Happy Halloween!

We had such a great Halloween! Finn was pretty pumped about the idea of trick-or-treating and spent the whole month of October looking at his "Halloween magazines", otherwise known as the Oriental Trading & Pottery Barn Kids catalogues! He decided he wanted to be Doc from Snow White & the Seven Dwarfs. Luckily for Mommy, Grandma is a great sewer and offered to make his costume since you cannot find a 7 dwarf costume anywhere! Saturday we carved our pumpkins & roasted pumpkin seeds. They turned out pretty good. I did one batch with salt and one with pumpkin pie spice. Finn even loved them!

We didn't do much for Halloween decorations this year. I have my pumpkins on the mantle that'll stay up until after Thanksgiving, and this little corner.

I made Finn a Halloween treasure tray Sunday morning. I got the idea from a blog and I can't remember where but if I find it I'll list it here. Such a cute idea!!! He had an orange jack-o-lantern, pumpkin seeds, sprinkled donut holes, pumpkin oatmeal, pumpkin french toast cut into pumpkin shapes, Boo Berry cereal, and Pumpkin Juice (milk with orange food coloring).

Grandma & Grandad and the Zarda's came over, we had dinner and then got ready to get some candy! All dressed up and ready to go! His costume was the cutest and he got lots and lots of compliments on it! Thanks again Grandma! I made a beard but he wouldn't even put it on, oh well. He kept the glasses on all night, which surprised me! And isn't Lilly the cutest little bunny rabbit?!!

She just had her 2 month well visit on Friday and she is 11 lbs 7.7 oz, and 24 inches long!!!! Dr. said she is going to be long & lean! :)

That is Finn's pumpkin behind him - he drew the face himself for Daddy to carve! He is into drawing lately and has had lots of practice drawing jack-o-lanterns.

The boys were literally running wild in the yard before we left. As Ryan said..."there's a rogue cowboy & a dwarf running around our yard!"

Just a little excited, maybe?!!


And off we go...

About halfway done...we just went up and down our street which was plenty for the boys. At each house Finn did a great job knocking on the doors and then when we left he'd ask "Should we go to another house?" in an excited voice. The two babies did great, too. Lilly slept most of the way.




Baby Rowan in her cute pumpkin outfit!

The M&M's were his favorite.

Can we do it again next year?!

My sweeties!

Had more pictures to share tonight, but having a little trouble posting. So here are some quick pics for now! What sweeties...love them both so much, they make my days so special! Never a boring moment!

Newborn Photos

Here are some the photos from Lilly's newborn shoot! They turned out awesome! Janelle & Kim from Rainkite Photography did an amazing job and were the best to work with! I would highly recommend them for anyone looking for a photographer! Can't wait to book another session with them! :) There are more pics of Lilly on their blog as well!

I can't believe how much she has grown since then! So glad we captured this special time because it goes by way too fast...she will be 2 months old tomorrow!!!

Lilly's Room!

We actually finished putting the finishing touches on Lilly's room the day before Mom left to go back to Oregon, so it's been done for awhile, but I am just slow in getting these pics up. Kelly at Kelly's Korner has a post on nurseries and kid's rooms this week, so I am linking up! The room turned out totally different than what I had first thought that I wanted and I am so glad because I couldn't love it more! Thanks, Mom for all of your help in getting it "just right!"

We found our bedding in Portland at Goodnight Room and they shipped it here for us...such a fun store, but dangerous to spend too much time in! :) It is from the Dwell line and I think it is perfect for this room!



Love how this area turned out...Lilly's loves laying on her changing pad...the cover is the pink chamois from Pottery Barn, super soft! We had the blue one for Finn, so had to get Lilly one as well! The print on the shelf is one of my favorite things in the entire room (purchased from Etsy). If you can't tell it says "Happy Day."



I wish I had a closer pic of the silhouette print by the door. It is from an Etsy store as well.



Loved how her name turned out above the crib - very feminine!



The rocking chair was moved out of Finn's room (his train table is there now, so he didn't mind). I'm planning on spending many, many more hours rocking, reading, and cuddling here!



Bookcase to hold toys & books. I am planning on framing and hanging one of her newborn pictures on the wall next to it. I will be posting some of her pics on here soon, too! They turned out great...our photographers were THE BEST!



Some of the little details that make a room special...




There is something about these little white onesies that gets me...


A little larger view of the closet...this was taken before she was born and is much fuller now! :) Girl clothes are so much fun!


We are definitely enjoying her room, hope you enjoyed seeing it. I had planned on putting some pictures of us on here tonight, but it is late and I must get to bed...Lilly and I are doing the Sacred Steps 5K Run/Walk in the morning (we are walking) if this rain goes away. I promise it won't be a month before I post again - maybe tomorrow night! :) Good night!
