HAPPY HA-MEOW-EEN!

Ok, the title of this post might be a stretch. But our gal is obsessed with cats, so I’m sure she’d think it’s funny. And yes, you guessed it, Mya was a kitty for Halloween. It is more of an outfit than a costume, but it embodies two of her favorite things: kitties and tutus. (The ensemble is from Mudpie.) I had the lofty goal of making a costume, but when I saw this lil’ number, I couldn’t resist!

ROAD TRIPPIN’ : SCHAAKE’S PUMPKIN PATCH

We’ve had Halloween fever ever since acquiring Mya’s costume (check out her sneak preview), so we’d been planning a family adventure to the pumpkin patch. With weekends quickly filling up with activities, we decided an impromptu Monday evening road trip was in order. We had heard about a few good area spots, but the ones we knew of were either closed during the week or too far for a weeknight trip. Luckily, we came across Schaake’s Pumpkin Patch, a splendid family farm outside of Lawrence, KS.
