A Month to be Thankful For

I haven't been able to blog lately and a lot of that is due in part to the fact the last month or so has been so jam packed...we have been enjoying ourselves so much I didn't have time to stop and document everything.  There was actually a moment in time over the last couple of weeks where we had 3 suitcases in our bedroom that needed to be unpacked from different trips...and not even because I was lazy (for the most part) but that we were coming and going so much*.  But thankfully we take a million pictures (most) everywhere we go so I want to spend this perfectly relaxing Thanksgiving weekend to catch up and reflect....bear with me while I spend some time going back in time...

(*I have to note that those suitcases have been unpacked and all laundry has been done...for now...)

Burt's Big Ol' Pumpkins

We tried a new patch this year...weekend before last we followed some friends up to the mountains and found out what Burt's Pumpkin Patch was all about...enormous pumpkins and giant crowds!  wow, on both accounts.  Luckily we got there early so we were just a tiny bit ahead of the worst of the masses.  When we got there the hayride line was pretty long so we thought we would wait it out and take pics first...big mistake...the next thing I knew the line had backed up all the way to the entrance of the patch.  So, no hayride for us.  It was a gorgeous fall day so that alone was worth the drive but I think we can say we checked Burt's off the list of patches to see!

Face Painting

Matthew (and Lambie) got his face painted too...he was more cool with it than he looks

Trying to pick out his "pu-kins" was exhausting...

...so he had to take a little rest.
