Conversations with a 3 year old...

Me: Guess, what Edyn, I'm not working tomorrow, what do you want to do?

Edyn: Well, I have it all fig-red out.  First we wake up then get those sisters on the bus, then me and Eva play and giggle then you play that game with Eva when you stack up ALL her blocks and you say Eva don't knock over my tower, then she looks at you and smiles then knocks over your tower then you say oh no! you knocked over my tower, then she laughs SO hard and we all laugh, you know that game mom?  Then we put Eva to bed then me and you, we build a tent together then you make me do some homework and I say I don't want to do homework but I kind of like doing my homework.....then we go and have a picnic in the park and play some more....then I just might be tired so I might go to sleep a little but then I really won't because I know you will get on the treadmill and it will be loud so I will just listen to you run because you like to do that....then I wake up and we play some more and maybe we can make brownies together and I can lick the big spoon and you will put more chocolate on it so I have lots of chocolate to lick from the spoon....

Me: Wow, that sounds like a busy day....

Edyn: Yep, that's what mommy's do, they are just busy all the time.

Fall.

One of my most favorite times of the year.  We discovered an orchard very close to our house and we couldn't have been more excited to go pick apples and pumpkins....


 Edyn had to be the taste-tester!
 Grandma Deb and Papa Tom were in town and came to help us pick...
 Looking for bullfrogs...they spotted many little eyes poking out of the mucky water :)
 My attempt to get all four of them...if Eva could talk I'm SURE she would be saying, "I DO NOT want to get my picture taken right now!!!"
 We even got to roast marshmallows...for FREE!  There wasn't even an admission fee to get into this place...so family friendly!
 Hangin' out with Papa...
 Getting a taste of some marshmallows!!
 Time to pick pumpkins...hmmmm....so many choices!!
 Edyn found the perfect one!
 ...And so did Ellie!!
                                                                           Posing with their pumpkins!!
 Family picture time! Hopefully it goes a bit better next weekend :)
 We HIGHLY recommend this place!!! Wonderful owners and just a perfect spot for the whole family!!  We picked approximately 2 bushels of apples, came home with a few pumpkins, apple cider and memories to last a lifetime!!
