I always struggle with titles for my blog entries. LOL Anyone else ever get brain freeze when you go to post too? Anyhoo… Life has us pretty busy right now. It seems like we have something soccer related going on every day of the week. I’m not complaining…. in fact.. I LOVE it. But I swear it feels like my life is in fast forward right now because of it. This might be a purty lengthy post since it’s been a few days so I better get to it! 
This layout with Cassidy and her little green caterpillar is one I did for the button feature on the Bo Bunny Blog. We were challenged to use some buttons in a fun and creative way. That’s how my little green worm came to life. But I love how it turned out since the playfulness of this layout totally reflects Cassidy’s love of nature and being outdoors catching critters.
This little fun note holder was created using none other than more scrappy goodies from the October Create My Keepsake Kit. I honestly feel like this is my most favorite of their kits to date! It can be used for sooooo many different themes and things. This little tin was an empty Prima flower can that I had sitting around. I love altering stuff. Good times.
Gotta share some pumpkin patch photos right?
After all the soccer games on Saturday we went home and got changed then headed over to the pumpkin farm/patch out in Brandon, Mississippi. It was so much fun. The girls had a blast! They didn’t want to go home. There was the hayride and a hay maze, lots of animals and a tree swing. Here’s my family in one of those cheesey poke-your-head-thru-the-holes photo things! I don’t even know what they are called. LOL The kids love them but they have always bugged me for some reason. Maybe because of the pure cheesiness factor! HA! HA! But whatever makes your family smile right?
Okay…. on to more photos. Cassidy’s didn’t turn out very well. So bummed. Oh well….. I guess she won’t care since she had a big ole Ring Worm sore on her forehead anyway. 
…….I am totally in love with all the other girls’ pumpkin photos! I am still learning about this whole photography thing….slowly but surely. But I keep reminding myself that my kids won’t be judging the quality of the photos in 20yrs from now. 
They will hopefully just be grateful they had a mom who took some! This last pumpkin photo I am almost embarrassed to show you. Do you think I thought the whole “fall photos at the pumpkin patch” thing through???? Look at my little guy in his little surfer shorts and shirt. It isn’t cold here yet. Perfect outside actually. So I haven’t gone and bought Brody any winter clothes yet. LOL I think I better get on that though…. this photo is just wrong but the CUTENESS on that sweet baby face still steals the show!
Alrighty! I gotta start on dinner. It’s taco night…. YUM! But I will leave you with a picture I took of some fun ribbons I got on sale at Hancock Fabrics yesterday. I can’t even remember the last time I spent a few dollars on some scrappy stuff so these seriously make me happy.
Can’t wait to play with them!
Toodles!

Shanna, I think your boy is darling . . . regardless of what he is wearing! That is such a sweet photo!
Those poser things have always bugged me, too! Don’t have a good reason, just don’t dig them!
CUUUUUUUUUTE caterpillar, or worm, or whatever, out of buttons! I would say that is definitely a “creative use” of buttons!
miss ya!

Where to start…
Your page = awesome and the caterpillar is adorable!! Did you draw the face & legs? Cute!!!
Pumpkin patch pics = the poser board picyure is cute. I kinda like ‘em for some odd reason. Maybe it’s because when you’re feeling bigger than your usual self, you can hide. =0) And the girls are gorgeous. Don’t dis Brody’s clothes…at least he has a nice orange stripe on his shirt! LOL
The ribbons = yummy!! Love the pompom ribbons. Can’t wait to see what you do with those.
Enjoy your warmer trick or treat weather!
