Yesterday I made beef stew in my crock pot for dinner, but was lamenting the fact that it was so warm here {a high of 78} that it just did not seem like stew weather. It's the end of October! The leaves are changing! Where's that crisp air I love?!
Well, it's here now! We had a 20 degree drop from yesterday to today - yikes. That was dramatic {and appreciated!} I love fall.
This weekend we have big plans for family fun. It's been such a busy fall that Drew and I haven't had much time for just the 3 of us to hang out. I'm really looking forward to taking Asher to the pumpkin patch {finally!!} and maybe having a picnic or trip to the aquarium. Not sure where the weekend will lead us - any suggestions for family fun with a 10 month old?
In the meantime, it's favorite thing friday!
A few weeks ago the bible study for moms that I attend was throwing a baby 'sprinkle' for 3 moms in our group. It's a sprinkle, rather than a shower, since these ladies are all expecting their second child. I love that!
Anyway, I was in charge of snack for the week and wanted to do something 'baby' without going overboard with work and expense. I've seen cupcake toppers on a few websites recently and thought they were so cute! What a great way to add decoration!
With keeping the expense down being a primary goal I decided to try my hand and making some myself, rather than buying them. I plan to make some for Asher's birthday as well, so all of the 'gear' I needed will get more use.
Someday I'll do a detailed post on how exactly I made these, but for now I'll just show off the final product!
Happy Baby - and Friday!
Wow - those turned out great! Way to get crafty, mama! Wanna make some for Ava's party while you're at it? :P
