It finally FEELS like fall, with jeans and long sleeves and even a jacket needed in the morning! We are finally in the "routine" of school, (rarely the "do I have to go today?"). Alex walks right up to the door and walks right in to school without a glance back at all!
Meemom had a surprise party for her 50th birthday, thrown by Peepop Jerry. She was truly surprised! Peepop made a BIG cake!
This month has been VERY busy!!! We went to the pumpkin patch and did a corn maze (we were in there for 45 minutes - thank goodness for the "helper", standing tall on a pedestal with view of the entire thing to "help" if needed - or I'm not sure we ever would have made it out!).
The pumpkins in the patch struggled a little because of the overabundance of rain that we've had but we still found a good one to bring home. We will be carving it sometime this week, probably tomorrow. Maya is getting so big and she loves when Alex holds her.
They had a cool hay-stack to climb and slide.
Also this month there was a Halloween party at Alex's school, Seven Generations. Alex is Ironman this year. They had a lot of fun games and activities, and even spooky boxes with "brains" (cold spaghetti) and "eyeballs" (peeled grapes) to put your hands into. This instantly reminded me of Lisa Gerken's halloween party that her mom used to put together!!!
Maya was a pumpkin!
They had a game of "eat the donut off the string" - this reminded me of Leone Court Halloween block parties!
Later that day was the Emmaus Halloween parade. Keri and Meghan came over to watch and Alex's friend Joshua was in the parade.
Last but not least, we also went apple picking this past weekend. Jenna came along and Sarah came along with her niece, Kaylee. We had a great time! Here is one of my favorite shots:
All of this and it isn't even Halloween yet! Time is flying by.
