Gosh, where did August and September go? How is it almost the middle of October?! I *
really* need to be a better blogger!
We are having a perfect fall weekend. Earlier today we went to a "Fall Fest" at a local park. (I must say, Park District Fall Fests in your neighborhood are the way to go for one year olds...we had originally planned to drive north of the city but it's just not worth the car ride when the one a few blocks away is pretty much the same thing in the eyes of Adam).
Adam got to roam around in the "pumpkin patch" and we managed to snap a few cute pics of him. It was smart getting there when it opened so it wasn't overly crowded. Our neighbors joined us and we tried to get a pic of the three of them, but it was virtually impossible to get all three kids (ages 4, 2, and 1) looking at the camera at the same time! I don't know how people who have 3 kids do it!!
There was a petting zoo that we got to check out for a few minutes. Adam wasn't really too impressed and I think just unsure of the whole situation. He "petted" a few sheep and a small pig (a pig!). He watched the big kids going on the pony rides, and walked to the edge of the park to stand by the gate and watch the cars drive by on Addison (the kid loves cars).
We got home and I managed to whip up 2 pumpkin rolls and some crock pot pumpkin spice lattes (2 fall staples in our house!) during his nap. We're spending the rest of the afternoon watching football and later on we'll go for a walk and (maybe) check out another Fall Fest at a park in the other direction.
Hopefully it will be enough to wear Adam out so we can enjoy a few beers and homemade pizza tonight for the Penn State game! Tomorrow we are having some family photos taken, kind of spur of the moment, but I'm really excited for them! Stay tuned for lots of pics! :)
