Foodie Friday--Pumpkin Patch Rice Crispy Treats

  I found this recipe here. She piped icing for leaves, but I may or may not do that before I serve these Sunday for my baby's 2nd birthday!!! Happy Happy Birthday, Andrew! 

You're getting a little sneak peak of next week's tablescape!

 Sweet scarecrows and pumpkins will greet you at our door!

 Our glass door doesn't allow for a thick wreath on the front door, so this hangs inside. I've had it for years. I made it with picks and have added some each year until I liked the fullness.

 I love mums and they were all on sale at Lowe's this week! I had credit because their plants are returnable for a year and 3 Mexican Heathers that I planted a month ago did not survive our drought.

All kinds of red

 As much as I love blue and white, I am a big fan of red. I think you've seen everything I used today in several different tablescapes. Nothing is new, just a new way of putting it together.

 So today I just used red...red glass dinner and salad plates, red wine stems, red champagne stems, red glass hurricane, red mosaic hurricanes, and red glass votive candle holders. I had a lot of fun this week taking pictures! This is a photo heavy post...just a warning!

 I took pictures on two different days and changed the centerpiece...added the pedestal bowl...took it away.

 I love the way the candlelight hit this stem.

bokeh! I rarely achieve this in my photography! I can't wait to play around this Christmas with lights!

My husband gave me these red stems. Sadly one of the wine stems broke before we moved.

 I added a gold rimmed plate between the two red glass plates. 

You can see the glass pattern better because of it.

Abstract Firetruck Bento

I haven't posted a bento lunch in a long time. I usually just post a quick picture on facebook and then forget about it! So here is an abstract (very) take on a firetruck...Adrian's kids' day out program had a visit from the fire station today, so I thought this would be fun. I thought my pack of transportation picks had firetrucks, but they were dump trucks..so I used my imagination instead!

Peanut Butter and Jelly wheels

Red silicone (truck body) cups filled with marshmallows and cheese

salami hoses with two yellow firefighters
He had apple sauce on the side in a cute little fire dog cup!

Table for Two...two ways!

This morning, I decided to do something fun for my boys...I usually try to arrange a table on Tuesday when Adrian is at school and then take pictures when the lighting is good after he comes home or Wednesday during naps...didn't happen, so I rushed through a couple tablescapes...one for the boys and one for the mommies!

Silver plate trivet...I don't know if this was my mom's or grandmother's...I'll ask my mom when she gets back from her trip to Russia. She said she bought me a great find for tablescaping! Can you see my boys in the background? 
If I were using this, I'd serve yogurt and berries in the champagne glasses, scones on the bread plates, and a mixed green salad with pears and pecans on the salad plate...but I'm not!

I realized the napkins didn't get set by the time I cleaned up...oh well!

before they sat down....I put the breakfast taco fixings in the pumpkin serving tray. (hobby lobby clearance last year)

sweet little fall plates from Target

all done!

Fall pumpkin muffin cup meal

I got these cute pumpkin muffin cups last year at Hobby Lobby on clearance. Love using them in my boys' bento lunches and snacks. They don't fit in a muffin tin, so I set them out on a pumpkin felt place mat (Dollar Tree) for fun!

My boys split this...

orange banana strawberry shake in a mason jar

graham crackers

marshmallows with scarecrow picks (Cake supply store last year)

craisans

grilled cheese acorns with an acorn pick (Party City last year, but they have them out now)

Cheese tortilla chips

Apple sauce (spoon from Target $spot last year) 

 I hope your week is FALL-abulous!!!!

Can you see the poison ivy???

my sweet Andrew got into poison ivy or something...his arm has a rash from his wrist to elbow!

I have looked online at all the pictures and I can't seem to identify what my little boys are getting into in their yard...we have been to the park this week, but I'm pretty sure the rash came from after playing outside in OUR backyard. Do any of y'all see it? I'd love to hear your comments! If you see it, just tell me which picture!
