Pumpkin Patch

Nate and Heather are here to visit! Yay!  So of course we had to take them to Mike's Farm and eat some yummy home cooking!  We also did the pumpkin patch hayride and picked out pumpkins to carve.  The girls loved the hayride, except that it was already decorated for the "haunted hayride" that was going on later that night....so there were some scary stuff out there.  Emma kept saying over and over...its just pretend right Mommy?  Poor baby....hopefully I didn't traumatize her!  Here are some cute pics:

Pixel Perfect: Before and After Blog hop

Check out Pixel Perfect's Blog hop here....

This is my SOOC shot....loving the sunflare!

I cropped the pic...then ran several actions.  Coffeeshop Rita's cross processing action - tweaking the levels, the coffeshop Rita's Perfect portrait to bring out the eyes and some contrast. Finally I ran Pioneer Woman's warmer action to warm it up....love the final product!  Check out Pixel Perfect to see some more before and afters....I have learned so much from this website!

Autumn Evening

Cool, crisp, autumn evenings are my favorite.....oh wait...its 90 degrees outside!!! I decided to let the girls play outside this evening, and so I snapped a few sweet pics...the girls were wearing their pink rainboots with the brown dresses..so no feet shots! :)  Loved the sunflare tonight.....however, our play session was cut short when Gracie got bit my 2 huge mosquitos.....in OCTOBER!  Crazy weather!
