Fun Saturday

Despite Luke running a fever since Wednesday we decided to go out and find something fun to do this morning while daddy plays golf. (I took him to the dr yesterday and its just a 'fever virus' which I'm pretty sure means that they don't know what's wrong with him)
Last weekend we saw a pumpkin carving kit while shopping and I decided to go back and get it today. You turn your ordinary pumpkin into Cinderella's carriage! Ella is so excited to do it.
On the way to the park this week I saw that a church down the road had their pumpkin patch set up so I thought we could grab some cfa and have a little picnic and find a pumpkin. When we pulled in I saw signs that they were having their fall festival today. Of course Ella spotted the bounce house right away. We ate our lunch in the back of the car and then went to play. They bounced and 'fished' for prizes and Ella got her face painted. We walked around in the pumpkins but they were really big (= expensive) and who wants to pay $20 for a pumpkin?! Ella was disappointed but I promised we could go get one after church tomorrow since there's an aldi by church and they are only $2.50 there!
Hopefully we can carve it tomorrow, I think she will enjoy getting messy!

Looking for a pumpkin

October!

I love October. It finally starts to cool off outside. The leaves start changing and the mountains look so pretty. There are so many fun things to do. And there are so many birthdays to celebrate! Linkins 7th was on the 2nd. Today is my 31st.
That used to sound so old. I have had a pretty fun weekend. Sister and Michael and sweet Will are here visiting and Bibby and Pop came to ride the train with us to the pumpkin patch. The kids loved it and we all had fun. We had dinner at OG which is always yummy. Although the boys didn't make it back from Dega in time to join us for dinner. We had cookie cake which is my favorite. And very dangerous around me and my mom. It was GONE before lunch today. We talked Bibby and pop into staying the night even though they didn't plan on it and didn't have anything with them. That's what air mattresses are for, right? Today papa stopped to see us on his way back home and the kids were excited to see him for a few minutes. Then we had momma g's for lunch and went in a few stores before nap time. We played and cooked dinner while waiting for the boys to get home from the big race. They had a great time! It's been a good birthday surrounded by family!
I have many close friends with birthdays this month and we will also celebrate Bibby's and Mimi's and Will turns one!
And I can't believe my sweet girl will be three. I remember the day she was born my buddy Pete's oldest had just turned three. He said these next three years will fly by. They definitely have! She is getting too big. I discuss this with her on a daily basis. But she insists on growing up. She says she wants to go to school. But she doesn't want to be a doctor. She wants to be a teacher. I wonder where she possibly gets that from? :) not from me. That's for sure.
We don't have much planned for this week but I am sure we will find some fun things to do!
