Harvest

Remember this post about my garden? It was a success! Actually, success is a bit of an understatement. Thing was OUT OF CONTROL. The squash took over the backyard, the tomato plants were too huge for words, I threw away about a million and fourteen peppers. I tried to can and freeze but I just couldn't keep up. Unfortunately I didn't get a picture of the garden in full bloom and we dug it up this weekend. I tried to pick everything at the right time, but this particular little bugger got away from me.

 

 

The Kickoff

When Mason was a newborn, Tim and I called him our little froggy because his skinny legs, tiny bum, and big belly made him look just like a frog. I should have let him be a frog for Halloween last year but I found this monkey and just couldn't resist. This year he loved his frog costume and when he wasn't wearing it he was carrying it around giving it kisses and cuddles. Wish I could get a few of those!

 Halloween this year consisted of three days of soup in bread bowls (really, we ate that three nights in a row at three different parties), family get-togethers, chocolate covered strawberries, pumpkin carving, pumpkin cookies, and of course, candy. I liked that Halloween was on Sunday because that meant more days to celebrate. I've never really loved Halloween but I'm definitely coming around to it.

That being said, the best part is that when its over, the real holidays begin!
