Goofy kids...It's that wonderful time of year again. The weather is beautiful, the fall landscape is perfect for lots of pretty fall photo ops, and the farms are reeling in the money with all of their festivals and pumpkin sales. This is usually one of my favorite times of year, second only to spring. I am truly a spring girl :) The only problem is...I just had surgery. So as part of my prep for surgery and now my recovery from surgery, we have had to scale down on our fall fun this year.It's okay though. I need to get better and get my life back after all of the issues I have had with my fibroid so it had to go and it had to go in a timely fashion. We've found ways to still enjoy the wonderful Fall weather without overdoing it this year though. We took an abbreivated trip to Weber's Farm in Parkville on the 9th, but just got a pumpkin and some donuts and cider slushes. We have been watching lots of Halloween movies,which the kids have really enjoyed--"Spooky Buddies", "Hocus Pocus", oh and "Princess Charm School" (Amaya's pick of course, but Alex is lying if he says he didn't like it) We have had lots of family movie nights and spent some time decorating our house for Fall and just cuddling together in the house and playing with the kids. This weekend of course, since I am pretty much fully recovered, we'll be steping it up a notch and visiting Dutch Wonderland for their "Happy Hauntings" event. And then of course we're a week away from Halloween and 2 weeks away from Miss Amaya's 2nd birthday, so the fun will come full force in the next few weeks, but for now, we're still taking it easy :)
Alex thinks he has found the perfect pumpkin
"Daddy, can you buy me this weird looking corn please?"
Amaya chillin' with the pumpkins
Alex was fascinated by these bumpy gourds
