If you really like pumpkins...

If you have been waiting for fall and counting down the days until October, then you will appreciate this post. My mom, Becka and I took the girls to the Dallas Arboretum for the annual Pumpkin Village. 50,000 pumpkins, all donated by Tom Thumb, all in one place. The girls had a blast running around the Cinderella themed pumpkin houses.

We even got to 'ride' in Cinderella's pumpkin carriage. 

It was fun seeing all the pumpkins and all the people. Lots of moms, photographers and kiddos in cute Halloween costumes/fall outfits.  So when in Rome... we took our share of photos too :)

We saw every  kind of pumpkin imaginable.

Thanks Grammy and Becka for a great day.
xoxo--Have a good week!


PS. Our Little "Lou Lou" turns 2 on Friday. Goodness!!! How did that happen so quickly?? More details to follow :)

Spring Break

Since we were in Florida just last month, we decided to stay in town for Spring Break. Which turned out to be a good thing- since the stomach virus floated around our house all week.

Luckily the virus only lasted 24 hours per person, so we did get a chance to get out of the house a bit.
We made our annual trip to the Dallas Arboretum for the Spring Blooms. 

 

It's our special tradition with Grammy- a yummy picnic lunch and beautiful flowers.

The theme this year was "Storybook Castles". Here is Afton scaling Rapunzel's tower.

Makes me wish I had remembered to plant tulip bulbs!

 Maisy was tickled with the goats. She thought they were so funny.

I love this photo- sweet girls.

 That weekend, Afton also ran her first 'road race'. I put Maisy in the jogging stroller and Afton ran next to us. The one mile run was to raise money for a baby girl in Keller who was born with a hole in her heart.

 

 

This Sunday is my big race, the Dallas Rock n Roll Half- Marathon.  I went to the Race Expo today and picked up my number and shirt. I have been training with 4 other "Running Moms. I can't wait for our big day!

13.1 here I come!
