Do you like these kinds of posts? I think it’s a nice way to cover the things that happen outside of my usual weekend posts. Those things can be good and important and worth remembering too. This week, I ate an apple-ginger biscuit sandwich and finished a book, Joey ran 10 miles and bowled his EIGHTEENTH 300, Dempsey turned 11 months old and discovered the toilet 😂 It’s been an eventful week for all of us!

Monday

I’ve had the apple-ginger biscuit of the day marked on my calendar for a month and I wasn’t going to miss it! I am a ginger freak and will totally eat the ginger shavings that come with your sushi just by themselves. That biscuit was good!

Demps is 11 months old! When did that happen??

Tuesday

It was chilly! Dempsey looks super cute in sweatpants and a hoodie while he stares out the window though 😍

That night, Joey made us some warm cinnamon-gin cocktails that tasted extra good given the temperature outside.

Wednesday

Look who discovered the toilet handle! I maybe let him pull on the roll of toilet paper but let’s not make a habit of it 😂

I went on a run, then came back and made us all pancakes. My mom says banana fritters get sugar instead of maple syrup, so that’s that!

Happy First Day of Fall! We put Demps in his plaid so he could “drive” around the block and point at all the trees 🍂🍁

Thursday

My gardening motivation was already waning but then Joey sent me this picture of Dempsey’s watermelon all eaten up by squirrels, so I’m officially calling it quits on that garden. Overall, kind of a bust, but we did get a few okra so I’m okay with it. We’ll do better next year, I know it!

I got home around 4:30 and my mom hung around with Dempsey and I for about an hour and that boy is ALL OVER THE PLACE! My mom called him “fearless,” aka ready to fling himself over the edge of anything 😱

Happy Friday! We are taking Dempsey to his first (and last because the season is almost over) nighttime Rockies game and I am excited 😊
