trick or treat

halloween nate 2011

Nate had a Halloween party at school. He came home with all sorts of “goodies.” I even snagged a peanut butter cup (my very favorite!)

He was a Royals baseball player and his nurse dressed as an umpire. My phone pictures are being slow to send to email, so I’ll have to try to remember to post more pictures later.

And Miss Princess Delaney went out door to door for her treats.

It was a beautiful evening to be outside. A very rare thing in Kansas in October!

I think I might see a peanut butter cup in Delaney’s haul as well!

my jack o’lantern

IMG_0608

Want to know why it’s mine? Because I did all the work. It started out as a family affair. We all drew a pumpkin face and Delaney chose the winner. Allison won. And then came time to gut and carve the pumpkin. That’s when I went solo.

Jeremy was watching football. Delaney was hiding under the table because she hated the smell. Nate was watching his movie. And Bri and Allison…well, they were being teenagers. So now I have my very own jack o’lantern.

I did one thing different this year. Instead of cutting off the top, I cut a hole out of the bottom and it sits perfectly over a candle. Brilliant, if I do say so. After all, it is my jack o’lantern.

halloween craft

I saw this idea on pinterest (remember my favorite website for creative inspirations?)

funkin

I bought a fake pumpkin, covered it with circle stickers, like you use for garage sale pricing. Then spray painted it black. Remove the stickers to reveal the orange underneath. Easy. Fun. Now go be creative!

senior pics

I had the privilege to take one of my friend’s daughter’s senior pictures. We had a great time and the weather was awesome (actually a little warm for the end of October!) I couldn’t wait to share a sneak peak of some of my favorite shots (pre-editing).

pumpkin patch 2011

We spent a beautiful fall afternoon at the pumpkin patch this weekend. I think this is the first year we went when it wasn’t cold, windy and muddy! After the horrible heat this summer, we are really enjoying the fall. And speaking of horrible heat, the pumpkin crop apparently didn’t fare too well. They were pretty small and very green. But we still managed to find plenty to purchase!

I took a ridiculous amount of pictures, so I’ll let them do the rest of the talking.
