Picturesque Pumpkins

Kaden & Kendall pose w/ their new pumpkin once we got home.

Kaden made new friends at the class and was happy to show off all the decorated pumpkins. I don't think my son has ever met a stranger!

Kaden gets hands on digging out pumpkin seeds

Kaden attended the picturesque pumpkins Kids Korner class at A La Carte in Marietta yesterday afternoon. He had a wonderful time digging out the pumpkin "guts" as he called it and creating his pumpkin, which he later named Spike, and rightfully so. The teacher and owner, Kelly, has that natural ability to be fun and informative w/ the kids and Kaden took to her right away. He is already excited to join the next Kids Korner class, Pizza from Scratch. The classes only last an hour and it gave me time to run over to the Avenues and hit up a couple of stores.

However, before the class we enjoyed lunch at A La Carte's new cafe. It is a limited menu in a small bistro setting but I sampled most of it and it was all delicious. Not to be missed is the tomato basil soup w/ cheesy rolls on the side...reminded me of La Madeline's signature soup...I loved it. The chicken salad was also very tasty. They also offer a kids menu that includes a Wow Sandwich, which includes peanut butter, bananas, marshmellow cream and chocolate chips! We were also offered free samplings of their dipping sauces and Kendall's favorite, the all natural chocolates.

I will definitly be picking up a few of their ready made meals to serve for dinner at home on our next visit.

If you are planning on visiting for lunch you may want to bring your own booster or bring in the stroller as they do not offer a high chair, which was their only negative.
