Happy Halloween!

I thought a recap of the Pumpkin Party I attended on Saturday night would be a fun Halloween post!

Before the party some of us headed to a wonderful Thai restaurant for dinner.

Of course I had to commemorate the moment!

Martha had stowed some fancy glasses in her purse for a Halloween costume, so I tried them on and made the most awkward face I could... :)

Then it was time for the pumpkin party!!  

The table was filled with so many yummy pumpkiny treats!

Lindsay also made the most delicious buffalo chicken dip -- a must for any football-watching party!

I loved the decor!

Serious pumpkin carving commenced.

Isn't this adorable with the flowers?

I loved the bow on the pumpkin to the left and the one on the right is Harry Potter with his lightning scar.

A cute BOO pumpkin

Adriel carved a pumpkin on her pumpkin -- clever!

a wise owl

Judge Baylor

What a friendly Jack-O-Lantern!

Here's my finished product with the pumpkin from the World Hunger Farm.

I opted for a gold paint pen 

and immediately placed it on my mantle when I returned home!

Farm Day

Yesterday, I got to volunteer at the World Hunger Farm's Farm Day.  It was the perfect morning!

There were hay rides, a petting zoo, and a market.

I got to help at the water education table.

We learned about different water usages around the world.

The two larger water barrels represent the amount of water the average America uses per day and the smaller water container is the daily water usage of someone in sub-Saharan Africa.

The World Hunger Farm sold lots of lovely flowers and herbs.

As well as fabulous produce!

They served us delicious tacos for lunch served with home grown veggies.  Even farm fresh jalapenos!

After making a few purchases of my own, I headed out.  While I had been volunteering at the education table, a local couple told me that the oldest school in the county was in a red barn down the road, so I took a little detour to see this piece of history. :)

Once I got home I took stock of all my yummy finds!

I bought homemade whole wheat sourdough bread, a beautiful pumpkin, goat cheese and manchego cheese.

These placemats and napkins were a birthday gift from my sweet friend Lacy.

I think they are such a perfect taste of fall for my table.

I absolutely loved my pumpkin purchase -- such a great color!

Of course I couldn't wait too long to sample the bread and goat cheese.

Delish!

Hope you have a good week!! :)
