Season of the witch

FiFive little pumpkins sitting on a gate,
The first one said,
"Oh my, it's getting late."
The second one said,
"But we don't care."
The third one said,
"I see witches in the air."
The fourth one said,
"Let's run, and run, and run."
The fifth one said,
"Get ready for some fun."
Then whoosh went the wind,
and out went the lights,
And five little pumpkins rolled out of sight!

We decided to have Bridget be a witch this year for Halloween after my original idea fell through. I found this adorable costume at K-Mart on sale and it looked so cute on her! She has really gotten into the spirit of Halloween and gets so excited when she sees pumpkins. She also tells me how everything is so spooky (it comes out sounding like "mookey", it's so cute!)

James and I are pretty excited to take her trick-or-treating this year and we've been practicing with with her about what to say when she knocks on the door. We can't wait for Saturday night, I just hope the weather isn't too cold!

Happy Halloween!

What are the colors of fall?

October gave a party;
The leaves by hundreds came -
The Chestnuts, Oaks, and Maples,
And leaves of every name.
The Sunshine spread a carpet,
And everything was grand,
Miss Weather led the dancing,
Professor Wind the band.

October's Party.

We took a trip up Little Cottonwood Canyon this weekend to check out the leaves and to get some branches for a Halloween decorating project I have in the works. The day was perfect and we had a great time spending time together as a family. Bridget had so much fun climbing on the rocks and the Temple Quarry Trail Head and picking up leaves. She is such a cutie and we had a great day!

Happy Birthday to Me!

Yesterday I celebrated my 34th birthday. Sometimes I can't believe that I'm really that old! Not that 34 is old, but the fact that I'm a wife and mother, work as a journalist and am living such an adult life that amazes me! I am lucky to be surrounded by good friends and family who help me feel and act young (you know who you are that make me act younger than I am trouble makers!)

This blog is filled to the gills with cute pictures of Bridget and although she's way cuter than I am, here are a few of me over the years.
