The weather has been beautiful the last few days, so we have spent time outside playing, as well as putting up our fall decorations. As much as I love summer, fall has to be my second favorite time of the year. The house looks so nice with fall centerpieces on the table and pumpkin spice candles burning.
Saturday we went to the pumpkin patch. Evan's class is going this week for a field trip, on a day that Evan doesn't go to school. So, we promised him we would go as a family instead. Actually, his school said he could switch days and come with them, but since Evan just started back up with swimming lessons we decided against it. There are only 4 lessons in session and it would be a waste of money to not have him go.
Anyway, the boys had fun picking some more apples at the apple orchard and then picking out some pumpkins. I don't have very many pictures of pumpkin picking because the pumpkins weren't great. We ended up just picking some out of what the farm had picked out.
After that was a trip to the mall to replace our old laptop with an Apple one. Nothing fancy, but our old one had gotten to the point it was unusable, it was so slow. So, now I can do my blog without it taking an hour. We will probably strip down the other one and then let the boys use it to play computer learning games.
Saturday evening we were invited over to a neighbors home who I had met at a ladies night. Us and another family went over and enjoyed dinner and hanging out. The kids also had fun, even though most the other kids were girls. At one point all the kids went upstairs and the Mom went to check on them. Turns out they were in the girls room with the lights off and a disco ball going and they were having a dance party and giggling! I'm so glad the kids are having so much fun in our new neighborhood.
Today was just a lazy Sunday. Dennis did yet another trip to goodwill (we definitely brought too much junk with us from our old house). This trip included, among a few other things, 2 old tube TVs. We thought maybe we could sell the big one on Craigslist. But it is so old and heavy we figured nobody would want it. Dennis and the boys also spent some time playing ball outside and enjoying the warm weather.
It was just a great fall weekend...
