Spidey Rings and Pumpkin Poop
Since I shared what we made for Autumn to hand out in class for Halloween, I thought why not share what Nathan handed out. I volunteered to make the treat for the party, sooo since I love Funfetti cupcakes and icing, that is what I did! I hate icing cupcakes, so Brian iced them all… >> View Post
Bobcat Badge
It is crazy how many Halloween themed blog posts I have done recently… it seems we do SO many Halloween/fall activities before Halloween even arrives! Last week, Nathan had his Halloween party for Cub scouts. They had a neat game where each kid had to search for a prize in a pot of cooked (not… >> View Post
Pumpkin Pie Play Dough
I love to make little favors for the kids to give out to their classmates on Halloween, and for Autumn’s class I decided to make Pumpkin Pie Play dough. My Mom was sweet enough to make two big batches of homemade play dough on Friday for me while I was at work. She added a… >> View Post

Last Saturday was Trunk or Treat and we won SECOND place on our Star Wars themed trunk. Our prize was a Chick-Fil-A gift card. Who doesn’t love Chic-fil-A? Brian wore his Darth Vader shirt, the perfect shirt for the occasion! This photo shows what our Star Wars themed trunk looked like before it… >> View Post
Anakin Nathan and Princess Leia Autumn
After we had lunch at my brother’s party, I took some photos of the kids in their costumes in some of the shady spots in their yard. Here is Anakin and Princess Leia standing together. I found their costumes on a great website called Official Star Wars Costumes.com. I was really pleased with the quality… >> View Post
Annual Halloween Party
Last weekend we headed over to Uncle Jeff and Aunt Tracy’s for a fabulous BBQ Halloween party! Unfortunately, my parents were unable to make it last minute due to Dad catching ‘the plague’ as we call it… Thankfully, I think everyone is healthy now! Here is the spread of food, which we enjoyed outside on… >> View Post
Recipe: Caramel Apple Dip
I haven’t shared a recipe in awhile… so, I thought I would share a recipe I made for Jeff and Tracy’s Halloween party we went to on Sunday (more on the party to come!)… we had just gone apple picking at Eckerts, so I wanted to make something that would include our delicious Fuji apples…. >> View Post
Halloween Goodie Buckets
Every year I fill the kids Halloween buckets with little goodies I have collected from the months leading up to Halloween. I decided this year to give the kids their Halloween buckets earlier (I usually wait until the night of Halloween), because Halloween is just crazy exciting as it is… I figured the best time… >> View Post
Eckerts at Millstadt – Pumpkinland
Saturday was a busy, busy day! Brian had movers over on Saturday morning while I took the kids to soccer… and, if that wasn’t fun enough, we decided to visit a new pumpkin farm that afternoon. We have been to Rombach, Stuckmeyers and Thies… so, why not try Eckerts next? There are 3 Eckerts, but… >> View Post
Pumpkin Carving Funness
After letting the kids each pick out their own special pumpkin at Eckerts, we decided to carve them… I LOVE Autumn’s face in this photo, she doesn’t seem to know what to think about what she sees inside her pumpkin. ha!Holding the stem upExploringAutumn just loved her little pink Barbie scooper and all the seeds… >> View Post
Wedding – Reception (Snapshots)
After the ceremony, Moulin Events had everyone go to the lounge part of the room where the fireplace, couches and bar was so that they could transition the ceremony room into a reception area. This was a great time for some family photos and to mingle with each others families and for them to get… >> View Post
