Fall Fun

We have had a very busy and fun fall. Although the weather today feels nothing like fall (40's and wet), we have had some nice days to enjoy outside. When we can't go outside we have come up with some things to do inside.
A few weeks ago we went to the pumpkin patch in Indy with some friends. They have great pumpkins and the kids have fun finding their perfect pumpkin. We got 2 big pumpkins for a total of 75 lbs.


On fall nights we enjoy lighting our fire pit and making smores. The kids think this is so fun and we really enjoy this family time.



We also baked Halloween cut out cookies. These are my dad's favorite so we try to make some for every season. They are pretty yummy! :)


Since today was cold and wet, we decided to make a gingerbread haunted house. I gave each of the kids a side to decorate.

Now for our traditional fall porch shot... Each year I take a picture of the kids with the same decorations. It is really fun to go back and see how much they have changed. It is also sad to see how fast they are growing up. :(
