This year the kids and I decided to make a few fall treats for friends and family. We spent a week making them and made a different treat each night. This is how it went- one in the box, one in our mouth...
I'm thinking it wasn't the greatest thing to do before bed, but we had a great time. At the end of the week we packaged them all up and made our deliveries. 
This past week we had a few warm days. We cherished the time and spent every moment outside that we could. We have trees in our yard, but the leaves always blow out. The kids wanted to make a leaf pile, but our pile looked really sad, so we raked both of our neighbors yard and brought the leaves into our yard. I was sure Todd would be more than thrilled with my choice of doing this...oh well!
We also went to Longs to get pumpkins one day after work, but they didn't have any. They told us to come back the next day and they would have more out- they only do hayrides back to the pumpkin patch on the weekends. 
We had donuts and cider, but I was so frustrated with the whole situation. Who doesn't have pumpkins out right before Halloween and who charges $8 a person (not including the pumpkins) for a hayride...UGH!!!! That means it would be $43 for our family to take a hayride and buy 2 pumpkins- that's crazy!!!!!
This morning we went to our favorite place, Three Cedars! It is such a great place or kids to play, take hayrides, pick pumpkins and take pictures. Jackson has been asking to go there for a couple of weeks, so he was thrilled when we told him we were going. It was a beautiful morning, chilly, but sunny. We picked out a few great pumpkins, played and had donuts and cider. Fun had by all! 
Now we are eagerly awaiting Halloween. Fingers crossed for good weather!
