2010 Pumpkin Party Set-up

Last night was our 2nd Annual Pumpkin Party! It was a lot of fun and Reagan and I have slept pretty much all day because we were so worn out. I will post more about the party, but until then... here are pics of the house as we were getting ready for the guests to arrive. Prepare for picture overload!!

Delicious cupcakes my sister Meg made.

Pumpkins, pumpkins everywhere!

The kids had fun walking through these streamers.All of Reagan's Halloween books ready to read!The mantle. I love the witch picture. It is from our family trip to Salem in 2007. The dining room table before all the food. Two of my favorite shelves.
Halloween music was playing and goodie bags were ready!

Getting Excited....

We are hosting a pumpkin carving party at our house on Saturday. We have a lot of friends and family coming over and its always fun to have everyone special to us all in the same room. I have A LOT of cleaning to do and still need to go buy food/drinks, but Im getting excited!

Saturday

Our Saturday was filled with pumpkins!
We started the day by visiting Old MacDonald's Ranch.

It was our first visit to this farm and we had a lot of fun.

Reagan loved the hayride, picking out a pumpkin, doing the hay maze, and seeing the animals at the petting zoo. Here are some pictures of our adventure:

After lunch and a good nap (for all of us) we headed to our friend Jenny's house for her pumpkin carving party. Here are some pictures from our fun night. Thanks for hosting us Jenny!

I hope that you all had a great Saturday as well!

Day 5 of Fall Break

Today was a great girls day spent with my sister Meg and Mom. Mom and Dad just got back into town from a week in Georgia and we were so happy to have her home.

Here are two pictures Nick took before we left.

First we went to Babies R Us to buy some baby gifts for our cousin. (She has already had her sweet little boy and we are so excited to go and meet him in a couple of weeks.)

Then we went to Kierland Commons for some shopping and lunch. We had some yummy sushi at Ra and had lots of fun shopping at Barnes and Noble, Anthropologie, and Fransescas.

After Kierland we drove to the mall where we did more shopping and laughing.

At one of the jewelry shops we found these tiny hats. Did you guys see the SNL skit a few weeks ago about the "tiny hats"? We were dying and had to try them on.

After the mall we got some frozen lemonade and ran a few more errands. Such a fun day with my two favorite girls! Love you Meg and Mama!
