Pumpkin Patch

For FHE this week, we took a trip to a pumpkin patch out in Hooper to find our perfect pumpkins for the year.  It was $5 an armload, so we ended up with six pretty good-sized pumpkins for $10, thanks to Chris's capable hands.

It was pretty fun to wander around and choose pumpkins, but there was also a horde of mosquitoes that kept our trip reasonably short.  Luckily, M had long sleeves so she didn't get any bad bites.

Nursery

We've been hard at work on the new baby's nursery!  It's not 100% done yet, but it is really close.  This is the view from the door:

These are a couple of the canvases I made for the other wall.  There are four altogether.

 This is the quilt that my mom made.  It looks so good in there and matches perfectly!

The color of the walls is a little bit brighter in real life, but it was really hard to photograph.

We just have a couple more things to do in there, but I have stopped worrying about getting it all done in time.

Just a Few Pictures

This is how Chris found us when he came home from work last week.  M snuck in some doodling while we were watching something on TV.  Whenever M wants to watch something (usually Wallace & Gromit), she brings me the remote and says, "Show?"

For two days in a row, I went into her room in the morning to find M sleeping like this under her blankets.  She hasn't done it since.

Good Morning!

Just Like Mom and Dad

I caught M doing some homework the other day, just like Daddy.  She put on the headphones he usually wears to watch lectures and started scrolling with the mouse.  It was really cute!

She has also gotten into wearing our shoes all over the place.  I think she's better with heels than I am.

It is also really cute, but very loud when the heel part slaps down on the wood floor.

We(read: Chris) finished painting the nursery yesterday!  I will post pictures when I get some good ones taken.

Happy Birthday, Chris!

Chris had a birthday yesterday.  We went to Ruby River for dinner, then came home for dessert with my parents and Jon and Crystal.  I made him cheesecake with ganache on top.  It was yummy!

My dad used the propane torch that I got Chris to light the candles.  Happy 28th, Chris!

Here are some pictures I took of M today.  She had just woken up from her nap, so she was a little bit out of it.
