More Fall Fun!

We spent a wonderful few days outside this weekend. We hit up the Finch (again!) on Friday hoping to find their leaf pile (apparently its going to be another week or two :( ), but got some cute pictures of Emma and Anna. Harry refused to cooperate, he's quite a stubborn crabapple the last week or so again. Better behaviour, just poor attitude, I guess.

Also, I really enjoyed these pictures from 1 year ago this week... :)

We also did Greenbluff and got our "munkins." We carved them up tonight, and I did take pictures, but I still want to get some better ones of the "final product" tomorrow morning, so you'll just have to be patient for those!!

he loved driving the tractors!!!

Harry got a squash/gourd and was THRILLED

Mems trucking along....

Grumpiest kid on the planet!

biggest leaf EVER!!! (he looks like he has 3 heads, but its really just Anna standing directly behind him!! LOL)

Emma cannot get over the fact that she can't pee on a tree. Poor girl... gonna be a long time waiting!! LOL

and a little video... :)

Fall Pictures!

We headed out to the Finch yesterday for our annual Fall pictures! I think they turned out pretty nicely, don't you?? :)

**on a side note, this is post 300! Wowza!!!**

Just a little ha-ha...

Emma got her first Boofday card in the mail today. Our policy is that cards get opened, presents wait. It's a nice little build-up, although she's inherited her mother's love of her own birthday and also my impatience. So, its going to be interesting! :)

I started an Etsy store!!

Whoop for me!

After getting lots of compliments on some of my handcrafted items and a few personal orders from friends, I figured I'd expand a little... I'm not really sure how this works yet, but I figured it'd keep me busy over the winter and maybe even earn a little pocket money! :)

Check me out!

Jenny's Pages

So... what've we been up to??

Figured I'd do an "update in pictures!"

Harry picked out a sweater vest for school today- how handsome is he??? :)

watching the Wizard of Oz and eating apple cake

It's finally fall here! It's been in the 50's all week and we're loving it! :)

No, this isn't Speed Racer, it's Harry testing out his ski gear for this season!

We picked way too many apples at Greenbluff this year... 4 pie fillings, 4 pies, 3 apple crunches, and an apple cake later, Mommy is done with apples for a LONG time!! LOL

We took the kids on "dates" last weekend, Emma and I went for dinner and shopping. She's wearing her new Strawberry Shortcake corduroy jacket from the JBF sale. Harry and Jay went to see "Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs" in 3D. Jay said Harry was hilarious, he kept saying "its like they're coming right AT me!!??" So cute!

We had some excitement around here yesterday. The kids and I ran into the bx after the gym yesterday morning and while we were walking to the car to leave, Emma had a meltdown and threw herself down on the concrete. She ended up knocking herself unconscious when she hit the back of her head. I rushed her to the ER (where thankfully my friend Rhenda came and picked up Harry!!) where they did a CT scan and ran some tests and checked her out. She was only out for about 10-15 seconds, but it was the scariest moment in my life as a mother thus far. Apparently she only has some bruising, no bleeding or swelling, so that was great news. However, we still have to watch her VERY closely for the next few weeks to make sure she doesn't hit her head again, as a close proximity repeat concussion would be really really dangerous to her. I woke her up a few times last night to check on her and make her talk to me, which was exhausting to me, but well worth it, of course. She woke up the first time and asked me, "My boofday party, NOW?" I'm guessing she must have been dreaming about her upcoming party!! Goofy girl! She seems to be almost back to normal today, Jay was able to cut his trip short and came home this afternoon, which is a big relief to me.

Hopefully the next few days are nice, quiet, and uneventful....
