Fall Fun

I think I may have passed my obsession with fall onto my kids. In the last month and a half we have graced pumpkin patches, apple orchards and numerous fall festivals. We've been doing this for years, but the difference is that my boys finally caught onto the hype and couldn't get enough of fall and all of it's wonderfulness! To feed this obsession we even checked out dozens of fall themed library books. Everyday Sam drew a handful of pictures filled with jack-o-lanterns, ghosts, and haunted houses. Halloween was also a big event with Sam dressed as Captain Hook and Luke playing the role of Peter Pan. My parents came down to trick or treat with us (along with some of our friends) in Grant and Jen (Andrew's brother and sister in law) and Andrew's parent's neighborhood. Unfortunately, my kids went through withdraw the moment the candy was gone and the Halloween decor came down (apparently turkeys and cornucopias are not as cool as bats and witches- that's news to me).

I know that winter doesn't officially begin for another month, but with the weather turning and the leaves quickly dropping, it seems like a good time to make peace with the fact we had a great fall this year. Ohh, and I can't end this post without mentioning the Phillies' World Series win and the immense joy it brought Andrew!

Yes that is Sam in a wig, and he loved every minute of it.
