Fall is in the air

Today ended up being a beautiful day after a very chilly start.  I didn't know how nice it would be when the low last night was 24 degrees.  I do like fall, but not the fact that what comes next is winter (and I do not like winter).  I also love Saturdays because it is the only day of the week that we are all here together and we don't have to run around doing a million things.  We actually get to spend time together.  When you have a husband that travels all the time, you really appreciate the time when you can just be together as a family.

We decided to go to a farm nearby to pick our yearly pumpkins.  We had a great time.  We got to go on hay rides (Alex loves tractors),  played in a huge box of corn that was at least a foot deep, had corn mazes, pedal cars and tractors, and of course picking our own pumpkins from the field.  The kids had a lot of fun, and Chris and I have fun watching them.

 Alex had just eaten a black halloween lolly pop, hence the dark teeth

 The corn pit, think we will still be finding corn everywhere.  The kids loved it.

Doing snow angels in the corn!

 Alex loved the picture of the choo choo

 Lilly catching a ride on the wagon with our 5 pumpkins for our front steps.  I promised Chris he only had to carve one of them.  It's not his favorite thing to do, but I told him a must for a childhood activity.
