1. My little peanut was an angel for Halloween. I had every intention of making her a lady bug...I actually decided on that last year long before she was born. However, I was searching around on etsy and found some adorable baby angel wings and decided that I just had to go with it. She can be a ladybug next year. :)

| This is MG with her little cousin Olivia. I say little a bit sarcastically. O is 2.5 months younger than MG, was born at only 7lbs and has already pasted MG in weight by over 2lbs. She's a little chunk and I love it! And look...they are holding hands. :) |

2. We took MG to a pumpkin patch last Saturday. We had planned on taking her to this little farm that has one that is about an hour or so away but it was a dreary, rainy morning so we decided to stick around a bit more locally. Can I just tell you how I have dreamed of pumpkin patch pictures for years. I was so unbelievably excited!
 |
| Momma, I want this one! |
 |
| She absolutely refused to look at the camera. But she sure does have a cute smile in this one. :) |
 |
| She was way more interested in eating the leaves and the hay. |
 |
| Nope...still won't look... |
 |
| Not with daddy either. :/ |
3. Of course since we went to the pumpkin patch we had to get a pumpkin to carve. I don't think there has ever been a Halloween that I haven't carved a pumpkin. But K, until he met me he had never carved one. NEVER. I've never heard something so strange. Poor deprived child. :o) Rest assured though, my children will not know what that's like. ;)

| Mmmm...pumpkin guts! |
4. I told y'all we took a quick little getaway to Orlando a few weeks ago to celebrate our 5th anniversary. We had a blast! We decided at the last minute not to go to Epcot for the Food and Wine Festival. Instead we just hung out around Downtown Disney and our Resort. It was just what I needed. I was great to just relax and not worry about anything that needed to be done. When we got back I felt very recharged.

| First stay in a hotel. |
 |
| Momma, I think I want a Harley. |
 |
| What? Why can't I have a motorcycle? All the other babies have one. |
 |
| Sitting with daddy's favorite character. |
 |
| She loved the water spouts! |
 |
| Well hello there! |
5. So, this isn't quite fall but I wanted to share some of my 6 month pictures of MG. I know, I know, she's 7 months old now. But I thought these were cute. And since I have been seriously slacking in my monthly posts to her I figured this will do.
And just for comparison. Here is MG at about 2 weeks old...
 |
| What happened to my little peanut? This makes me all teary. :( |
7. Now for the non picture, non fall related take. I'm looking for a new homemade spaghetti sauce recipe. I've never gotten around to perfecting one of my own and I just don't have the energy. So...I want yours. If you would kindly leave me a comment with your recipe or you can email me. I would be so, so grateful! I'm hoping to make a bunch to freeze for when Hannah gets here. I'm almost 22 weeks by the way. When the heck did that happen?
