Out of the mouth of my Babe

Jackson to Scarlet (the dog): (patting his leg) come puppies, otay?
Scarlet looks at him like he's nuts and stays put.
Jackson: (with a stern look on his face): one, two...come puppies, otay? otay!

The counting doesn't work with him so I don't know why he thinks it would work with the dog.

Etsy Grand Opening!!

I officially opened my etsy shop on Friday- so exciting! I actually did it all late Thursday night and I think it was a mixture of the excitement and the tiredness, but I sent out an e-mail to all my friends and the first time I left out the link. Then the second time I spelled my own shop name wrong in the link so it wouldn't work. The third time proved to be the charm, though and I got the word out. I had to work on Friday all day at the flower shop and I was so anxious to get home to see if people had looked at my stuff. I was so excited when I found out that I already had two sales! Woo-Hoo! So check it out if you haven't already and browse around the etsy site while you are at. You won't be disappointed. I actually just bought Jackson the cutest winter beanie from a shop called Noggins the other day and he looks so stinking cute in it. There are so many things to look at, and so many temptations to buy! I'll try not to put all of my earnings right back into purchases, but I make no promises. So stop by and check out PaisleyHandmade on etsy and let me know what you think!

Fall leaves and a visit from YaYa and Papa John

While Todd was raking the other day, our next door neighbors came over to show Jackson how to play in the leaves. Let's just say he was a quick study and had a blast! We killed about and hour and a half outside while we were waiting for YaYa and Papa John to come.

We had a couple of fun-filled days while they were here. Jackson was so happy to have YaYa and Papa all to himself and he milked it for all it was worth. After they left, he continued to ask for YaYa and Papa first thing in the morning when he woke up for about three days. We miss you YaYa and Papa! Thanks for coming!

A Pirate says Arr!

Happy Halloween everyone! Jackson was a pirate this year, inspired by his favorite song from a Backyardigans episode...
