pumpkin face

outtakes!

from this morning's Cozy Corduroy dress shoot for the shop!

scissor happy

you might notice that someone's hair looks much shorter all of the sudden? that's because isa and mommy had a spontaneous haircutting session this afternoon! what can i say-- i was tired of tangled nightmare, so i asked isa if she wanted to cut her hair short and she replied with an emphatic yes. and that's what we did! it's really short and super, super cute. hard to tell from this picture, but the back in a little shorter than the front and with the little bit of curl that her hair naturally has, it hangs just right. we cut off about three inches total and we both love it!

pumpkin carving

we heard last week that 'uncle latane' had a bonafide pumpkin carving kit, so we naturally thought isa and sylvi should get in on something serious pumpkin carving! and that they did! as you can see from the photos, everyone had a blast and even the littlest of fingers were able to help out. sylvi was actually quite serious about taking part and did not want to be held back. isa had alot of fun helping dig out the slime and separating the seeds for roasting. of course she had her fair share of roasted pumpkins seeds before dinner too, but it seemed like a good reward for all of her hard work!

speaking of pumpkins, aunt emily and uncle latane will have their own little pumpkin come february! woohoo for playmates!

playdate in the park

all this (really early) cold and snowy weather has made for a very wet Fall. the park is normally covered in beautiful yellow leaves at this point, but now it's just brown and wet and cold. seems too early for the playground to be covered in snow and ice! but we made the best of it this afternoon, trying to take advantage of any warm and sunny days while we can. since the play equipment was icy and cold, the kids decided they would make their own fun by hanging out with the horses and getting soaking wet in the puddles. hard to stop them when they're having that much fun!

three muskateers (with cupcakes)

nothing like a little Fall cupcake action with your buddies. this little gang of three is a riot lately. really, the girls would prefer to be a gang of two, but timothy will have none of that. poor little buddy just doesn't want to be left out! sylvi is doing her best to get in on the action as well, so pretty soon there will be four of them getting into trouble (two big troublemakers AND two little ones)!

sledding in october!

and not the end of october. no, we've had two days of great sledding at the beginning of the month! it's been a crazy week or so of cold, snowy weather around these parts. clearly no one seems to care though! this weekend was perfect for getting out of the house and playing. this was sylvi's first time actually on the sled and she enjoyed herself immensely (and fell asleep within seconds of being buckled up for the ride home). isa was as fearless as ever and didn't mind the occasional wipe out or a face full of snow-- she was happy to go right back up the hill and go again.
