Pumpkin Decorating

It is that time of year- the one where I force my kids to clean out their pumpkins (which they loathe) and take pictures of them as they squirm. Then I let them paint them, my kids covered in paint makes me squirm so I figure we are even when all is said and done.

Hill Ridge Farms

We had a very "fall" day today- even with the temperature being almost 90 degrees. We went to a Hill Ridge Farms which has hay rides, pumpkin picking, hay barns you can play in, pig/duck/ goat races, train rides, unhealthy food, and so much more. We had a great time and headed out right as it started to get crowded. Now if the weather would cooperate it might actually start to feel like fall! 

Weekend at the Beach

We took a last minute trip to Emerald Isle to see my friend Nicki and her family who had traveled in from Texas. We had such a great time! Lots of running, dancing, digging in the sand, playing ipad and eating. It was a great weekend and the weather was perfect. 

Backyard Movie Night

We had our first (hopefully of many) backyard movie night. My brother bought us a projector and movie screen and we have been meaning to try it out for awhile now and I'm so glad we did. Everyone had a great time and all the kids loved watching Wreck It Ralph and snuggling up in the fall weather.
