Yay for fun fall weekends with visiting friends! Refreshing and filled with laughter...

Squash Soup and a Cozy Long Weekend

Thank goodness for long weekends full of doing relaxing things you love! A much needed 

::exhale::

Squash soup! I'm not very domestic as far as cooking goes, but I was looking at a few recipes for squash soup, ignored most of that they said and kind of made it up as I went along. It actually came out really, really well!

Lots and lots of wagon rides and puddle jumping

Family photo time!

Beaucoup amounts of cherry apple crisp (the Eastside bakery is the best!)

And everyone's favorite fall workout- stacking wood!!!! 

Oh wait, that's not fun. 

Mike is a trooper!

Snack Time DIY

So it's our week to do snack time at Viv's preschool, which is a lot of pressure! Because I rarely get to bring Viv to school or pick her up, I feel a little detached from everything and wanted to make something cute and special for part of the snack.. I decided on the little butterfly snack bags you see all over pinterest! They came out tres cute, no?

Per usual, I didn't follow any directions and just kind of winged it as I went along! Here's how easy it was:

Dollar store clothespins + paint

 I had a few helpers...

... who got bored after painting and deserted me for things more entertaining, leaving only a trail of googlie eyes

Hot glue+googlie eyes

And twist!

First trip to the salon!

Of course, I had to tell her it was a princess salon and bribe her with stickers, but in the end she loved it. She also told the hair stylist that she thought she was "pretty cool." buaaaahahaha!"
