So you all probably know about my header dilemmas – I’m always designing a new one – well my fabulous friend Amanda @ funkepunkemonke designed me a header – she’s a wiz at stuff like that – anything crafty and she’s on it. What do you think? ::twirls::

Finishing What I Started: Vacation Photos
Well picking up where I left off (or um, where MM left off…) here are the rest of the pictures from our vacation… This will show pictures on the road, at the hotel and at Storyland…
The wading pool at the hotel was literally like 1 foot deep, maybe less – perfect for my little not quite swimming 2 year old. This was probably about as deep as his bathtub is filled so he was feeling rather confident and had a blast.
We were somewhere along the Kankamagus Highway, looking at a basin I think and I stopped and took a picture of MM… I just love how this shot came out, don’t you?
Another shot from the same stop – hubby took this of the two of us. Don’t mind the mess that is my hair.
The Kankamagus has all these great little “scenic view” rest stops set up just for taking pictures. We did a lot of landscape shots, but I also tried to get pictures of US, too.
This is self explanatory, right?
How can you resist pictures of a toddler in a teeny house that’s just their size? I love these two shots of him playing in the “cupboard” and looking out the window at us. He kept flirting with girls when they came in the house – that was cute, too.
His aunt’s are like piano playing professionals (really) – I know they’d be proud of this picture. He loved this piano something fierce.
But this door here? This “3 4 shut the door” display, was literally where we spent half the trip. We could not tear him away from this “just my size” door. Much to my dismay…
Um, I just want the Bloggess to know, if she’s reading this, I totally took this picture for her. Actually I had my husband take it. And yes, Bloggess, I told him the story. He’s a big fan of your blog, too, btw.
(Yes I know she probably won’t read this. That’s okay. I’m only crying on the inside I swear…)
He picked out this little completely unrelated to Story Land pirate ship out himself. It was his favorite part of the trip. For real.
This was my favorite part of the trip. Chocolate has never tasted so good.
Okay I was going to post landscape pics, but now I’m worried those will be boring to anyone who wasn’t there – unlike the pictures of my kid – those were riveting, right? But if anyone is like, “Aw man, I totally wanted to see all the pictures of the rocks and trees you saw,” just say the word and I’ll totally post them. K?
Aloha Friday: Favorite Fall Foods
In Hawaii, Aloha Friday is the day that you take it easy and look forward to the weekend. So over at An Island Life, Kailani decided that on Fridays she would take it easy on posting, too. She’ll ask a simple question for you to answer. Nothing that requires a lengthy response.
If you’d like to participate, just post your own question on your blog and leave your link at An Island Life’s blog. Don’t forget to visit the other participants! It’s a great way to make new bloggy friends!
My question this week is:
What’s your favorite fall recipe?
We just made sweet potato fries last night, and mashed sweet potatoes the night before and I have to say they were fabulous. I love how cooking styles change as the seasons change, we suddenly crave new different foods or have new different foods in season. What foods do you love cooking in the fall? Do you have a special dish just for this season? What great dish will you be whipping out come Thanksgiving? What’s your specialty?
