Fall is here!

With fall in full swing now, we say bring on all the pumpkins and activities we can get. The air has gotten cool and crisp. Payten finished off her baseball season at the beginning of the month just in time. her last game was a bit cool but we bundled up and tried to stay warm as we went into the cool night.

 

This last weekend we defiantly got into the fall spirit. The kids did not have school Friday so we headed out after Allyxis's speech therapy to the apple orchard. my best friend and her kids along with us loaded into their big van and went apple picking. I was surprised at how much fun the kids had picking. It didn't take long to get a bunch of apples with all them picking. Each family ended up with about 16 pounds of apples.

 

Following apple picking we headed to grandma's house to pick pumpkins out of her garden. Mom had a big garden this summer and pumpkins were a big part of it. I was very surprised at how many we actually got. each kid got at least one pumpkin to take home along with a couple of squash. Our porch now fits the fall theme. Thanks mom!

 

Saturday was Fall Fest in the park. although the weather wasn't the nicest we(me and Sam) took the kids out and let them play some games and do the cake walk. It rained on us a little but the we didn't mind. The kids won some little prized at the games and payten won the cake walk twice while we were there so we brought home some cookies and cupcakes. following that we dropped the boys off to be watch for a bit and all us girls headed to the women's expo. We got a lot of little freebies and took pictures in a few photo booths. We had a lot of fun!

After a couple of busy days we had yet another busy day of fall activities. My brothers birthday was Sunday so we went to mom and dads house to celebrate. The kids and Cody painted pumpkins before it got dark then headed inside to have chili and cornbread. Cody opened presents and we all had cake. While we cleaned up dinner and got all the presents ready the kids and guys got to watch The Croods. I think we all had fun and w were so glad that we were able to take Wyatt with us to be part of all the family activities.
