fall fun

fall is my absolute favorite season of the year!  i love the colors, the crispness in the air (whenever it finally makes its way to oklahoma,) the clothes, the food, halloween and the pumpkins!  we do our annual pumpkin patch trip at least once per season, sometimes more and follow up with the hay maze later in the year.

it was a beautiful sunday this past weekend.  lance had to work most of the day and the kids were at each other's throats, so decided we needed to get out of the house to break up the long afternoon.  it was perfect.  the first year i actually got to sit down some.  ahh, we are finally making it to the stage where i can take the kids out by myself and not run completely ragged.  i did have my fill by the end of our visit, but it was still a great way to get the kids out and all of us in better moods.  and of course we got lots of fun pumpkins for our front porch and for carving later this month.

this year ethan's class went to the hay maze as a field trip.  this has been a tradition in our home since before we had kids.  they have a big haze maze in a field with several campfires set out where you cook your own hot dogs and s'mores.  you come home smelling like a campfire but it is totally worth it.  we plan to make another trip back with the entire family.

miles and i will be going to the pumpkin patch this week and we will be getting ready to celebrate halloween night!  looking forward to our little band of superheroes getting excited about candy and spookiness.
