Sweet potatoes have never been a staple at our family thanksgiving table. After having Quinn and learning that they're kind of tasty, I've been trying to work them into our diet a little more often. Well, into Quinn's diet more often.

So this year I thought I'd try the sweet potato dessert thing I always see photos of.

Of course I only had colorful marshmallows and not plain white ones.

He put himself in there. Every time I opened the gate he shut it again. I mean, if he wants to stay locked in there, who am I to complain?

I bought a pack of mint chocolate chips this past weekend. I thought I'd try them in a cookie recipe. They're not bad and the mint isn't nearly as overpowering as I thought it was going to be.

I met my friend Lori for breakfast this morning and she had a few boxes of books in her trunk! Most of them are too old for Quinn yet, but man, this kid is set for the next several years.

I found a stash of these at Meijer. Since it's a seasonal summer beer I snagged a few for the upcoming winter months.

Pokemon Sun and Moon launched today. My copy was waiting for me when I got home and once the toddler went to bed I booted it up. Hello little Rowlet!

I ran out to the local Walgreens to pick up some medicine. Stuffed right next to actual children's medicine was a whole line of homeopathy.

Homeopathy is not medicine. It's pseudoscience. What the hell Walgreens. Get your shit together.

There was a lot of fog during the drive in this morning and it was still hanging around at lunch, although not nearly as thick.

Flaps in books are becoming fun! Also, a little dangerous when overzealous hands are near. 

I've been enjoying this cute puzzle game on my phone called Monument Valley. It's a nice way to pass the time when I just really don't want to read another article on something.

Ugh, so many.

 My parents came out for a visit today.
Quinn had a pretty good time bouncing between everyone. 
 And he finally fell asleep after a long, hard day of playing. All he had to do was stop moving for five minutes and he was out.
