Halloween Party Preview and Good News

Friday I told you it was going to be a busy weekend for us.  I wasn't lying.  It was packed.  Our Harry Potter Halloween party went off without a hitch.  It was a blast!  I will have pictures from my photographer and friend eventually and I will share the details with you then, but here are a few I took to show you right away:

My two cuties, all ready for the party to begin!  The treat table was all decked out with delicious treats (although they were, of course, called disgusting names).
Photo: Harry Potter pumpkin dioramas!
One of my favorite things were these pumpkin dioramas.  Didn't they turn out cute?!  My mom printed out pictures and made them dimensional with sticky adhesive squares pressed between the images.  I cut out the holes in these carveable black pumpkins, put floral foam in the bottom--to secure the images--then covered in moss.  I added twigs and foliage to the background of Hagrid's hut.  It was a fun little project that the kids "ooed" and "awwed" over.
More exciting news:  We are adopting a puppy on Wednesday!  We are in love with this little guy and can't wait to introduce you.
