Fall Fun

This week Nathan's school had a fall carnival where all the kids dressed up and played fun games.  Nathan was such a cutie and got some warm hugs from Olaf!

This weekend we went to a pumpkin patch, where Nathan experienced his first ever corn maze and hay ride!  He also got to see farm animals, had a caramel apple, played games, and got a pumpkin.

We painted our pumpkins our Paw Patrol theme -- one for Marshall, Chase, and Sky.   

Doodlebug Halloween Layouts

I have a lot of Halloween layouts to share with you this month -- three years worth -- made with adorable Doodlebug Halloween lines.  I created this first layout for Lasting Memories challenge 466.  I used polka dots, a tag, and stickers.

This 2016 Halloween layout is for Lasting Memories challenge 468.  I used the following items for the challenge: costume (layout theme), red (lobster), ink (black), stickers (monster), and purple.

The trick or treat 2017 layout was inspired by Cookin up Creations marquee challenge. The red and yellow on the marquee look orange together and the pumpkins on the paper look like marquee lights.

My next layout is for CSI case file 298.  I created a page that is Halloween themed, used string and dangling spiders, white cardstock background, chipboard, and the colors orange, black, and white. 

This layout from last year's Halloween is inspired by Scrap your Stash's October cartoon inspired sketch challenge.  I also used Cards (journaling), Alphabet stickers, Stars, Patterned Paper, Embellishments, and Rats (stickers).

Finally, this last layout is for Cookin up Creations' animal challenge. I used fox and cat embellishments.

Best of ABQ

Last weekend we celebrated Jesse's birthday with a nice dinner at Tamaya's Corn Maiden.  The food was divine, and the scenery spectacular.  We took a little walk around the property before dinner (ok, I walked, and Nathan and Jesse ran around the trails), and enjoyed a lovely evening!

This weekend, we went to the Special Shapes Rodeo at the Balloon Fiesta.  We got up super early and braved the bitter cold, but the balloons were great and we had a lot of fun!

Goal!

Nathan started off his fall soccer season (his 4th season) off with a bang — by scoring his first ever goal! He actually scored two in the first game, and another one this weekend. Look at him go!
