Given the fact that I have so much going on with my life, it is rare that I can spend any time during the weekend for fun. But since I had Bella all weekend and all the poor kid ever does with me on the weekends is run errands with me, I thought it would be cool to change it up a bit. After we left my regular Sat AM Weight Watchers class we were off to the mall to pick up our copy of Sleeping Beauty. While we were there she asked if she could Build A Bear. I said why not! I pretty much always say no, but thought that today could just be all about her. It was still pretty early in the day and I was trying to think of something else that we could do. The weather was gorgeous, in the low 70s, so I thought it would be cool if we went to a local farm and went pumpkin picking. I have not been to Duffields, since I was a kid. Since it is in the town where I grew up, I was always there for field trips and my mom would take us there to go strawberry picking in the summer. She would also take us there for the occasional cider donut! When we arrived at the farm I was in shock. It was PACKED. There were cars everywhere and they even had parking attendants showing you where to park. CRAZY! There was also a lot of activities to take part in. I bought Bella a wristband that included a hayride to the pumpkin patch, one pumpkin, a walk through the corn maze, a turn in the moon bounce, and a ride on the Barnyard express (a little tractor ride for kids). All for $15..what a steal! We had a blast, it was so much fun just living in the moment with her and watching her have fun. On Sunday, we had a day off from soccer so we lounged around the house for the day. Then after dinner we painted our pumpkins to put on the front step to go along with the other Halloween decorations we put up. She was so proud of her creation! In all, it was a really fun weekend and it was nice to forget about the routine stuff for a little while and let the kid in you come out. One other thing...those cider donuts taste just as good as they did when I was a kid!
She is so cute and getting so big. I know that ya'll had fun at the pumpkin patch. I took Teagan to one last week. They didn't do all the other cool stuff that ya'll got to do though. Hope that ya'll are doing well!!
