Happy Monday to you! I hope you had a great weekend! With the front door and entryway finished, I'm like a new (much happier) woman! We took Miss L. to a "pumpkin patch". I put that in quotes because most of the pumpkins were rotten and yucky. They had a few decent ones left, so we arranged them around her to make it look like they were everywhere.

Owls seem to be her thing, (that would be her mom's doing), and when I saw this cute and easy toddler owl costume idea on Pinterest, it was a done deal. Click here for the tutorial. I am tweaking the idea just a bit. Miss L will be wearing a ... Read More about DIY Owl Halloween Costume
