Welcome to my life. It's crazy, filled with love, and often a bit messy. I wouldn't have it any other way.

Party Spread

I hosted a Lia Sophia party this last weekend and was super excited to plan the spread. I absolutely love doing that and there aren't always a lot of opportunities. Here's what we ate and the recipes:

 The menu consisted of:
Veggies
Pumpkin Bean Soup (which I served in the martini glasses)

Close up of the pumpkin cheese ball.

Cake.

Halloween

 Here's my cute little lion on Halloween. He did awesome! I'm so glad we did some practice runs with the costume beforehand. He didn't complain about it once the whole time we were out and he only came back 5 or 10 minutes before the older kids.
"Mom, look what they gave me!"
 Jared was so funny. We had worked on saying "trick or treat" but he wasn't very interested. I thought maybe we'd get a growl out of him, but no luck there either. He got super shy once we got up to the doors. Always the polite boy he told everyone "thank you" though. After he figured out that he was going to get candy at each house he had a death grip on his bucket. He wasn't going to let that thing go for anything.
Such a fun group.
