Playing In The Leaves

Oh, I'm so, so sad to see the leaves falling! Why? Because autumn in Virginia is the prettiest in the world. Sorry, it's true. AND, winter in Virginia just stinks. Snow. Cold. Stuck inside. Bleh. So, we're soaking in these last golden days of autumn!

Halloween Parade

Every year, for the sixty-one years (!) of its existence, the boys' preschool has the Annual Halloween Parade. This year, Nathan was a hammerhead shark! What a cutie! My mom came in town to watch him in the parade, and Scott was even able to make it. It was so much fun!

The Painter

We're repainting our pergola in the back yard. Jack, of course, decided to help.

Autumn Cuties

My mom made these shirts for the boys, so I used that as the perfect excuse to get some cute pictures of them before school!

Pumpkin Patch Time!

When I told Nathan that we were going to the pumpkin patch, he shouted, "The pumpkin patch!? I LOVE the pumpkin patch! It's my favorite place!"

First order of business? "The cow train," as we call it. Nathan LOVED it last year; he did not care for it too much this year! He only rode it once, and then he said, "Mom, that was going too fast."

Nathan did the underground slide. He went FAST!

Then, the boys tackled the spider web. Jack loved it!

 

Then time for bouncing! Jack totally didn't meet the height requirement, but we pretended not to notice and we let him go in anyway. I mean, he weighs as much as a three year old, so I think we're good!

 

 

It was then time to run through the corn maze. . . over and over and over again!

 

 

We had such a great time at the pumpkin patch--as we always do! It's surreal that we're coming "back" to the pumpkin patch this year. We're making traditions. . . in Virginia!
