Cute Corduroy Skirt


I found this great tutorial online at grand revival design: http://grandrevivaldesign.typepad.com/photos/ruffled_skirts_tutorial/index.html


The instructions were fairly simple to follow, even for a novice sewer like myself. I was pretty impressed with the results and Lauren loves it too!



Pumpkin Patch



We managed to make it to the Pumpkin Patch this year, and to get a picture of all the kids together (no easy feat)! It was a pleasant and sunny fall day and we had a great time enjoying the fresh country air. There was a stage where the kids could dance, a petting zoo, and playground equipment. A short tractor ride out to the field completed the trip. This establishment didn't have a corn maze, which we missed. I'm thinking next year we'll attempt something challenging like this http://www.libertycornmaze.com/index.php. I guess it only takes a few hours to complete. We better start training now!
