Perfect fall weekend? Check, check, check.
I really do wish every day was a Saturday in the fall!!
We started this past weekend off with pizza and s’mores at our neighbor’s house. If only we lived right next door to Sarah and Craig so that the fun could continue after we put our kids to bed!! Instead we headed back to our house and settled for the Royals game (and reading a few blogs) on the back porch…which wasn’t too shabby either, I suppose 😉
Saturday was all about the pumpkin patch! Every year my mom and dad gets some awesome passes from their insurance agent and we have gotten really good at mooching our way in too 😉 Even though my parents were out of town, we met my sister’s family and their good friends at the KC Pumpkin Patch — and had the best time!
We finished off the adventure with pumpkin cider donuts (umm…YUM) and then we loaded up our treasures. Chris always makes fun of me for loving free stuff (he says that if I saw a sign on the side of the road for “free snakes” that I’d pull over), but even he recognized how awesome it was that we didn’t spend a penny all day AND came home with all of these beauties!
Sunday was another beautiful day! We went to church, ran errands, and worked in the yard. Arden was my mum buying assistant…and she took her job somewhat seriously 😉
Speaking of fun weekend activities, I recently shared our backyard campout experience over on the Kansas City Moms Blog. Spoiler alert: it’s my new favorite way to camp 🙂
Fall is definitely in full swing around these parts…and I couldn’t be happier about it!
Happy Wednesday, friends!

Those pumpkin patch photos!! <3 <3 Hopefully we can get there soon! And yes, I soooo wish we lived next door to each other! I mean, a few blocks away isn't too shabby, but these darn kids and their schedules (and the lack of monitors that reach that far!) sure put a damper on our late-night activities! 😉

Totally agree with Erin! Love all of this! And I'm so jealous Nash will sit for a picture. Every time we put Luke on a chair, he turns around and climbs up!

Aww! Love all of the pictures at the pumpkin patch. Stomping through a pumpkin patch looking for the perfect pumpkin and catching great shots of the kids is the best!! On of my favorite things about fall. And s'mores at a bonfire…Yum!!!
