My Favorite Time of Year!

Growing up in North Carolina, I really learned to love love love FALL! I love seeing the different colored leaves on the trees (and an occasional drive down the Blue Ridge Parkway) and the brisk weather. Putting on sweaters and having bonfires, drinking apple cider, etc. Things are a little bit different now that I'm in Nebraska - but not by much. Here, our fall is just a bit shorter is all, which means that we just cram everything in. This weekend was chock full of such behavior.  Friday, the little guy and me went with my mother in law to do a little shopping and came across this little beauty. 


 Isn't he just ADORABLE!? Ok so I'm a proud mama, what can I say? And I put him in his little festive Mickey hoodie! Goodness I love that little boy so much!  Well anyways, Today we went to the local Pumpkin Patch to pick out the PERFECT pumpkin!



Well, after quite some time, my little guy found what he deemed the "perfect punkin". Daddy had to carry it because it was so big! We also got some small pumpkins for family craft time. Today after nap time we decided to paint them. We all did our own painting with q-tips and black acrylic paint. I made an "emo" pumpkin and the hubs painted a "spider" pumpkin (looks like a spider on top) The little guy just went a little crazy, in typical 2 year old fashion. He had an absolute blast and I think we might have to do it again before Halloween.


I hope that you enjoy all of your fall festivities as well, whatever they may be. Until next time, I am signing off. My homemade Chicken  Broccoli Alfredo Bake is ready and I am starving!
