Happy Thanksgiving everyone!  We had a wonderful day, hope you did too:)

Halloween

We had a fun weekend! Saturday started out with thoughts of Christmas at our Festival of Trees work day, and ended with the girls having a house full of friends for a Halloween party! Lots of kids, Lots of food, and Lots of fun!

Pre-party pics of our flapper, doctor, princess Leia and Yoda!

Sunday evening was much quieter, we had our annual pumpkin carving.  This is one of my favorite things to do for Halloween. Time well spent with my family.

As I'm browsing through the pictures I have to include one more.  Thayne made this awesome jack-o-lantern cheese ball for the party. It turned out great!

We went to a pumpkin patch last night for family night and here are our treasures!

Fall, Fall, My Most Favorite Time of All!

This past weekend I worked up these cute little pumpkins using the tutorial found here. I added the hemp because I felt like they needed a little bit of vine on them. I love them! Keyki loves them too, when I brought them outside to take photos she snatched one off of the bench and I had to chase her around the yard to get it back!  I also spent all morning this morning cleaning out my tomatoes and pumpkin patch. These are the lovely pumpkins that I found (literally) in all the overgrowth.

Pumpkins make me smile:)

Halloween

Hannah and I decided to get a little crafty! We took this plain metal bucket.

Pulled out lots of pictures from our old Country Living magazines. Lots of Mod Podge later..................

Very messy, but very fun.
