Pumpkins and a Quilt!

Life is a little chaotic over here these days. The house seems to be a constant mess. Dinner rarely gets done in time or at all. There are kids screaming and running and jumping all over us. I'm exhausted! But we're having fun! And if there's ever going to be a time my house falls apart, it may as well be when I'm 8 months pregnant and have a 3 year old and 1 year old.

Last weekend, we hit up 2 pumpkin patches! We went to one here in town with our friends Amanda and Brian, like we do every year. Such a fun tradition. And then Juan and I ventured way out of town to the middle of nowhere to another Pumpkin Patch the next day! Two days in a row of girls yelling, Pumpkins!

 Thank you to Amanda, our photographer. So nice to have someone to capture a full family shot! Here we are last year, and the year before!

 Juan and I are getting such good pictures together. He just loves it :)

And with a 3rd child comes a 3rd quilt! I sometimes pretend I am a person who sews. But the truth is, I've only ever made 3 quilts. But they are important ones, one for each of my babies. I present to you:

Oscar's quilt! Oscar is the pretty set in stone name for our baby boy. And I love how the quilt turned out. There was a lot of rearranging and dropping some fabric, going to find more. Girl fabric seems to be more abundant in fabric stores. A refresher on each of the girl's quilts: here and here.

And 36 weeks.

Date Night

Date nights out are pretty rare around here. I like to think we make the most of our time together after the kids go to bed. And Juan and I are both the type that prefer to be in sweats and at home anyway. We don't necessarily love dressing up and getting out. But every now and then, it is a lot of fun. We got out this last weekend and went on a food truck crawl. I love how charming and full of character downtown Austin is, and the food trucks are a big part of that. We ended up hitting 4 trucks: asian fusion, philly cheesesteak, mexican, and dessert. Here are pictures from our night:

 Delicious and very fresh food from Pueblo Viejo. And quite authentic mexican food.

 And Gourdough's. After 2+ years of living here, we finally made it to Gourdough's. And it hasn't left my mind ever since, we both died over how delicious it was. Juan, you up for another trip there this weekend?

 I'm obviously not awesome at taking food pictures in the dark. Those are grilled bananas if you can't tell.

And more stuff going on:

 I got a dresser from Craig's list and the girls helped me put a new layer of white on it.

 Finished product. I love.

Last week at 33 weeks. I am 34 weeks now.

And my cute family, slide racing.
