Fall!

There's something about this time of year that makes me want to stay inside and eat pies and crisps and drink hot apple cider. Fall is by far my favorite season. Pleasant weather, changing leaves, and the start of the baking season. What could be better?

I have come to find out that seasons and holidays are so much more fun with kids. The joy on their faces from experiencing something new or receiving a gift is priceless. Who wouldn't want to make cookies for Quinn when he says "cookies" so cute and has a huge grin on his face when he gets one? I can't refuse him. His happiness makes me happy.

The weather was beautiful today so we went out to a pumpkin patch to get a pumpkin for Quinn and see the animals in the petting zoo. I'm always showing Quinn these animals in pictures and making the sounds, but he finally got to see cows, sheeps, goats, and chickens in real life. It was so fun! Sure enough, when Chris was feeding a goat some corn, Quinn made a bee line for the pond and got one leg wet. Chris snatched him out, and we didn't let the wet shoe ruin our day.

On another fall day we raked leaves at Grandma's and Grandpa's.I couldn't get him to hold still to take a decent picture, but I did my best.
