good fall family fun

we made our trip to the local pumpkin patch sunday. the weather was gorgeous! it was the nicest day we have had in a while.

the girls had a ton of fun. we came home with several pumpkins. and we didn't get lost in the corn maze. it wasn't in the best shape this year. i think the recent weather has done the corn maze in. all the tops were broken off so you could see right through the whole maze.

enjoy some pictures from our trip to the ol' wagon wheel pumpkin farm.
pumpkin decor is set up outside. and i snuck a little time with daddy before he went to work.
no joke, this harvest is dragging on & on & on. we couldn't buy a drop of rain in the summer. now it can't go more than a 4 day stretch without some rain. but i'm not complaining. bring on the rain. we need it to get everything back to what it is supposed to be.

this is a big week for the totten family. rachel turns 5 on friday. jarrett & i celebrate our 10th wedding anniversary on friday. by some stroke of luck, i got friday off of work to spend with my girl. i assume jar will be working. rachel's birthday party is sunday. it will be a stone cold blast. i'm super pumped. it's a halloween party, i will be in costume - as what, i don't know yet. i'm still trying to talk jarrett into a couple of different options.

let's see...what else is going on in totten-land?

olivia is still doing wonderful in school. she was elected into student council and is beyond thrilled. jarrett has the yuck that rachel & i both had a couple of weeks ago. the bears won & the cardinals lost --> i see this as a win win. haha!

pics from the phone

the hubs & i went on a date night for my birfday Saturday night. it was totally awesome.


yummmmmmm shrimps

LOVE the endless shrimp event at the dead lobster

picture day at school

 halloween decor outside houses is awesome. although, this particular display is quite disturbing.

scary scary scary (and it was pouring when i took this pic from the car)
 
the backyard is done up too.

rachel & i were a couple of sickos. we got the snots & cough. and the mucinex makes us both very grumpy.
 
this huge dog is a huge wimp when it rains. he likes to think he's a lap dog.

duh...

so, in case you didn't notice from our new family pics...i got mah hair did.

oh man, did it need it. like super bad. here are some pics just for the hell of it.
before
during - it got super hot under that dryer
gonna find out if blondes really do have more fun

my plan was all over color. but, i don't know really how that works on horribly dark roots & already colored hair. so we went with highlights & then she colored the roots between & all over. it looks pretty awesome. i'm very pleased.

i cannot let it go that long between any more. the grays & whites were taking over.
