Pumpkin Weekend

The weekend started early for Cooper & Mommy!  I took off work Friday just to hang out with Cooper. We slept in and then ran errands most of the morning. Her birthday party is in a couple weeks, so most of our errands were to get ready for the party. We went to Chick-fil-A for lunch and then came home so Cooper could nap. Since she started at The Odyssey, her naps have moved up to noon. On the weekends, we try to keep her on schedule, but she usually doesn't go down until about 1:00. After nap, we met some neighborhood friends at the park to play! Even though we didn't do much, I still just love being with Cooper and would take that over going to work most days!!

After Daddy got home, we carved our pumpkin. Since Cooper is really into cats lately (I think it all started with her Halloween cat toy), Wes carved a cat into our pumpkin. It looks great! Cooper wasn't really into getting the yucky stuff out, so she mostly just watched and played around the yard.

On Saturday morning, we went down to La Reunion and ate pancakes for breakfast! Yum! We ran into our neighbors, The Davenports and The Cobbs so Cooper ended up playing more than eating! After breakfast, we headed down to The Grand Ole Pumpkin Patch. While we were there, we took a wagon ride to the pumpkin patch to pick out our pumpkin and walked around the farm. There was a sunflower field (that I loved and though would be a great photo op) and Indian teepee's. Cooper seemed to be afraid of the sunflowers, I don't know if it was that they were so big or what! And about that time she started getting hungry and on the verge of a meltdown! We got our pumpkin & our pictures, so we were out of there!

We watched the Alabama game at home in our pj's and had tons of fun! Much more enjoyable game than the last two weeks! Sunday morning we got up and got ready for pictures. Cooper had her two year old portraits done today. We went to a really cool little farm. It was just someones house and they let our photographer come take pictures there. They have a red barn, horses, a pond, blueberries and just overall beautiful land. I can't wait to see the pictures!! And, I love our new friend Carly. Check out her FB page at CarlyJphotography. I also started on a birthday party decor project today. I was a little intimidated at first, but I think things will turn out well. I am attempting to make some fabric pennant banners for the party. I will post the results soon! Overall, we had a fabulous weekend!!

Please ignore the terrible blog background...I need help! Mindy, I hope you are at work tomorrow.
