On Saturday we went to the farmer's market and enjoyed a breakfast picnic on the grass. Then we went over to the public library to check out some new books and participate in the bilingual story and music time. Penelope preformed a percussion solo.
After a long nap we went out back to explore the fall leaves and flowers.
Smelling without picking was too tempting of a task for lil' P.
Then we raked the leaves into a big pile and took turns jumping in.
That night we celebrated a friend's birthday. Penelope spent most of her time zooming around the back porch.
On Sunday we managed to make it in time to church, but afterwards we got stranded in the church parking lot when the car keys somehow ended up locked inside of the car. Thanks to some very helpful church members and the good 'ole people at AAA, we finally made it home. After a refreshing nap we let loose at the neighborhood park.
Then things went downhill. Penelope came down with a fever and a case of the croup, which led to a sleepless night for both of us and a day off of work for mom the next day. Thankfully Monday went a bit better, so we spent the day getting caught up on laundry and digging in the garden. Looks like we might have a future gardener on our hands.
Sick? Me? Watcha talkin' about?
Look Ma! Dirt!
Dirty little gardener.
love the wispy curls almost as much as she loves her "tick"
When Monday evening finally arrived and her daddy walked in the front door, you have never seen such a happy little girl. Penelope kept hugging and kissing and clinging to her daddy as if to reassure herself that he was really back.
