Despite the warm temperatures we continue to have in Texas, we’ve been in the fall spirit for the blog this week. The theme this week was totally pumpkin everything!
We had a little pumpkin carving party last weekend which you probably saw on snapchat (add me with username alexisroch for fun behind the scenes!). My husband and I went with a Ghostbuster’s theme this year. Last year he carved the bulldog which was awesome, but we wanted to change it up a bit.
I will share more pics soon for that!
P.S – thanks to Texas being hot all the time, are pumpkins lasted about 1 full day this year, even inside lol. Last year they lasted two days 🙂 I will be sharing some jack o lantern preservation tips int the next Halloween themed newsletter (probably this weekend!).
We also had some fun food for our party including these fun popcorn balls. I have been making the traditional version of these popcorn balls since highschool! You can read my story on that in this post too. And we made another video too 🙂
This week we also shared this pumpkin waffle recipe! If you only make one pumpkin dish this fall, this should be the one! They are really delicious!
If you still want to throw a pumpkin themed party, don’t forget to check out this post from last year, how to throw an easy pumpkin themed party!
And this is too cute not to share! This is how much he loves pumpkin! When I start to cut one open, or even bring one home from the store he is absolutely thrilled! You can see more of Ruger’s shenanigans on snapchat 🙂

Happy Friday Alexis! It’s been a busy week – readjusting to home life. I love your posts this week about pumpkin, pumpkin, and Halloween. (And Ruger, too, of course). Can’t wait to see your pumpkin carvings. You guys are so creative… when I used to carve pumpkins, it was the typical triangle eyes with goofy smile. Have a good weekend!
Alexis says
Thanks Laurie! I used to carve like that too 🙂 my husband has always been into the challenging ones! Hope you have a wonderful weekend!!

What a great giveaway (and also I can’t get over how cute Ruger is! I LOVE LOVE LOVE bulldogs… we have a pittie here named Buster, dogs are the best). Thanks for this–just entered and keeping fingers crossed because my hair needs to be tamed lol. Stopping in from SITS Sharefest today 🙂
Alexis says
Thanks Charlotte! I agree, dogs are the BEST!! 🙂 Good luck for the giveaway…I totally need help with my hair too. I need this hair straightener bad! So happy you came by today!

A big thank you goes out to making this possible as with a best of luck to one and all… In time, I completed the reading of that in which you wrote… though as much as I’d love to celebrate that of holloween, it might be that of similar to other holidays, a struggle due to finances, so I have to admire from afar. Thus I dont have much in funds, pumpkins are expensive, moreso I dont have the use of my right side (upper extremity) so I couldnt carve that of a jack o’ lantern. In addition, the great opportunity comes when I realized the great opportunity to a lasting 1st impression when I saw this Portable Electric Hair Straightening Brush 3.0 Fastest Heating, Detangling, Styling Anti-Scald Technology would be great when going to special events, parties etc.
Alexis says
Good luck with giveaway! It is definitely a great product that can make life easier 🙂 Have a wonderful day!
J @ Bless Her Heart Y'all says
Oh my gosh that’s so cute that he gets that excited about pumpkins! That stinks that your pumpkins only last a day but I guess that’s pretty normal for TX. And yay for pumpkin everything!
Alexis says
He is crazy over pumpkins lol! Yeah, Texas is so extreme sometimes, but we enjoy it for the most part 🙂 Thanks girl!
Robin says
It’s warm here in SC, too. Highs are still in the 80s on some days. I love that first picture!
Alexis says
I am so ready for some nice cool fall weather soon! Thanks Robin 🙂
