we love fall

There are numerous reasons we love the fall, other than football season! We have taken a couple trips to the cider mill, picked 8 pumpkins, taken strolls to find fall foliage, done art projects, visited friends, decorated pumpkins twice, carved pumpkins once (pictures to come, I forgot my camera), went through a corn maze, and dressed up in our costumes.


Reagan's collection from our fall stroll, she had fun gluing them to paper. She also thought it was fun to glue our carpet - oh well!

We had to miss one of Reagan's art classes due to a 104 degree fever, so we had our own fun at home. Here is Reagan's piece she named "hands."

Here is her piece called "apples." We cut apples in half and used them as stamps.

This was Reagan's last piece from art class. I think this one is my favorite.

We went to Spicer's Orchard with our good friends, Melissa and Alan. Here is a shot of Melissa and her little cutie, Cameron.

I just thought it was really pretty at the pumpkin patch with the sun setting.

Kennedy wanted a little snack, apparently.

Mmmm, that was tasty! Now that my tummy is full, I will smile!

Reagan just likes to watch the other kids pick out pumpkins.

Watching daddy run through the corn maze. We took too long trying to find the seven hidden symbols, so after we found two we headed back out while Daddy ran and found the rest. Good job Daddy, we got free cider and donuts because of you!

Here are the slowpokes... I didn't get a good shot of Daddy because he was so fast!

We went to Lowell to visit the Rolls, and got to see Austin, Kara and Addie too. We dressed the kids up in their costumes, and had a little zoo. Two giraffes, piglet, a monkey and a kangaroo.

Isn't she the cutest little piglet you have ever seen?

Poor Mason felt left out without his Skyler...

Adam took advantage of time to cuddle with my little sleeping beauty.
She got her shirt all wet, that is why she is topless.

Our little pumpkin artists. Reagan, Mason, Hayden, and Addie.
At home we decorated our own pumpkins, because we didn't want to carve them too early and have them rot before Halloween. Here's how they turned out.

And a few more...

Okay, now you are pretty well caught up. I will post pictures from our trip to Virginia when I get another break.
