog!

snow day

logan and i returned last night from california to a winter wonderland (even though it is still autumn...colorado is a step ahead). i was bummed because dave got a half day off from work yesterday and we missed the chance to spend it with him. but lucky for us, today was another snow day!

it consisted of what any good (lazy) snow day should...

• wearing cozy clothes (our little moo'er)

• eating crumb cake for breakfast (really i think most days should consist of this)
• watching movies (and a few recorded episodes of "so you think you can dance") and snuggling on the couch
• a trip to the halloween store
• napping

• putting off doing the dinner dishes to blog

i think i'll have some mint hot chocolate before tackling those dishes (i'm really good at stalling. something i have mastered growing up)...

we love logan!

we love to take pictures and of course logan is our favorite subject. as a result we have lots of random pictures of logan and i couldn't help but post some (ok, a lot) of them. i warn you, there are a lot. so this post is for all the logan enthusiasts (aka family members). and it's for me too because i think he is so dang cute!

he has good taste already...going for the coldstone

leaves

the leaves all over my front lawn finally got to me today and so i decided to rake them up. i hate raking. actually raking isn't too bad, what i really hate is bagging leaves. this is how far i got before it was lunchtime for logan (please ignore our ugly grass. we are renters who obviously don't take pride in our house...trust me, it isn't worth the effort).

besides, i figured i would wait for dave to get home so we could tag team the bagging. i will admit it was a little discouraging to see leaves continue to fall from our tree while i was raking. this won't be the last time raking this fall.
