Fall Fun

Already past the peak of Fall leaves, it's hard to believe that we're almost through October and coming to the end of Fall. In the midst of our move, we've still enjoyed some fun activities that the yellows, reds and oranges bring. Unfortunately, we missed apple picking between looking for houses and travel and moving, but we did manage to enjoy the pumpkin patch. On a fairly cold, gray and windy day, we ventured out to gather some pumpkins for our family to enjoy, and we'll be carving this week, maybe tomorrow. This pumpkin patch happened to feature some games and things for kids, so we had fun. Although you don't actually get to pick your pumpkin off the vine, so that was a little disappointing. Next year, I know of a really cool farm which we will visit. But, we had fun....

playing with the pumpkins at home - a family one, a small one, and a tall skinny one - like Henry!

They had a really cool inflated pillow basically that you could bounce on. We waited for the older kids to clear off, and Henry really loved bouncing on the huge pillow. He giggled like crazy - we love his little laugh! Henry really loved when Mommy or Daddy bounced him high!

Last weekend was pretty on Sunday, so we spent the day playing outside and tackling the many leaves in our backyard. We love our backyard, but man, there are a lot of leaves! Somebody get this little boy a little rake :)
We had to show Henry how to jump in a pile of leaves. After that, he had big fun doing so!

Thanks for the help, Henry. One leaf at a time.

Henry is interested in all things boys - balls, trucks, and power tools

Pulling all the bags out of the box is great fun - they just keep coming, and coming and coming!

And to top it all off? A SPOOOOOOOOKY Tub!
