FALL + LEAF PILE = FUN!!!

Fall has to be one of my favorite seasons. I LOVE the color changing of the leaves, the crisp air, the smell of apple cider, and watching my kids play in the leaves. We have over an acre of land surrounded by lots of trees. So there is always leaves on the ground. Rob made a huge pile in the backyard for the kids to play in. They had a blast and I had fun taking pictures of them!! Here are some of my favorites!!

Pumpkin Picking and Pumpkin Decorating

We took our annual trip to Alstede Farms to go pumpkin picking with our good friends the Cobo's!! The kids had fun going on the hayride out to the pumpkin patch and then raced off to find the best, biggest pumpkins they could find!! And of course we took family pictures in the pumpkin patch. I LOVE this time of year!! Going to the farm to go pumpkin picking + getting apple cider and doughnuts = a fun time with our family and friends!!

This year instead of carving our traditional pumpkins for Halloween, we decided to use these cute potato head pieces to decorate our pumpkins! They were a big hit and he kids had fun decorating with them! Cole and Chloe ready to decorate their pumpkins!!
