Pumpkin Baby

The other day my moms group got together and took pictures of our babies in a pumpkin. Yes, that's right, not next to, or on top of a pumpkin. In it.

Our wonderful hostess carved two leg holes, and a lid, and hollowed that big ole' pumpkin out. Then we all stuck our babies in it and started snapping photos. It was FUN.

We got this fabulous idea from Pintrest (the coolest website ever.)

At first Tessa was unsure of this idea....

But then, I fed her an itty bitty bite of candy corn, and it warmed her up to the idea...

And lastly, we have got to have a "Sister's" photo!

Hello Ballet!

My little girl started ballet and she is in LOVE!

What she loves most:

the clothes... the dancing... the teacher... the mirrors...

the femininity... the shoes!!

Eloise is in Heaven! Week number 1 was Tutu week. Eloise was happy to oblige.

Storybook Ranch Pumpkin Patch

Fall is one of my favorite times of year. I love the cooler weather, fall clothes, warm colors and pumpkins. After this record breaking summer, I welcomed fall with open arms.

(More like ran to it, screaming and yelling, while obnoxiously waving my arms in the air...)

Anyway, to celebrate a new season, we went to a new pumpkin patch, Storybook Ranch! It was a fun day with our friends from church. The pumpkin patch had pony rides, hay maze, petting zoo, bounce houses, hay ride, and, of course, PUMPKINS! To say we enjoyed ourselves would be a major understatement.

Her face says it all... she LOVED the pony ride

(A first for her! I'm so proud that she's trying new things.)

Eloise and Lucie picked their little pumpkins and then is was time to go!

We can't wait to go again!

Its a Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood

It is a GORGEOUS day in McKinney! We started off at 65 degrees and got up to 85... Purrrrfect! We dusted off the ole' bounce house. The girls got to jump and play for a while. Then we had lunch and Tessa also got to participate in her first backyard picnic (until the bees showed up, then we went inside!). Can't wait to enjoy the great outdoors more in the next few weeks! Now I'm going to work on my projects outside before the kids wake up from nap! :)
