Blossom Hill Pumpkin Patch

Okay, I'm 31 weeks pregnant, I'm tried, I'm moving... So, yes, I let my child go to the pumpkin patch in a red shirt, jeans shorts, a CAT hat and blue crocs w/ Thomas charms. I know, I know...I can't believe it either, but it's true. And you know what? He had just as much fun as he would have had in the perfect fall outfit.

We love the small crowds and great prices at our hometown pumpkin patch! Austin had fun running in the corn maze - "Okay, peat after me. We are going right." - and picking out the perfect pumpkins for our new front porch. Some of his choices were a bit questionable but I didn't have the heart to tell him any different. Beauty is in the eye of the pumpkin holder, right? Happy fall, ya'll!

Our Little House on The Prairie: Oct 3 - 7

The Final Week!

 

Carpet, counter tops, closet shelves and mirrors were the finishing touches this week. We did the final walk though on Friday afternoon, and by 5:00 we were officially homeowners! It's hard to believe it's all ours!

(Just for fun... JP at 30 weeks. 30 weeks!!)

Up Next: (Because even though it's "done," it's never REALLY done, right? :)) Cleaning, Shades, Light Bulbs and moving!!

Eckert's {2011}

We made our annual trip to Eckert's a few weekends ago. This year we were joined by Jack, Finley and Lila. It was a fun afternoon full of fresh air, dirt and apples. The apples were a bit rotten, but our kids were well behaved and seemed to enjoy all the "countryfied" activities. Austin, however, was disappointed that none of the tractors really worked. I promised he could mow hay and cut corn silage as soon as we got home. We always enjoy spending time with our "STL Crew" no matter where we end up!

Kalli's Sophomore Homecoming {2011}

We made a quick stop at Lolo and John-John's to see Kalli all dressed up for homecoming. She looked absolutely beautiful! It's hard to believe she's already in her second year of High School!

Sunday School

Another great thing about being three is that you get to go to Sunday School! He really seems to enjoy going each week. So far he's learned about Daniel and the Lion's Den, Joseph's Coat of Many Colors and Joseph's Troubles (Skinny cows eating fat cows!). It's so awesome to hear his interpretation of every bible story. How simple, yet wise their little minds are!
