Pumpkin Patch Take 1

A few weekends ago we took Steven to a pumpkin patch by us, Theis Farms. We went there last year and really liked it. Unfortunately this day was super cold, the whole week before had been in the 80s so we were not prepared for how cold it was this morning! That put a bit of a damper on our trip but we still managed to have fun. It was Logan's first outing to the pumpkinland but he stayed bundled up and next to me the whole time.

 

Steven always loves the animal areas. They had pigs, horses, goats, etc. Steven had fun trying to pet the Llama here. It was a pretty cool looking llama. Love all that coloring. 

 

 

They have a giant hale bale maze and you can climb the outside of it. Steven and daddy got right to the top no problem! That's a big improvement from last year when Steven didn't want to climb it at all really. He's much more fearless this year.

 

They have these cute little ride on tractors but it seems like the kids are always flocking to them so its hard to find an empty one. When we did, it was a bum one that wouldn't work. That happened to us last year too. Last year Steven was pretty ok with it but this year he was like, "It won't work!!" ha ha.

Oh well.

The highlight of the day was this big slide. Steven seriously did it 15 times back to back. Steve had to help him climb up the rope ladder on the side but it was pretty cute watching him try and conquer it. They really liked the slide.

Wee!

We also did the hayride. Steven was not into taking a picture. You can see Logan all bundled up here and attached to me in the sling.

Worst selfie ever.

Overall it was a fun day. We need to go again when its not ridiculously cold so it will be a little more fun for Steven. After an hour or so he was like, "Can we go home?" ha ha. It was pretty chilly though so we were happy to oblige. We'll try again soon hopefully.

Logan's Nursery Reveal

Now that Logan's here I assume you are dying to know whether his nursery is done. Well it is! Yay! It was finished a few days before he was born but hey, who's counting!? I mentioned my inspiration in this post so here is the final result. I'm really happy with how it turned out and BIG PROPS to my mother in law, Kathleen, who went crazy sewing and creating things for the nursery. Logan's a lucky guy!

 

Kathleen found some space themed fabric on a trip to Branson so she bought a whole bunch of it. Out of that fabric she made Logan curtains, a bed skirt and quilted a blanket! It all goes with the room so well. I'm so lucky to know someone so talented.

 

She also used the fabric for the top of the awesome mobile she made for Logan. The curtains and mobile are pictured below:

 

 

Here's a close up of the mobile. Isn't is awesome? Kathleen embroidered those rocket ships and the piece in the center that says, "I love you to the moon and back." (Which also glows in the dark! Awesome!)

You can see my humble attempt to decorate with some frames in the back of this pic.

 

I ordered the prints from Etsy in my inspiration post and framed them in some simple white frames I had leftover. I really love them and they look great over the changing table. You can also kind of see on the right wall some glow in the dark decals I got from Target and hung around the room. They are really neat too.

This is my favorite print. Dunno why the picture is so crooked. I blame the photographer. ;)

 

More of the glow in the dark decals. They look really neat lit up at night. I also redid the clock I had in Steven's room with those decals.

 

Easy project!

Kathleen did an amazing job with the ideas I gave her. She made this awesome rocket ship banner for over Logan's crib. I loved the banner she made for Steven's wall and wanted Logan to have one too. I just gave her a picture and she came up with all of this. It's so cool!

When I originally took the pictures for this post I didn't have the detail below so you won't see it in the overview pics. My good friend, Jamie made this canvas for Logan. Isn't that so sweet? It looks great in his room.



Isn't this cool?

Well that's Logan's finished "outer spaced theme" nursery. I think it turned out really great and I hope he enjoys it as much as I do!
