I know it is not truly Autumn time anymore but here is a catch up of what we did this autumn. First, the last three years we have gone to my parents in Idaho and picked apples. While there we also went to one the best pumpkin patches I have ever seen, in Idaho Falls. There were so many pumpkins, gords, and a train and maze for the kids. The kids loved it and to be honest, so did I.
Then we had a really fun birthday for cousin Josh. He turned three and they had put together these really cute ideas for pictures. Alice kept sneaking into other people's pictures which I thought was awesome. She loved holding up lips in front of her face. Daniel tried on the clown nose and kept it on for quite awhile. My kids are pretty cute.
For Halloween we had a small gathering of children over to make monster cupcakes and cookies. The kids had tons of fun and I think I would have had more fun except of course I was slightly disorganized. One day I will get with it, not for awhile though. Then we went trick or treating on Halloween and I was so glad that it was warm. Last year was so cold and my kids froze, but this year they made it through a huge part of our neighborhood. Jason was designated the neighborhood walker while I read a novel and answered the door. It was awesome.
Thanksgiving was a blah holiday around here. Jason was pretty miserable from having his foot cut into and I was exhausted. Jason's dad was nice enough to bring us a nice thanksgiving meal that was still warm when it showed up. We were very grateful for that. I was especially grateful for the wonderful pie my mom sent home with my sister and truth be told I have eaten most of it already. Eating too much pie is one thing I have decided to blame on the growing baby. We had much to be thankful for this year and are very grateful for the blessings that we have received this year.
There will hopefully be a following post soon about our already crazy and busy winter. But for those who are curious, Jason's surgery on his ankle tendons went well and he is recovering as well as we can tell. His doctor appointment tomorrow should bring more info on that. We are hoping he will have a working foot by the time the baby comes which is in about 12 weeks from now.
