Feeling very Martha Stewart

in that homemaker kinda way, not the jailbird kinda way.

While Q napped away the afternoon hours, I decided to take the time to do a few things around the kitchen.  I made an amazing smelling loaf of banana bread for some friends who just had a baby.  It's all I can do not to tear into it!  I'm really hoping it cools quick so I can take it over before I have to abort the mission.  I also picked several carrots and some kohlrabi from the garden, cooked it up with some potatoes and pureed it with chicken for Q.  I think I made enough servings to last him until Kingdom come.  I had a couple baby food jars from the weekend my parents came to visit and decided to see if I could actually re-jar them with food.  It actually worked!
With all of that done, any takers on cleaning my kitchen?  Thought not...

I wanted to share a few pictures of Q's first visit to the pumpkin patch at the beginning of October.  It was a nice weekend and my parents were in town to enjoy the festivities.

 Yup, she's a beaut!

 Howdy Pahd'nah

 Sooo big!

What a cute kid! (Ha ha!)

A few weeks after, still feeling the pumpkin love, we decided to carve our first family pumpkin.  By "we" I mean "I" carved the family pumpkin while Bobby tried to keep the little guy entertained :)

 Yay!  Paper to crumple!
*Notice his pumpkin carving clothes.  Man I'm a genius!

 Holy pumpkin, Batman!
(Get it, cuz there's a hole...)

For the first family Halloween we went to hang out with the cousins.  The little guy wore his get-up long enough to get a few pictures taken.  Maybe next year we'll actually go out and trick-or-treat.  This year we figured none of us really needed all that candy cuz let's be honest, it's the parents that do all the eating!




I already have more pictures to share!  I can't believe it's already the middle of Fall...or Christmas season if you're in the retail world :)
