Meet Elizabeth’s pumpkin.
 He’s Lil’ Dude, the wanna-be gansta. 
He’s rockin’ the green thumbtack nose and cardboard shoes look. Lil’ Dude’s wants us to spread the word that he’s looking around for a high-quality pumpkin gang to join.
{I can’t believe I just spoke for a pumpkin. Clearly I need to find SOMETHING a little more productive to do with myself and my time.}

In other news, our house is going to be bursting at the seams with visitors this weekend. The visitors, who may or may not overlap, are as follows:

Christopher
Grandma and Grandpa from Florida
Daniel and Erika
Marissa
Hannah, Willie & Co.
Nicholas {he never misses an opportunity to not-so-coincidentally come over when we have company}
Jimmy, Debbie & Alyssa {or some combination thereof} 
Carol, Brian, Zachary and Molly

It’s going to be a BIG social weekend for us but like I always say, the more the merrier {especially if it involves food}.
