My parents, our friend Gail, and Ben's brother stayed at our house last night following my concert. Ben's mom drove up from Portland, Oregon, this morning to spend the weekend with us too. After she arrived and we had lunch, we drove up to The Farm at Swan's Train in Snohomish, Washington, to check out a pumpkin patch. It was raining, but we didn't have many other options since Halloween is tomorrow:) We had a great time despite the rain. Katie tromped in the field, tried to pick up large pumpkins, and looked adorable in her raincoat and mittens. Here are a few of my favorite photos from our pumpkin patch outing.
Today I got to celebrate my birthday for a second time. Lucky me! We went with an Italian meal for our dinner. I made bucatini pasta with my KitchenAid pasta attachment. Bucatini is a thick spaghetti-like pasta with a hole running through it. Ben was in charge of making the roasted red pepper and bacon sauce. We had a caesar salad and soft breadsticks on the side.
For dessert, my dad brought his blue ribbon winning whole wheat chocolate cake. It was delicious and definitely deserving of a blue ribbon. We had mint chocolate ice cream to go with the cake. Katie wasn't very interested in cake, but she could have eaten twice as much "hih-cream" as we let her have.
