A day at the farm

Fall is probably my favorite season.  The weather is finally cooling down and everything is crispy.  I love fall scents and the colors.  Mostly I love fall activities.  October fest, Halloween, pumpkin carving, the whole bit!  But especially the weather.  This weekend was so perfect we decided to spend the day at the pumpkin patch.  Jimi has an ear infection so my mom and I took the munchkins out.  It was so much fun!   We did the corn maze and everyone got to take turns leading.  We ate hamburgers and hot dogs outside, and we did lots of "farm-y" activities.  The farm had a huge air pillow which is a lot like a bounce house but bigger and with no walls.  Wow what a fun time!  Adults can go on it too so I was up there jumping with the monsters while my mom stood in the shade with the baby.  That is until the baby started waving her arms around and shrieking to join us!  So I brought the baby on too and she really loved it!
     Once we had done all the farm had to offer we piled into my car and headed to go see my Grandma.  We had a nice visit with her but it was a little too short since the baby morphed into mini monster and started crying... that's been known to happen when she gets tired.  All in all it was a great day.  Sometimes it is so easy to forget that these kids are not really my kids. Sometimes we really feel like a natural family.   That's OK though.  I want us to feel that way, even if it is more dangerous to my heart, and in the end if it goes to adoption then nothing will change but if they go home at least they will go having had an awesome time and knowing they are loved.
        Until next time, happy fall!
