Apple time!

(kiddos at the pumpkin patch a few weeks ago..)

 October...already that time of year. Unseasonably cold today, but I guess it's our first taste of what is to come. I hate winter. Dreading it as we speak actually...Autumn is, however, the BEST season of them all!! Pumpkins, apple cider, hay rides..i could live in fall all year long!! Thank goodness i haven't been THAT obsessive about going to Evans Orchard. We have only been twice. Maybe one more time and we'll be good. But apple everything?! Yes please!! Apple slushies, apple pie, apple fritters, apple dumplings, caramel apples.....SO GOOD!! I really wish one of my kids had been born in the fall so that we could celebrate a birthday at the apple orchard. Oh well.

On another note, the kids got to meet their great grandma from Washington for the first time earlier this month. We just went out to eat with her and Charlie and spent some time hanging out at the house, but Judah loved it and was really excited to meet her! He even (much to our dismay), gave her such a big hug that he almost knocked her down! She is in her eighties..still spunky, but she is shorter than me and very thin. So, needless, to say, that was something. But she seemed to really enjoy seeing them. And I had fun getting to see her after seven years too!!

 On a completely unrelated note, did you know that my daughter is absolutely obsessed with superheroes?? I guess that's what happens when you have an older brother. So without further ado, here's Batgirl :)
