Another trip to Pumpkin land

We took another trip to the apple orchard and pumpkin farm, only this time we went to an all time favorite. I think it was my brother and sister-in-law that discovered this place first, but after it had been discovered it was quickly a favorite and host to birthday parties and family trips.

It was a fabulous day (as most of our fall days have turned out to be this year) so we decided to head to the golf course, meet with tom, and cruise on over to the farm for a great afternoon together. It really was an absolute blast. We went on Monday afternoon so there were maybe 4-5 other families there- it felt like we had the place to ourselves! We saw animals, fed animals, went on a wagon ride and picked our own ears of pop corn (we just need to let it dry and then around Christmas time we will be able to take off the kernels, put them in an air popper and we've got pop corn, folks!) and gourds!

Sometime soon I will post pictures of our trip to the South Shore that we took about a week ago, but for some reason Flickr is not allowing me to upload anymore pics....I'll get it figured out!

Hans just LOVED all of the animals there. He laughed every time we saw one. Here we are checking out the friendly cat...

We think it's funny!

10 Minutes to a room you'll love

I'm wondering what my husband will think when he asks me "What did you do today?" and my answer won't involve shopping! Wait, I take that back, it DID involve shopping....shopping from my house (Nester Style)! The Nesting Place has been having a series on how to re-vamp rooms in your house in just 10 minutes. She encourages you to find things around your room and just add some changes here and there. I was inspired and decided to rise and shine early Saturday morning (with the help of some snow blowers outside) and apply these strategies to our ever so desperate bedroom. I have really neglected decorating our bedroom until about 10 minutes ago so please don't judge the before pictures! Keep in mind that I'm NOT finished yet and I may just end up going shopping OUTSIDE of the house for a few things. However, this 10 minute make-over has made our room just a bit more cozy!! Step 1 : Make the Bed *Before* *After* Step 2: Personalize it. Create a tables

We had the big 20 week ultrasound today and decided to invite the family over that evening for a gender reveal! Tom and I found out during the ultrasound and kept it a secret (which was super hard to do, even for a few hours!) until we had our family over. We found this really cute idea on how to "reveal" your babies gender from our friends here . We made cupcakes And inside of the cupcakes we filled it with colored frosting (pink for a girl, blue for a boy...not telling yet, wait for it....) Hans was so excited for everyone to get there (see? it was even hard for Hans to keep the secret!). He ran and got daddy's shoes and was putting them on by the door. Everyone chose a plate and a cupcake and we went into the living room to bite into it together... And...... IT'S A GIRL!!!!! Hans is already learning how to blame things on his little sister...tsk tsk. Hans, we totally saw you eat the cupcake, silly! We missed a lot of family members that really wanted to be the

I did it!

Last night, we whipped up this shirt for Hans from an old t-shirt of Tom's that was in a rag pile. We used this tutorial from the blog I mentioned a few days ago, MADE . Even though it was my first time making a clothing item (I made a little jewelry bag a few weeks ago to re-fresh my sewing skills) post high school home ec, I'm super happy with how it turned out. The tutorial is referred to the "90 minute shirt" but it took a little longer with that. =-) I'm completely inspired to make more cute things for my lil guy!!
