Jennifer's 365 Project

The cat is really enjoying a new chair we got last week for the bedroom. I knew sooner or later he'd be sleeping on it. Honestly I'm surprised it took him four days.

It's nearly Halloween! Halloween is the favorite holiday for two out of three people in our house! We spent some quality time doing crafts together and decorating the year year old's room.
These two had lots of fun together too. Sometimes it's good to have a giggle fest.

I've been itching to come back to the Detroit zoo for a year. I love the new penguin exhibit!
 My parents joined us and we all enjoyed the brisk weather as compared to yesterday.
We walked so much more of the zoo than the last few times. It helps that it wasn't 90 degrees this time!
Once we were done at the zoo we spent several hours with Grandma Karath. They had fun playing and watching cartoons.

I have the day off so we're headed to the east side of the state for some fun. First stop was Legoland. Three and a half years old means this is a whole world different than a year ago. He had tons of fun and it was good to see Grandpa Karath.
Later we swung by my parents in the afternoon for dinner and some outdoor fun.

We will be out of town tomorrow so we celebrated my birthady a day early. The little one picked out all kinds of fun things for me like a tiara, a lady bug skirt, pink socks..
..and this bright pink nail polish. He always has a great time picking out gifts and they're always fun to unwrap.

It's been over two years since I bought my Pebble Time. I wear it almost every day so it was only a matter of time before the last remaining holder on the strap broke. At least I have another at home I can easily swap to, although this one was waterproof.

Nintendo Online launched today. It was late and past when I usually go to sleep, but I signed up and started the backup on my game saves.

We bought a new vehicle! We've had one car for so long and it's worked great for us, but with the little one getting older and us needing to be on opposite sides of town soon we decide it was time.
The best part for our 3 year old was trying out a new car seat, which is a more big kid design than the older one that he still fits in. He listed all the ways in which the two seats were different once he'd had a chance to try them both.

We participated in the Bridge Run this morning. He ran the first mile by himself, which was pretty impressive. I had to argue with him to get into the stroller since he wanted to keep going, but as soon as he took a seat he downed his water bottle and enjoyed the ride.
At the end there were cookies and chocolate milk. Plus we received medals! He had an amazing time, which made the whole thing worth it.

 It's the weekend and what better way to start it than a trip to the Renaissance Festival?
We were only there for a few hours, but the little one had an amazing time running around with the other kids and visiting the mermaid.

Anyone who purchased the DLC for Xenoblade Chronicles 2 received access to their Torna expansion (which is also a stand alone game) a week early. I downloaded it this morning and played for a bit on lunch.

When you tell your kid to use his fork with his spaghetti and he ends up with a mouthful....
