Evil Squirrel

We have several squirrels that live in or near our yard.  In my mind, they are evil like this guy.

While I was staying with my parents as the house was being painted, Mom and I went out to an orchard/pumpkin patch and picked out some beautiful pumpkins to decorate our stoops for the fall.  I planned on carving ours before Halloween in anticipation of handing out candy to our first Trick or Treaters EVER.  Yeah for home ownership :)

The evil squirrels had other ideas.  They munch on the pumpkins for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.  Note the "crumbs" they leave behind - slobs!

I'm getting ready to toss those pumpkins in the garbage and replace them on Halloween with these suckers I picked up at Michael's and decorated today.  I imagine plastic and styrofoam won't be nearly as appealing for snacking.

We'll carve pumpkins next year, but I guarantee there'll be no fresh pumpkin on our front steps until the DAY before Halloween.

Hiccups and Squirms

Tater Tot felt like putting on a show for everyone today. Poor thing had the hiccups AND couldn't seem to get into a comfy spot at the same time.  Enjoy!

Pinwheels and Lavender

My mom and sister threw me the best baby shower on Sunday. I didn't have my camera with me, but check out the post my sister put up yesterday here.

Here are some pictures I stole off facebook

This little girl of ours is already so loved and spoiled. Thanks everyone!

I spent last week with my parents in Philadelphia while we had our entire house painted.  Paint fumes + baby in the belly do not a good combination make.  So I let Mom spoil me with yummy dinners, and Dad gave me his ticket to the Postseason Game 1 of the Phillies v. Reds.  Little did he know history would be made that night.

Later in the week, Mom and I went out to an orchard and pumpkin patch.  We picked loads of apples, selected some pumpkins, and bought some yummy treats.

I headed home on Friday afternoon so that Mom and Courtney could get ready for my baby shower!
