Halloweentime

This weekend was a busy one!  I hosted Bunco at my place and made the dinner and desserts, everything, from scratch.  I also decided it was time to start decorating my house for the holidays, so I got all into making this wreath and putting up pumpkins and such.  And I have to say, I'm really happy with how it all turned out!

Rice krispy treat ghosts and bats and mint brownies.

Homemade rolls and butternut squash soup (and one of my new little plate decoration acquisitions).

We decided to do costumes this year, which I loved and may consider doing every year.  I've had so much fun for Halloween this year.  I am soaking it up, 90 degree weather and all!

Spoiler alert!  I'm Minnie Mouse for Halloween this year.  I made a skirt, guys!  But it's not really wearable for everyday, but boy, as costumes go, that skirt is pretty great!  

Diana Hoppe and me.  Can you tell by our faces we were having fun?

Michelle Barty as a ballerina (in a real costume she wore in high school.)

And and and...we went to the Underwood Farms Pumpkin Patch on Saturday!!  We went with Jon & Kirsten Heder, Nick & Stacy Stevens and their families, and Sarah & Drew Champion.  This was one of those future-family dreams come true for me.  You know, one of those you think, "when I have a family of my own, I'm going to do such and such."  This was one of my things.  And I really and truly loved every minute.

Jake suggested we wear our matching Yo Gabba Gabba Halloween shirts.  What?  Matching family shirts at the Pumpkin Patch?  Yes please!!

We went in the corn maze.

And rode on the tractor ride.  (Look at those beautiful sunflowers!  And that handsome devil with the beard.)

It was a beautiful day, but it was HOT!  We bought some endlessly refillable snowcones which seemed to help us beat the heat.  We ate a delicious lunch there, enjoyed the band, and another little tractor ride.  Jasper's just old enough that we can see him really enjoy these things.  It is so much fun to play with him.

We even bought a couple and took them home!!  Oh, it's just too much!  

Our little family of three.  Happy Halloween!
