Every month I miss out on What's Up Wednesday because of Recipe Club, so today's post can be considered either really late for last month or really early for next month :)
What We're Eating This Week
This week we're eating Crockpot Lasagna and we're also eating out for Dave's Dad's birthday. (Hello, clean kitchen!!!) I've also been eating WAY too much candy corn and peanuts.
What I'm Reminiscing About
This week I've been reminiscing about all things pumpkin patch. I will NEVER forget the first year that Dave and I took Luke to the pumpkin patch and it was a muddy DISASTER!
I had picturesque fantasies of sunny skies, crisp breezes and adorable pumpkin pictures... and instead we got mud and an uncooperative 18 month old ;) #momlife
The next year I was pregnant with Mason and we skipped the patch and headed to the arboretum instead.
I remember being SO HOT and a smidge hormonal and after chasing around a toddler all morning trying to get the perfect pumpkin picture (BECAUSE ALL PREGNANT MAMA WANTED WAS A CUTE PUMPKIN PIC!), my favorite picture from the day ended up being this one I snapped in the parking lot :)
What I'm Loving
I'm loving this leather wrap bracelet from Freed Outfitters. If you love it to be sure to check out my Instagram today! There MAY be a giveaway happening!!! :)
What We've Been Up To
Lots of things including a trip to the dentist yesterday for Luke. Mason and I have cleanings on Thursday, but we got to watch Luke do his like a CHAMP yesterday! He was so excited to show the dentist his lost tooth and his loose tooth next to it. Such a big boy!
And Mason's day was made by a set of green vampire teeth (and mine was made when he popped them in and crossed his eyes. I mean!)
What I'm Dreading
Another day in the heat! BOO!!! It's supposed to be 97 degrees today. MAKE IT STOP!!!
What I'm Working On
Christmas cards! Christmas cards! Christmas cards! WOO HOO
If you missed my post about cards, you can check it out HERE.
What I'm Excited About
Pumpkinville starts this week! MCA runs the cutest little pumpkin patch EVER and I love volunteering, taking the kids up there to play and supporting the school all at the same time. If you're local, be sure to check out Pumpkinville at Tucker Hill! It's free and so fun!
What I'm Watching/Reading
I'm LOVING The Voice and Nashville! I kind of lose interest in The Voice after the audition episodes, but the auditions are great :)
What I'm Listening To
I've been on an Anthem Lights kick this week. So good!
And this has been our kitchen dance party song of choice...
What I'm Wearing
Like everyone else, I am LOVING all things plaid for Fall. I love a good button down, BUT I tend to lean toward things that are a little less standard and a little more unique. I picked up this plaid tunic and am loving the longer length in the back and the ruffle! It's perfect for Fall and still a bit quirky :) It's sized generously and I'm in a small and it's nice and flowy.
What I'm Doing This Weekend
Harvest Party! WOO HOO!!! This was our crew last year, and I can't wait to see all the cute kiddos dressed up again this year!
What I'm Looking Forward To Next Month
Ummmm.... everything! Open windows, pie, Thanksgiving break, annnndddd..... getting Christmas decorations out! EEEEK!
So, what's up with you this Wednesday??? :)

ReplyDeleteright!?!?!? And way cuter than our staff shirts :) hahaha
DeleteI agree so SICK of the heat, it's still pretty warm in alabama too! I loved the clean kitchen comment, I can totally relate that's my least favorite part of cooking. Absolutely love a cover from Anthem Lights, boyce avenue is fantastic for covers too!
ReplyDeleteLinds @ Not A Mom
LOVE Boyce Avenue!!! And there is nothing better than not having to clean the kitchen after you put the kids to bed, right? :)
DeleteI can totally relate to the all-mama-wants-is-a-cute-picture! Picture worthy events are so much more fun once I have my pictures and the picture stress is gone. Yeah, I don't sound crazy at all! ;) And I am sooo excited for Christmas decor as well!
ReplyDeleteNot at all! :) I try not to stress over getting a good one... but pregnant Andrea definitely did. hahaha
DeleteAndrea! I'm so glad you did this post today!! And Mason with the green teeth is my new favorite pic EVER! So funny!
ReplyDeleteI'm telling you - that pic is going to end up on something for you :)
DeleteMAKE THE HEAT STAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHP! If I'm annoyed, I know you probably down right panicking. :) Love that plaid shirt on you!
ReplyDeleteFull. On. Panic. I feel like I'm going to blink and it's going to be summer again! I just want to wear a coat!!!
DeleteThose past pumpkin patch pictures of Luke are adorable! And Mason with those teeth - so funny because I just snapped a pic of my son wearing an orange pair! Sugar is also our dance party song of choice :)

Such a good dance party song!!! ;)
DeleteI have never watched The Voice before, but I'm so sucked in. Amazing singing. I have many favorites. I look forward to Mon. and Tues. nights and finally sitting down with my bowl of popcorn. :)
ReplyDeleteIt's so good!!! The coaches this year are a great dynamic which makes it fun!
DeleteI am so over this heat! I was giddy when I looked at the extended forecast for us here in NC and saw its going to be 37 Sunday morning ! Hallelujah!!!!
ReplyDelete37?!?!?! AWESOME!!! Enjoy, girly!
DeleteI've never heard of Pumpkinville at Tucker Hill I am going to have to check them out, I'm always looking for something to take my girls to for Fall.
ReplyDeleteAnd, I am so enjoying this warm weather we have been having, I'm not a fan of the cold weather so to me its a great time to be living here in Texas with the warmer temps.
I just don't like to sweat. hahaha Which is a problem considering I live in Dallas :) You should definitely check out Pumpkinville... I think they have entertainment and hay rides and stuff onthe weekends as well. I haven't looked at the calendar, but they normally do. Let me know what you think if tou go!

ReplyDeleteAAAAAH, I saw this post in my feed and I thought, DID I MISS IT?! Is it really time for What's Up Wednesday?! Glad to see that wasn't the case! Hahahaha.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see what you do with your house for Christmas this year... your décor from last year was gorgeous!
Not time yet... I'm just not on the ball :) hahaha
DeleteI'm going to have to try that crock pot lasagna! I love lasagna, but the homemade kind I make is super time consuming! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteIt's sooooooo good! Let me know what you think if you try it!
