Pumpkin Patch!

Today, Sarah didn't have school, and Bryan had a really short morning at work, so when Jackson and I got home from Bible study, we went to the pumpkin patch!  Fall is our favorite season, and the pumpkin patch is our favorite fall tradition!  In fact, this is our 12th year to go!

 

Love!

Neither of them are looking, but they're both smiling, so it's still a cute picture!

We went on a hay ride!

Jackson cried on the hay ride last year, but this year, he loved it!  Thank goodness!

I love this guy!

 Polka dots!

 

Sarah and Jackson went on the slide together...

...only Sarah couldn't actually slide down because of her pants, so she ended up walking down it!

Jackson loved playing in all of the trains and tractors!

And even Bryan had fun playing!

Jack is yelling, "all aboard!" here!

Two cuties!

I love the sweetness!

This is one of my favorites!

Jackson really wanted to climb this huge haystack...

...and Daddy was more than happy to help!

So sweet.

They were so happy when they made it all the way to the top!

I love this one!  And I really love them!

His smile kills me!

Sarah found the perfect pumpkin!

Jackson loved going through the maze.

 

J picked out a little pumpkin for all four of us.

Then, he picked out a big one for himself!

When we got home, Jack couldn't wait to put the pumpkins on the front porch!

This is where he thought they looked best!

School Fun

Jackson is loving preschool thus far!  And we love hearing about his day each time he goes!

 

A couple of weeks ago, Jackson made this number chart, and he was so proud of himself!  He loves counting all of the Fruit Loops!

And last week, he finger painted this dinosaur, and I love it so much!  Both creations are hanging on the fridge!

Today, our local fire department came to the church for a visit!  J loves when they come, and he really loves the firefighter helmet he got!

What a cutie!

Food Fun

We love food at our house!  And lately, we've had some really yummy food!

Bryan and I really like to have meat and cheese nights for little dates after we've tucked the kids in, but last week, we thought it would be fun to do one with them!  We had meat, cheese, crackers, fruit, and dip.  The kids loved it!

 

 

Jackson's favorite dessert is apple dumplings, so on Sunday, I made them for him!  We actually had a big lunch after church, so these were dinner for the kids!!  When they came out of the oven, Jackson said, "They smell divine!"  He cracks us up!

 

Late Sunday night, Bryan went to get us tacos and queso from Fuzzy's.  It was a fun little at home date, and it was also national taco day!

 

I've made Oreo Truffles many times before, but lately, we've been devouring the Pumpkin Spice Oreos, so I thought why not make Oreo Truffles using those!  This afternoon while both kids were at school, I made some, then topped them with salted caramel sauce!  They are so yummy!!
