Pumpkin Spice Playdough...mmmmm

Yesterday Weston and I made Pumpkin Spice Playdough thanks to the awesome blog The Idea Room!
Weston is my little helper in the kitchen so needless to say he had a ball making this yummy smelling playdough. After it cooled off, we rolled out the dough and cut lots of shapes with the cookie cutters. We also sculpted a pumpkin, snowman, doggie, snake, and bunny rabbit. This kid is so much fun! We just checked off another fall activity on our bucket list

Weston's Costume!

Last night I ordered Weston's costume! I found all of these cool ideas to make a costume (there are  so many on Pinterest), but I just really do not have the time or energy this year with working and keeping up with my mommy duties. Last year I found a Saint Bernard costume and knew I wanted Weston to be it this year. I had it all planned out that I would get a pic of Pepper, Norma, and Weston... the 3 Saint Bernards!! Well, Pepper and Norma are no longer with us so he will be a Saint Bernard in memory of them. Today I got an email that it is on its way! Wahoo! Cannot wait to see Weston in his costume. It's going to be hilarious. Hopefully he will keep it on?!?!
My little stinker! Halloween 2011.
