Happy Friday, friends! Thank you so much to all of you who linked up with us last week! It's been one heck of a week and I am so thankful it's finally FRIDAY! I have a girlfriend coming into town this weekend and am pumped for a girl's night out. Also hoping to bake up a few fall treats.
Let's get down to it!
- ONE - We brought home a few pumpkins from the patch last weekend and I decided to "decorate" them a bit differently this year. Matt's idea was to carve one of them out and take pictures of Caroline sitting inside (hmmm, secretly surfing Pinterest?). Anyways, I quickly recommended a far less messy idea - wrap them in fishnet stockings and call it a day. I think they look so cool and it took me less than 1 minute to decorate them. Oh, and I didn't have to scoop out goo. Win!
You can find my painted pumpkin tutorial {here}.
- TWO - We were BOOED this week! My neighborhood is so fun and there are always little pranks going on year-round. A few weeks ago there was a giant stuffed animal being moved from porch to porch as a joke and it was so funny to see it circulate the neighborhood. So it came as no surprise when I arrived home from work to find I was booed!
Want to boo someone in your neighborhood? Get the game going by downloading the printables {here}!
For my turn to boo some neighbors I picked up some mini Halloween cupcakes. I really wanted to make pumpkin dip for my treat but since the gifts are supposed to be left anonymously Matt said that would be super weird.
- THREE - Since these pretty much only happen now when the paint has completely chipped off my toes I thought it was important to document my solo pedicure date last weekend.
- FOUR - Our teachers at daycare send us pictures often throughout the day of Caroline and this week we received one of my favorites - Caroline passed out from her buggy ride (and can we please talk about how she's sucking her thumb these days!?!?!).
- FIVE - Remember the amazing giveaway we announced last week!? The contest is officially OPEN!
The rules are simple:

adore that idea of "boo-ing" someone! We live in a neighborhood where we are the youngest by about 30 years haha so our interactions with the neighbors are fairly limited though!
ReplyDeleteI love your Five this week!! Our neighbors were Boo'd and I had never even heard of it before - such a fun idea!! That pedi makes me feel like venturing out to get one soon :) How sweet does Caroline look in that picture, I love it!
ReplyDeleteI love the Boo'd game...so fun! Caroline is so cute...I call that thing the Cry-Mobile because kids are usually screaming and crying while on it whenever I see one. It's sort of sad but funny...lol. I'm a mom of 3, so I'm allowed to say that.

ReplyDeleteI love that boo your neighbor idea! So fun! It's always so sweet when babies fall asleep on a walk [or anywhere really ;]
ReplyDeleteWhere do you get your nails done? I've been going to Polished but your spot looks cozier! and Love the Boo'd Printable...I might start it in my neighborhood!
ReplyDeleteWe used to "boo" in my old neighborhood and it was so much fun! I miss doing that and can't wait until I live somewhere where I can do it again.
ReplyDeleteLove, Love, Love your pumpkin idea
ReplyDeleteLove, love, love your pumpkins! I think I will paint our numbers on one this weekend!
ReplyDeleteHi! First time commenter! :) I love your pumpkins, they are so so cute!!! And your neighborhood sounds amazing!!! We actually just moved from AZ to Charlotte, NC (we're in Matthews) 6 weeks ago! So far, I love it. We're just in an apartment now but I can't wait until we buy a house!! We explore neighborhoods weekly and every single one of them seem spectacular. I don't know how I'm ever going to decide lol! Hope you have a nice weekend!! :)
ReplyDeleteOMG, I love it!! I posted the same picture today of Brody in the little buggy ride at school next to his little girlfriend! They aren't sleeping, but it's still so cute to see them. I'm so glad she is doing well at school :)
ReplyDeleteI looooove that you wrapped the pumpkins in fishnets! I've never seen that before. I love the look! Your neighborhood sounds super fun! I love a good solo date to get a pedi. It's just must needed "me" time.
