Hippity Hoppity, Autumn's on its way!

Saturday morning, my husband accidentally dug up a bunny nest while landscaping the back yard...  The situation made it hard to just leave the bunnies alone, so we took them in...

Their eyes were still closed, their ears were still down & they were just plain "new".  We read up on caring for the bunnies & got right to work feeding & tending them.

We truly weren't sure how long they'd survive, being so tiny & away from their mama.  But we are happy to report that by day 3, their eyes had opened, ears perked up & they were hopping around our back porch, like a litter of puppies!

So when I sat down last night to do this week's montage, I tried think of what has inspired me lately.  It didn't take long to decide on a bunny theme.  Now, I know bunnies are generally reserved for Easter & Spring, but I didn't have too much problem finding "fall" related bunny goodness!

words to smile by

I hope to start a weekly series of posts, called "words to smile by" where I'll take some time to highlight all the funny things that come out of my boys' mouths over the course of the week.  I think Fridays are a good day for this post.  Ideally, I'd love to create a series of link-ups where others can post the same "words to smile by" on their own blog.  I've never done a linky post before, so I would love any tips you might have!

Since I just decided to start doing this a little while ago, I don't have a list of good ones saved up from the week.  Here's one I actually wrote down a while ago.  You know, just to get myself started...

C: Mommy, I think I know why all the boogers are coming out of Harrison's nose.

Me: Why?

C: Because I think he was just born with lots of boogers.

Wow, I'm setting myself up for quite the challenge; it will be so hard to remember them all...  I think I'll need to start carrying a little notepad with me everywhere, just so I can write them down as they happen.

What "words to smile by" came out of your kids' mouths this week?

Given the fact that it's been almost two months since I last posted, I thought I'd give you a little clue as to what's been going on.  August was rough.  Busy, exciting, trying at times, and downright hectic.

But September is here, and has been welcomed with a smile.  :) 

Kindergarten has started; yes we made it through that highly anticipated first day.  Tears you ask?  Nope, not a single one...  Does that make me a bad mom?  I surely hope not.  Colin is amongst the oldest in his class.  He'll be six this fall.  He was ready, more than ready.  And guess what?  He loves it!

Preschool starts next week.  Even more than being ready for Kindergarten to start, we are all so ready for Alex to head back to school.  He's certainly given us a run for our money this summer.  Actually, this whole past year.  "He'll grow out of it", is what they tell me.  Hope "they" are right.  School will be good for him this year.  Someone once told me, "they have better resources there" & I hope she's right!

After that, it's just me and my baby boy, Harrison.  Oh how I long for the quiet days with my sweet little angel baby.  Not only will we get the much needed one on one time together, but when he sleeps, guess who will have some peace and quiet around here?  And guess what I will do with that peace and quiet?  If you guessed, "work, because you work too much," then you're right on!

I am so excited to finally have some solid time to devote to my work & growing this little business of mine.  The first task at hand, is to create a store display, to be featured at belly elan, my BabyElan {daily} shop co-partner's store!  Did you follow that?  My BabyElan partner and I, are also partnered with the local belly elan...  And now I'll partner with them in more ways than one.  I am excited about the partnership!  I am looking for wall display suggestions, so I would love to hear your thoughts!

Oh, "a drop of golden sun"?  I forgot to tell you!  Surprise, surprise, I've changed my business name.  Again.  I know, will I ever stop changing my name, you ask?  Yes, I am done.  This is it! I will "close" my business before I change it again.  Don't you love it though?  Because I totally adore my new name!  I always think of my grandmother singing it to me when I was a little girl.  And you know what makes it even more special?  We were home visiting her a few weeks ago, and out of the clear blue sky, she started singing it to my boys!  She didn't even know about this business name change.  Funny, huh?

Tell me, what do you think of it?
