Sophie and Scarves


This past Monday morning we all went down to the park for an early morning walk/run.  Since it was Labor Day and we had the day off, we could do such a thing.  Sophie and I found the spider web above on our lamp post along the way.  Sophie even brought along her weights so that she could REALLY work out while we were there.


Early Saturday morning before my run, Sophie helped to remove pumpkin seeds from the first of our garden pumpkins.  There were two pumpkins that were a little soft when I pulled them from the raised bed, so we needed to go ahead and use them.  Sophie was excited to eat the roasted seeds, waiting all day for me to finally get around to doing it.


Later in the day Saturday, she helped me stir the pumpkin butter that I made from the flesh of the pumpkins after they cooked in the crock pot all morning.  I told her that if she didn't keep stirring, bubbles would form and pop, sending pumpkin butter splattering everywhere.  Since she knew it was hot and would burn, she put on all the proper protection.


More winter wear made its way out of the closet over the course of the weekend, and I was greeted with this scene Sunday afternoon:


And just to round out this post all about Sophie and scarves, here is a lovely little note that was delivered to me by Sophie while she was cleaning out her room Saturday morning:


I'm desperately hoping she meant "like." :)
