We carved our pumpkins this weekend.

Well, actually, my husband did most of the carving.  I was busy feeling under the weather.

But the kids separated the “guts” from the “seeds,” so I did our annual seed-roasting on Sunday night.

All you need is an oven, a pan, a piece of tin foil, a little bit of water, and whooole lotta salt.

Because let’s face it:  the seeds are really just a vehicle for the salt.

Mmm … so warm and toasty and salty …

Remember a couple of weekends ago when we had that awesome warm fall weather and all of the beautiful leaves were JUST starting to fall off the trees?

Yeah.  Me too.  Now THAT was a great weekend for pictures.   Especially with these two cutie pie kids.

I love this shot:

And I love this one, too:

It couldn’t have been a more perfect fall morning and and I couldn’t have asked for a more adorable, super-laid-back family to spend it with.

Olivia’s mom just redid her bedroom.

And it’s pink!

And adorable.  (seriously adorable)

And they needed some new pictures for her walls.  So we took some!

Look at that gaze.  Like she’s looking right through you, ya know?

Olivia’s personality reminds me so much of my own daughter.  I love it.  Look at her!, she is going to be an awesome teenager.  Headstrong, but so fun.   Man, I can’t wait until our kids are that age.  It is going to drive me crazy, but in the best possible way.

The good thing is, Olivia’s got a great brother to help look after her during those years.

Those are a couple of cute kids right there.

This is Olivia reading me one of her books:

Man, she is one cute kid.

It occurred to me this week that maybe I should take pictures of some of the lovely things that have been going out the door around here.

Parents pick such great images of their children and have such great ideas for displaying them; I am going to try to remember to take pictures of some of them before they head to their new homes.

Below are three 11×14 standouts that this family decided to do in sepia (brown and white) to hang in their main living room.  I think they turned out really nice and I love the warm brown color.

And below is a beautiful 16×20 gallery wrap that this family chose to do in color (and how could they not? … look at those gorgeous blue eyes).

His lips are just perfect, aren’t they?  It’s crazy.

This is fun stuff, I tell you.  Fun stuff.
