Harvest Princess

This past week we really got into the Fall spirit around here. The leaves are changing, temperatures dropping and I swear I have even smelled a few fires burning some nights! I wanted to dress up the house exterior a little -- give it a cozy feeling for the new season. A bale of straw, some pumpkins, gourds, Indian corn and mums can go a long way! Then we had an idea -- how cute would some pictures of Hailey be in our little harvest setting? Excellent idea in theory -- a little harder to execute! Here is our little Harvest Princess doing her best to check out everything around her and totally ignore mommy and daddy's pleas to sit still and smile for the camera!

And ofcourse, since we did take somewhere around 50 pictures trying to get a good shot, here are some bloopers for your viewing pleasure -- commentary provided!!

"Mmmmmmmm ... Mums!"












"Back off mom!! Just let me eat ONE!"











<-- Note the look of disgust and loathing .. "Seriously?! You think corn is going to distract me??"

Moments later ... "mmmmmm ... corn"

"Ah ha! I knew it, I knew they hid the straw somewhere around here!!!"
Finally we gave up on the harvest scene! We just decided to put her in the candy bowl out front in hopes that someone will take her on Halloween night!!
