Can you stand another fall/halloween/pumpkin post?!

If not, come back next month!

Last weekend (when we had glorious weather - I dread winter) we visited the pumpkin patch to get our carving pumpkins. Lucy was more interested in the hay maze and told me

"we already have pumpkins on the porch." Silly girl, there are decorating pumpkins and pumpkins to become jack o' lanterns.

With all of the cute fall backdrops we've had this is usually the face I get.

Last Sunday we hosted our last outdoor dinner of the season. Yummy pumpkin curry and pumpkin chili with s'mores and a fire to wrap up the night.

It's so awesome that I "host" dinner parties and usually just provide the drinks.

Blake did some amazing dinners and grilled up a storm this summer but I can fill a drink tub with ice and beverages like nobody's business!

This Friday my parents took Lucy for the evening to Red Butte's Garden After Dark. I was going to throw her in jeans and a hoodie but my mom said everyone will be in costume so we threw together a Minnie.

Since Lucy was having a sleepover Blake and I went out on a real date. Now we make sure to go out as often as we can but usually our date nights are Sunday matinees. So how cool was I eating dinner at 9:30 at night! We saw The Town which was super violent but surprisingly I really enjoyed. But with Jon Hamm and Ben Affleck...

Since we've been talking Halloween in this house since early September I think Lucy thinks I'm making it up. But finally THIS is the week. Enjoy yours!!
