This weekend we crossed out two pumpkin foods off of Minami’s long list of pumpkin foods she wants to eat. Yesterday afternoon, we finally managed to get to Handel’s and this afternoon, we baked pumpkin donuts together. We’re not sure where the inspiration comes from but her list of pumpkin foods includes: pumpkin bread, pumpkin cookies, pumpkin milk, pumpkin ice cream, pumpkin cake, pumpkin muffins, pumpkin donuts, pumpkin pasta, and pumpkin juice. SHE LOVES PUMPKINS.

I’m grateful Joules seems to be recovering from his dental procedure on Friday. He had a big tooth removed, in addition to a gingival mass. Poor guy was moaning all evening but still had his appetite. This morning he felt ready for walk, albeit a very slow walk since Minami had many stops to make along the way. Once Halloween decorations went up around the neighborhood, the walks seemed to have doubled in length but not in distance travelled.
Miki continues to be super smiley and happy unless we need to change her diaper. Then the wiggles get turned up to 11 and she turns on the waterworks. She also had a taste of pumpkin ice cream yesterday. We’re getting her excited about the Fall season. She has a lot of catching up [to Minami] to do.
Tonight we sang good night to Elsa and Anna, children formerly known as Moana and Miki Akachan Pasta Bingo.
