Weekending it

Fall is officially here. It actually feels more like late November but that's it, summer is gone. Last year we had heat and sun well into October.

Proof. This time last year:

Anyways, our weekend update.

On Friday night Dan and I finally got to cash-in his gift certificate from my parents for Father's Day. We saw First Man at the Alamo Drafthouse which is a movie theater that serves food to your seat. It was a GREAT date. We loved the movie and the food and it was not far from home so we were back relatively early. Thanks mom for the gift card and thanks to Mandy for babysitting Kippy!

Saturday, was cold and cloudy but we had plans we intended to keep. We went to brunch at the local diner.

Kip is getting a little difficult at restaurants now. Man, this newly one year old phase is hard. Battle of wills.

After his afternoon nap we headed over to watch the Ragamuffin Parade which is a long standing tradition in our neighborhood for kids to parade down the main business street in their Halloween costumes. Initially we thought we would march in it with Kippy but then I was unsure if you had to register or not so we just ended up watching it with friends.

It was better to watch anyways since that way we would see everything. Mandy has been taking Kip to the park on Wednesday and the local high school marching band practices there so he is sort of in love with marching band music now. "His" band was there plus a few others so they kept his attention. 

Aunt Mandy got him a giant inflatable balloon from a street vendor at the parade. Oh man, he is spoiled.

On Sunday, I chased Kip around all day at church. Getting into ALLLL the things.

It was exhausting and he never napped the rest of the day.  Happy Monday!!
