Our First Pumpkin Patch

We did a lot this weekend, for us lol. From the Irvine Global Village and then visiting a pumpkin patch yesterday, and it might have been all of our first time at a pumpkin patch. (Have I been to one before? I honestly can't recall). 

With reservations it wasn't that bad as far as the crowds (one good thing to come out of COVID I suppose) but it was hotter than I would have liked (which was a shame because it's been starting to cool off otherwise) but we did get some cute pictures of Sophie out there, and learned how tall she was this fall.

This is how they get you to keep
coming back!

We bought two small pumpkins to actually cook and eat since jack o'lanterns wilt too quickly this close to the ocean.

This is the BEST time of the year and it always flies by, so I'm glad we've started to take advantage of it early.

Early Early Morning

Baby sleep is some form of friggin triple integral calculus (I Googled "what is the hardest level of math"  and that's what I got) and I can't figure it out. I know it doesn't help that she has a bit of an irregular schedule doing part time daycare and not sleeping well there, but we're all over the place now. She didn't sleep well at daycare yesterday, so she went to bed early, and she was up at a nice 5:30am today, so that's been fun. I actually put her down for her first nap here and took her to daycare about an hour late.

The best part was getting to daycare, and when the door opened and Sophie saw Ms Ellie, she immediately reached out for her. That's a great feeling and really what you want, so that's made me happy.

 I had a brunch in Long Beach followed by a session in a Salt Room today so it's been a nice Tuesday so far (plus I won football pick 'ems this week: thanks for that regular-scoring win last night Chargers) but I am ready to sleep already. Mama needs a nap if I'm going to be stay awake for the Bachelor in Paradise finale tonight!!
