sunflower patch

 max came down the stairs this morning with a pair of underwear in her hands.

"i'm ready mom!"

in her high pitch, happy voice.

big smile on her face.

i tried to talk her out of it,
{really, i did. i was not ready.}

but she insisted.

and i figured,

we might as well give it a go before we clean the carpets again.
{and for sure i thought she'd give up after a few hours.}
it was not so.
she's stickin' with it.

i hate potty training.

dun, dun, dun. 

but i do love how cute they are the first time they wear underwear.

so far we're 0-5.

the underwear is losing.

poor chaps.

............

in other news...

i have an entire garden patch of sunflowers growing.

like me,

they have no idea was season it is right now.

I LOVE IT!!!

whoever heard of November temperature highs in Utah in the 70's?!

so very

LOVELY:)

i give you,

my sunflower patch...

{don't mind the weeds}

snow this weekend.
goodbye sunflower patch.
hello warm, cozy, snow fall.
and warm, cozy fall.
i am happy to announce that our brand new furnace was installed last week.
just in time for this upcoming weekend's temperatures.

OUT WITH THE OLD...
{check out all of the rust from the dang leaky AC--BOO!!!}

 IN WITH THE NEW...!!!

feels so fancy i can hardly contain myself.
we haven't really needed to use it with our glamorous summer weather we've been having,
but sometimes in the morning i turn it on just for fun to warm us up a few degrees.
it's the simple things,
like warm bums and noses.
:):):)
JOY!
