Farmer's Market

...in Appleton.

We have been frequenting the market in Appleton for at least the last month, every Saturday. This week I braved the embarrassment of taking pictures. I wasn't the only one with a camera, although the others were probably working for a newspaper or something. Who cares!

The flowers are always amazing every week too, I can't believe the number of people who purchase those. We are there for the veggies and mini donuts! Rowan generally stays in her stroller for the first half of the trip, and then likes to get out and wander with us, and snack of course. They usually have fresh cheese curds too.

Packages...

This week we received our second blog book that I created. This one was much less work thanks to the collaging of pictures. The first book was Rowan's 1st Year, and from now on they will just be family books (Smith Family Connection) hopefully yearly if I can keep up.

I know I just posted about Rowan's flower girl dress, but I received it in the mail the next day. And I didn't think the web pictures were easy to see, so I took a few of my own. Haven't tried it on yet. We have time for that!

Random likes these days...

First of all, Tinkerbell aka Bell, has got to be worn out from all of the playing she gets these days. Good bye Baby Signing Time, hello Tinkerbell. It is perfect though when you just need a little quiet time.

Blankets....heaven forbid we have 1 or 2 blankets out, we need them all out, all of the time. They are carried all over the house. Frequently covering up which ever animal/doll is taking a nap, and sometimes Mom and Dad too.

Then there are the cups we are using up from the many 2 year birthday parties this year. We use them for snacks most days. And why not sit in the corner of your room, in a tote not meant for a 2 year old. Hey, whatever floats your boat honey!

Surprise Visit...

..we don't get these often since we don't have any family or friends really in the area yet.

But who says they have to live in the area.

Grandma and Grandpa Knutson, Aunt Amanda and Uncle Mitchell made a surprise visit today. They took the day off to do the Lambeau Field tour and stop in for a visit. This was all of their first times here (except Amanda). So Rowan gave them the grand tour and entertained them for about an hour. She sure is goofy!

Cereal...

..in the living room = Naughty!

So Rowan had cereal for breakfast this morning. Decided she was done, but I left the bowl on the table. A short while later she came back for more. Then while I was cleaning up in the kitchen, I noticed that she, and the cereal bowl were missing from the table.

Yup, sure enough, she took it to the coffee table in the living room and was standing and eating while watching television! Luckily the milk mess wasn't too bad. But that will never happen again. Not sure where she learned that one from.

Oh, and she is sporting her newest pajama addition. 'Momo' courtesy of Nana. These are all she wants to wear now. I have a feeling they will wear out fast due to all the washing and wearing!

6:40 am...

it's a miracle...

That is how late Rowan slept today! She hasn't slept past 6am since she has been sleeping in a big girl bed. She has been doing pretty well overall. There has only been 1 night that she has gotten out of bed in the middle of the night, but she went back to sleep after being escorted back to her room. But getting up at 530am on average, everyday, makes for an early nap! Last night she even slept through the very loud thunder! IMpressive!

Random pictures to come later of Rowan's recent obsessions!

Flower Girl to be...

Rowan is going to be a flower girl in Dusty and Julie's Wedding in November. Here is her dress! Just ordered it today! Rowan and Julie's niece, Kaitlin are going to be flower girls, and Kieran and Tommy (Julie's nephew) will be ring bearers! Super cute! Hope she makes it down the aisle!
