Fall Party

Erik and I had a shopping extravaganza today; we shopped for fall decorations and Aiden's birthday. We came home ready to celebrate the autumn season. We made an apple crisp, drank hot apple cider, and made decorations for the house (we made these with the help of Keli and her 3 boys). We decided it was a good time to try on Halloween costumes. Aiden really likes his Spiderman costume! The fake muscles are really funny. Aiden told us that his peck muscles are like breasts--I'm still laughing!

A Real Pumpkin Patch

Being from an area where going to the pumpkin patch involves looking at picked pumpkins on hay bales, I was excited to go to a real pumpkin patch and actually "pick which pumpkin to pick." We went to a place that you rode a train to the pumpkin patch and took a boat ride home. It was great! After, we went to lunch. All of this happened with a bunch of women and their children who I've met through my neighbor, Keli. It was a great day!
