Happy Halloween!!

So I got one of those fabulous free coupons for the Picture People, packed up the kids and took them in for some Halloween Pictures. We ended up with some free Halloween Cards and an 8x10 for mom! Whoot! The kids took some adorable pictures, once Riley agreed to let them take his picture. Such a stinker! I love Halloween, my favorite holiday of the year!

Mad's Halloween Preschool Parade

So Mad's had her Preschool Parade and Party today at her adorable preschool. Family and younger siblings were more than welcome to join in on the festivities. So Mad's picked to wear this adorable dragon costume that Nonna tempted her with after Mom & Nonna slaved over this beautiful witches hat for a most delightful witches costume. We got ready to go for the morning, goldfish goodies in tow for the party later and off to school we went. Riley dressed up as the most adorable bear (mommy's eyeliner makeup and all - he LOVED me drawing on his face - too cute) and I wore my fabulous witches hat, festive shirt and stripey halloween socks! We had a great time walking around the school, peeking in and out of classes to collect candy from all the big kids at Maddie's school! Enjoy the pics!

My Most Recent Quilt Project

I finished my latest quilt and man it is a pretty one (if I do say so myself!). I made my Gram & Grampa (who live in Mass.) a beautiful Square Queen Log Cabin with the Moda Dandelion Girl fabric line by Fig Tree Quilts. Joanna Figueroa (the designing genius behind Fig Tree Quilts) has such an eye for design and color and I couldn't resist working with this fabric after my Grandparents picked it for their quilt. I was so excited to choose the perfect combination for the log cabin and to use the fabric in a quilt! When it comes to fabric, I'm like a kid in a candy store! I can't get enough. I've included some pictures of the quilt and also a picture from the Folsom Quilt & Fiber Guild meeting when I took the quilt there for show and tell and got some great ooohs and aaahhs from my fellow quilt family!

Bishop's Pumpkin Farm Trip

Nonna and I took the kids to the renowned Bishop's Pumpkin Farm in Wheatland, CA. We enjoyed so much there and were amazed at how huge this place is. We can't believe that we've never been there before and are most definitely going back next year. We enjoyed a train ride (Riley was thrilled!! That's all he talked about) and playing in the play areas, walking around the HUGE pumpkins in the patch and seeing all there is to see out there. I'm sure we didn't see everything, we were there for 2 hours and there was still so much to do! Hope you enjoy the pictures!
