Pumpkins, Pumpkins, Everywhere!

Fall is a fun time of year! I like pumpkins, see them everywhere, but discovered this week that I do not like what I found inside the pumpkins on our carving night. Yuck!

Happy Fall
Are you sure about this sissy?
I will never have too many train rides
Nice hat Mr. Pumpkin
Downtown trick-or-treating
I absolutely loved it! One of the best parts was seeing real fire fighters drive by in their truck and wave to me!
Happy Halloween!

Friends and the Pumpkin Patch

My favorite little baby turned one (well, we celebrated. Her real birthday is Nov. 1). We went to a great birthday party and a goodbye party. They (our good friends the Grignons) are moving back to Michigan and we are all very sad. We knew this day was coming for a long time, but it is hard to have good friends leave. We are going to miss their family so much! Happy Birthday Baby Therese!
Today (Sunday) we went down to Mount Vernon to go to a different pumpkin farm. Our favorite one up in Everson isn't open on Sundays and we have been so busy, this was our opportunity. It was a nice farm and we picked out some really great pumpkins. Sissy and I wanted to fill up our wheel barrow with pumpkins. I can't wait to carve them!


Therese sure enjoyed her yummy chocolate cupcake!

As did Sissy and I
Therese sat in a big girl chair and opened her presents. She had lots of help from her friends too!

The pumpkin patch had a crazy playground with big tires, tractors, and a huge dirt pile with slides in it.

Look how big we are!

Riding the horsie swing

I think this was my favorite, of course.

Lots of photo opportunities, but it is hard to get two active kids to look at the same time

These different colored squashes and gourds crack me up

Tractor rides are always entertaining

A nice ride out to pick out the perfect pumpkin

Fall

We had some late warm weather, but it has definitely turned to fall the last week or two. Although that means more time inside, I have found some things I really like to pass time.... reading (of course), stickers, and school with sissy. Fall also brings some fun outdoor adventures and I know there are more to come.

Mama thought it was pretty quiet one night and found me here
These are the stickers I love! Grandma Bonnie brought them and I love to stick them on Everything!
Painting our pots at a fall festival
The fruit juice of my labors... I pressed this juice myself
The man in action
Caramel apples put a cheesy grin on my face
Can I eat it yet or do I have to keep smiling???

My finished pot... paint must be on the other side
