DSC_0293It’s been another week full of fall pumpkin fun around here! We joined a group of friends for a play date at Lehner’s Pumpkin Farm. It turned out to be a small group and a really chilly day. It was, however, an awesome place that we will certainly return to next year. Our group was setup as a “class” so we had a nearly 3 hour schedule that moved us throughout the farm and included a bunch of activities, petting animals, riding a wagon to go pick a pumpkin, and having lunch. It was really a lot of fun, and I’m glad I was able to go there over my “lunch” hour(s) as it was relatively close to Millcreek.DSC_0287 DSC_0288

Finn got another haircut this week in preparation for our fall family and Finn’s 18 month photos that Amy took for us this week. We are excited to see how those turn out.  We dressed up as a German couple for the annual Halloween Costume Party this year. Didn’t turn out too bad for such a last minute purchase 😉IMG_20141022_184435081_HDR DSC_0406 DSC_04102014_halloween-2

Finn is really loving playing with cars, trucks, farm machinery – any small moving vehicle. Lately he gets right down on the floor and puts his cheek on the ground and plays with his toys. First thing every morning he still wants to get either his plane, tractor, or car off his dresser while he’s getting changed (which he doesn’t love much these days). And he loves reading books that are all about “dig dig dig” (read that as any type of machinery) are his favorite. He’s also loving sleeping with a blanket, in addition to dog dog and fishy. He looks so sweet when he is sleeping and this week I was able to capture a couple of photos. He is also becoming quite independent and moves really quickly. A few times he’s gone either up or down the stairs before we realize it. He can be quiet and quick – and is so proud of himself when he reaches the top or bottom he has the largest grin on his face. IMG_20141025_085541692 IMG_20141025_085710547 IMG_20141025_090223994_HDR IMG_20141022_175722821 IMG_20141022_225534416IMG_20141021_081837536 IMG_20141024_091102523_HDR20141024_092852IMG_20141021_183940890

We had the most beautiful fall day and enjoyed family fun with my lovely OU college friends and their husbands and kids at Young’s Jersey Dairy in Yellow Springs. We’re pretty much regulars there this time of year. It was great to see everyone, though hard to have much conversation with anyone amongst trying to keep up with all of the kids. They range in age from 1 to 8, which makes finding activities that everyone finds enjoyable somewhat of a challenge. We did have fun petting the goats (that’s twice in one week!), checking out pumpkins, watching the Eilerman’s launch pumpkins into the sky, and making it partially through the corn maze before enjoying a sweet treat and heading home.DSC_0487 DSC_0427 DSC_0425 DSC_0419 DSC_0428 DSC_0432 DSC_0435 DSC_0436 DSC_0439 DSC_0446 DSC_0447 DSC_0451 DSC_0456 DSC_0460 DSC_0464 DSC_0490 DSC_0495 DSC_0491 DSC_0499 DSC_0501 DSC_0502 DSC_0504 DSC_0505DSC_0539DSC_0543 DSC_0513 DSC_0518 DSC_0416 DSC_0523 DSC_0526 DSC_0529
