This past weekend, we checked Uchiko off our Ultimate Austin List. We went for happy hour and it was amazing! The brussels sprouts were so incredible that I’m still thinking about them. I pinned a few supposedly similar recipes. And, I’m thinking of trying them out for Thanksgiving.

How was your Halloween? We lucked out and the rain stopped Halloween morning. Em + her dance friends were all fairies – Periwinkle, Tinker Bell and a woodland fairy – and went trick-or-treating together. So cute!!

This year, not only did we hit up a local pumpkin patch, we also drove out to Bastrop for the Fall Fest + Corn Maze. We promptly got rained out but had a blast nevertheless. Looking forward to trick or treating tonight! Em’s going as her favorite fairy.

This weekend, some special friends came to Austin to celebrate friendships + have fun.

Some things we did? Well, G’Raj Mahal Cafe + Rainey Street, Iron CactusEsther’s Follies, 6th StreetPhil’s Icehouse, Central Market, Pinthouse Pizza and The Oasis. There was also Shady Grove, hiking Mount Bonnell, a Pubcrawler, Austin Water Bikes + Bats, shopping on SoCo, Amy’s Ice Cream, Torchy’s Tacos and Stubb’s Bar-B-Q.

Needless to say, I was able to cross a few things off our Austin list.

Thanks for the ton-o-fun, girls!

Here’s what Em loved when she was two and a half years old. She also loved a few big things like her trampoline but these are smaller items that are priced nicely for gift giving.

Doctor Set – This is a great set with lots of fun things inside.

Matching Game – There are many versions of this game. For boys, I like gifting the superhero set.

Storybook Collection Books – We got this book on our second trip to Disney. I fell in love with the vintage graphics. It’s a beautiful, thick book with gilded pages and it contains seventeen short stories. Again, there are many versions including a Christmas edition and a superhero version.

Puzzles – Four wooden puzzles are included in this set and they are all contained in a divided wooden box.

Look and Find Books – Em loves seek and find books. This is her absolute favorite. At two and a half years old, I think she read it daily.
