Bye Bye Owen

Posted on 2013-11-172018-04-10 by jesslee

Darn it. Moxie’s boyfriend Owen and his family are skipping town. It has nothing to do with the warrants out for his arrest. Absolutely nothing. Our mama friends, and particularly the Hostess with the Mostess Alex threw a fabulous going away party. It was really fun.

You’ll notice in the last few pictures that Moxie has something stuck to her hand. Yep. Someone else’s snack cup. She stole it, reached in for a cheddar bunny, and got her fist stuck. For most of the party she had a cheddar bunny in her free hand and her other fist stuck in a cup. She didn’t mind too much though.

Also: forget I said anything about the warrants. Seriously.

(Part 2) We picked about 30 lbs of apples. crazy we know. We are making a vat of apple butter as we speak. Don’t hate.

Happy Halloween!

We had a great Halloween. Moxie wore one costume to her daycare party (including a photo shoot and parade around the block) and then another to trick or treat with her friends Ari and Noa. She quickly learned from the big kids to climb up to the front door and to grab candy from the bowls of hosts. Her favorites were a lead (of course), a glow bracelet, and a bag of pretzels. Aunt Karen joined us for a walk around the neighborhood and helped celebrate the dark holiday. Oh! And we saw six week old ducks. Turns out those guys are HUGE!!

Play Place at the Mall

We have recently discovered (thanks to Grandma and Grandpa) the awesomeness of mall play places. Recently we met up with some baby friends to hang out during a rainy afternoon. I am trying not to be “that mom” that freaks out about big kids running around and knocking over babies. I haven’t been that mom yet–but never say never.

National Book Festival

We had Aunt Mary I come for a lovely visit. We spent our Saturday on the National Mall (before it closed) for the National Book Festival. Moxie was mostly interested in the grass. Aunt Mary I found her new favorite band and we all had a great time. Oh: and Moxie hated all the people dressed up as characters. Hated them.
