Fall Fun!

We have been having lots of fall fun the past week. The weather has been gorgeous and we have all be enjoying it. We have lots of leaves in our yard and driveway. I raked a few up the other day for Oliver to play in. He thought it was pretty exciting. Eventually we'll probably rake leaves and bag them up, but too many of the trees still have green leaves on them for me to think it is a good idea quite this early.

On Sunday after church, we took a trip to the pumpkin patch/apple orchard. The weather was perfect and we got there shortly after they opened so they weren't super busy. By the time we were heading out, it was definitely getting a lot more crowded.

The three of us on the wagon ride. Oliver loved this. He was a little confused because a tractor pulled it and he definitely would have preferred a tractor ride.

Eric and Oliver went on the big, inflatable slide a few times. This was a big hit with Oliver and I think he would have done it as many times as we would have let him.

I found it!

Washing our pumpkins

Yesterday, Oliver painted with Halloween colors. He loves painting and painted three pictures.

At Blain's awhile ago, they had some drawings and I put my name in hoping to win tickets to Sesame Street Live, instead I won a big pumpkin with treats. So we are the proud owners of a giant stuffed pumpkin with arms and legs. Oliver has been enjoying the little toys that came in it.

Hopefully everyone else has been having nice weather and been able to enjoy it. We've had windows open the past few days. Tomorrow is supposed to cool down, but the weekend is supposed to be 70 so it looks like we'll have a few more warm days.
