Breakfast with Blue

Kimball’s favorite lovey is a blue care bear named “Blue”. Usually Blue stays in the crib or if he comes out he is quickly replaced with a car. This morning Kimball decided that Blue was the toy of the morning. Blue had breakfast with us. Kimball insisted on giving Blue cheerios with milk and a spoon. Thankfully, I was able to get away with just a few cheerios and milk. Kimball ended up “finishing” Blues breakfast which resulted in no wasted food. Kimball also wanted to dress Blue, but the only thing handy was a newborn hat so Blue wore a hat which satisfied Kimball.





We love Blue!

Halloween Carnival

Last Wednesday we attended the Fall Carnival and Trunk or Treat that our church has annually. This was the first year we dressed Kimball up and he had a blast.



I made the mistake of talking about the party too close to naptime so he ended up finishing his nap in his giraffe costume on my bed. Thankfully that isn’t a habit!








Kimball didn’t fully catch the idea of some of the games, but he did his own thing and was always rewarded with candy. He liked following everyone on the cake walk and didn’t care when or if he ever won.



We opted out of trick or treating with Kimball on Halloween because he didn’t need anymore candy, and he didn't know he was missing anything.

Hot Springs

Joseph and I recently went to Hot Springs, AR. We originally planned to go on my birthday, but our babysitting plans fell through so we waited until our friends could watch Kimball.

In Hot Springs we enjoyed doing activities that would have been more difficult if Kimball had been along. We walked down “Bath Row” where the bath houses are. We also walked to a hot spring display. We were surprised just how hot the water was. A sign said that when the water first comes out of the ground it can be as hot as 134°F.







This is a picture of the steam coming off the water.





We also hiked and went canoeing on Lake Ouachita. It was beautiful and we enjoyed the peace and solitude that canoeing on a lake brings.
