Big Kid Rooms

M&A's new bedroom furniture has arrived and the transition has been fabulous! The rooms look pretty spiffy; if I do say so myself!


Big girl Bed (theme of the room is Pink & Pigs - of course):



Her own fancy bureau that she is very proud of (the lamp seems to be her favorite part):




More decorations:




Her Reading Corner:

Aidan's Captains Bed - so tall it requires a set of stairs to get up into it:

Aidan's bureau:

Aidan's Reading Corner:

In case you can't guess the theme of the room:

M&A have these fabulous rooms while Mom & Dad sleep in a smorgasboord of furniture leftover from their childhoods. Someday....

Candy Apples

Fall is our favorite time of year and brings lots of great things:


YUMMMMMM



STICKYYYYYYEEEE





And this one's just here to prove that there was a day in history when Maddie actually let me put her hair in pigtails :)

Pumpkin Time!

This weekend we found ourselves at Ward's Berry Farm on a beautiful fall day. They have alot of fall activities for the kids. The biggest hit by far was the tractor-pulled hayride:




The kids shouted "WEEEEEE" and loved when the ride got very bumpy:

I've never been to an official pumpkin patch before and it was pretty cool. Here's Aidan picking his pumpkin right off the vine:

And here's Maddie with her choice:

Although, not shockingly, Aidan preferred to explore the landscape - we're pretty convinced he'll be a naturalist when he grows up:

And, of course, we picked a larger pumpkin for carving:

Things were fabulous, despite a slight snafu at the checkout where M&A decided they didn't feel like waiting in line. I don't blame them :) Next up is the Big Apple Farm for a hayride and some apples. Fall is definitely my favorite time of year!!!
