Happy Fall Y’all!

It is officially fall around here.  The pumpkins are on the front porch, freshly picked apples in the fridge, and pants and long sleeves are slowly making their appearance.
We went to Sky Top Orchard a few weeks ago.  We have started a new tradition of apple pickin’ and I love it!  Maddie was so excited and had a great time.  It is hard to believe that it had already been a year since we last made the trip.  Last year I was changing her diaper in the backseat of the car and this year, I was hauling my very big two year old to the porta-potty because she refused to pee in her pull-up (although I tried to get her to).  It was an experience of a lifetime…that was only to be repeated just a few short weeks later at the pumpkin patch! 
We came home with a good variety of apples and lots of great family memories!

Last weekend we hit our other yearly tradition and headed to Stewart Farms for pumpkin picking!  Maddie wore pretty much the exact thing she wore last year.  The shirt and boots still fit surprisingly!!  So all our pictures look very much the same, but she just looks a lot more grown-up! 
We brought home a few pumpkins and they are set ready to be carved (although I HATE pumpkin carving…my husband absolutely lives for it!)  Maddie had a great time running through the patch with her cousin, looking at the animals, and riding the tractor wagon this year!  Oh, and I forgot to mention, that once again I had to take her into the porta-potty to use the bathroom.  We did our best to get her to pee beside the car into the grass like a dog, but she refused.  She thinks it is fun to use the “outside potty!”

Looks like she has grown about six inches since last year!

Now it is waiting time.  38 weeks pregnant and this momma is ready to meet this baby!  It is a hard waiting game.  I guess he is pretty comfy in there Smile
