Pumpkin Picking

Sorry I've been so lax about posting lately but, I the new job and the little ones are keeping super busy. A few weeks ago, my parents and I took the kids to Araujo Farm to pick our pumpkins. They have a hayride and we hoped we'd be able to talk Pat into going. He agreed and we had the best time. I think Renee liked it the most. She kept feeling her way through the hay and trying to eat it. I guess we know what to get her for Christmas. A bale of hay! Patrick was nervous on the hayride out, but loved picking a pumpkin of his very own.

We're going on a hayride!

Fall Festivities

Today was the day we finally went apple picking! To many of you that may seem like no big deal, but I've been trying to go every fall since before Patrick was born. So today we went to Lookout Farm in Natick with Ken's parents. What a cool place. It's been a farm since 1651 and is one of the oldest in the country. We rode the train out to the apple fields and picked our apples. Patrick had a great time. He loved picking the apples off the trees. He called all of the apples on the ground dirty, yucky ones. Renee was a perfect angel, just haging out with Daddy. After apple picking we went over to the children's area to play on the playground and eat some ice cream. (In 50 degree weather....brrr) Then, it was back on the train to the pumpkin patch. Finally, it was back home for dinner and apple pie. MMMMM!

Wedding Bells

Last week was a busy one for us. Both Patrick and Kenny were in our friends Keith and Jamie's wedding. It was a beautiful day, even though it was a bit cool. Patrick was very excited about his job as ring bearer. He kept insisting on holding Livy, the flower girl's hand. (What a flirt!) Patrick was a good boy, and made it all the way down the isle before requesting to leave with me. After the wedding he had a blast at the reception. He stole my camera and took about 300 pictures with it. Mostly of Mat, Angela, and the ceiling. Then he hit the dance floor and partied it up until 9. (Which may sound early, but his normal bedtime is 7:30.)
