I Got a Kozy!

It's Monday! And it's rainy and dreary, but I'm so thankful the weekend was beautiful! I'm in a better mood than when I last posted. Thank goodness for that, too! Damn PMS! Anyway, Friday was a great day because I got a Kozy! (See pics.) The Kozy carrier is a mei tai or Asian-style carrier. It ROCKS! I can't believe I waited so long to get one. Luckily, I recently met a lovely babywearing mama who sells them. Once I got to try one out at a babywearing meeting and fell in love I was so glad I knew someone, personally, who sells them. She was nice enough to meet me at the mall so I could have it right away! And no shipping!

I give the Kozy an A+. I was always worried that it might be too big in the body for me, but that didn't turn out to be the case. I really like the curved, padded, top that works as a head rest and can be folded down, too. (see 2nd pic) I still love my Baby Hawks, but the Kozy is just really different. It's nice to have a variety. I've been wanting a neutral, light colored mei tai, so this new Kozy fits that.

Saturday the whole family went to a pumpkin patch and a corn maze. I've been wanting to go to a corn maze for about 5 years! Big Sis and I past one on our way to Amicalola Falls way back when and every year since I've been wanting to go and haven't made it until now. First we went to get a pumpkin at Burt's Farm. (see picture below!) I can't believe how huge these pumpkins were! Seventy-five dollar giant pumpkins! What-on earth-are people doing with these pumpkins? We had fun trying to figure that out and we bought a nice round (normal-sized) one for $8. We also picked up a cute little one and a couple colorful squashes to bake in the oven with butter (vegan buttery spread,actually) and brown sugar. We let Little E run around and check out the big pumpkins, but when it was time to get some things and pay for them Dad put him in the Mexican rebozo. Very handy.

Then we had to drive a few miles to the corn maze. Back into the rebozo Little E went, but once we got going in the maze we let him run around. (Pics below!) He fell about a million times, but he seemed totally ok with it! I actually think he was the one who got us out of there! I'm so glad we finally went because it was fun. And it was so nice to get out to the country. The north Georgia mountains are beautiful, too.

Yesterday, we stayed home. Little E took his nap in the Kozy and I did laundry all day. Dad worked and Sis played Sims on her computer. Not a super fun Sunday, oh well. I took a picture of the kids in their Halloween costumes (& there's our pumpkin), since Big Sis won't be here on Halloween.
