Wrapping up Fall

This post is a little past due, but I'm getting caught up before Thanksgiving arrives! My goal before the baby comes is to get organized. I have so many things to do, our den has stacks of papers I haven't filed. We've lived here more than a year and I still have yet to create our new filing system. Let the nesting begin! I also want to get more pictures hung around the house. The current debate is whether or not I'm going to send Christmas cards and then announcements shortly after or somehow lump both together. Right now, I'm leaning towards both. Anyhow, on to the pictures.....

One of our favorite Fall traditions is heading to Patterson's Farm nearby. This year, Jeremy left work a bit early one afternoon and we met there for a few hours. The weekends are really crowded, so a weeknight was a nice time to go.

Jeremy and Elliot. I love his hat, like all of his clothes, a hand-me-down from Carter.

As you can see, they had a blast!Jeremy attempting the stilts
The kids hiked the pumpkin patch. They would have taken every one home if we'd have let them.

The slides through the woods are super long and super fast. The kids love it! Even Elliot had a few rides down.
Leah got brave after a while and decided to go head-first.

Elliot doing one of his favorite things, driving! He was making an engine noise while steering the wheel.
Sadly, Fall is coming to a close! We're hanging on to these last moments of semi-warm weather by spending lots of time outside. This equates to lots of muddy laundry, well worth the fresh air though. I'm sure I'll be bringing out winter boots and snow pants any day now.
