It's The Great Pumpkin....

So this weekend was pretty relax and laid back!! We are stalking our photographers smugmug page in great anticipation of more Charlotte reception photos but in our "down time" from doing that we decided to buy ourselves some pumpkins and take to carving them!

There is an over abundance of pumpkin patches in a 5 miles radius of our house ... last year there was almost none, this year I swear there is about 8. So after much debate I decided I wanted a small pumpkin and Nicholas got the normal large size.

Everything was going great until I realized I started with "T" and then proceeded to the other "t" in treat and worked my way in.. bad idea. The letters were so close together that my "e" fell apart!! It was a pumpkin catastrophe!!! So my ever-so-wonderful-handy-dandy husband found one of my bling pins from my bouquet and fixed poor pumpkin right up!!

We also went to use some of our many (thank you wonderful friends and family!) gift cards from the wedding!! Our first purchase? Espresso machine!! Now, this espresso machine is supposed to be super easy to use... yah okay! I need a masters in espresso making but I promise to have it down by the Christmas party!! Here is nick making a cappuccino ... he's much better than me!

Can you see my little one?! She was "daddy's" helper! Speaking of his helper, Nick and I are debating on what the girls should be for Halloween!

Last year Miss Emma was a lady bug and Bella was Bella because she doesn't like to dress up, which is exactly why she is being forced this year! Emma was just too cute last year not to dress them up again! I think Emma is going to be a fairy and Bella, since she loves to torment squirrels and/or cats is going to be one of those, or the headless horseman so she cannot yank it off!!

Any more ideas?!
