Busy, busy, busy!!

I keep thinking about something I want to post on here and pictures I want to share, but of course I end up thinking about it late at night when my bed is calling my name.
We are 24 weeks a few days into this pregnancy and with the holiday season fast approaching I know that the next 15 weeks will fly by, so we have been preparing for our little cupcake and trying to at least start on the nursery. We co-sleep for a good while, with breast feeding its always so much easier for me to actually get rest this way, so really we dont use the crib for a good 6 months, but of course I cant wait and I want to do it now. I will be too busy with a new born to do it after! ;-) That is my excuse at least.


Halloween is coming and it is definitely one of our favorite times. Alex asks to go to the pumpkin patch pretty much every day and this starts in like November. So, we went for a little while yesterday evening, and he ran around in his Buzz costume, and had a blast. We will be going to a bigger pumpkin patch I am sure sometime in the next few weeks, but we had to go to the one we go to every year. The holiday season is the season for crafts and fun stuff, we love making themed crafts at home, and there is always so many options during this time. I havent had the "baking bug" yet, which might be a good thing because Joe and I really do not need to be eating baked goods quite yet, but that is something I always love about the fall and winter. I am a huge soup fan, I could eat it every night, Joe likes it but he definitely needs "real food" between my soup days. I am ready for the heat to leave so I can start making my soups! YUM.

And now for some pictures. :)

The Pumpkin Patch:

Alex was actually Buzz last year, but I got it big because I knew he would want to use it as dress up for a while, he decided he wanted to be Buzz again this year. Works for me!

Not a great picture because it was taken with a cell phone, but we made a pumpkin out of a can and we are making black cats soon. I will take better pictures with the actual camera when we do those. :)
