It only sat in the front flower bed for two days. Really. I promise. There is a good reason that this isn’t our house any more … toilet replacement post to come soon.

Some days you actually get to create the gift of happiness. This was Grace showing off her Tooth Fairy pillow that I made over the weekend. She is one excited little girl. (Tutorial to come!)
Have you had the opportunity to create the gift of happiness lately? What did you do? Leave me a comment and let me know!
Our life lately …
Our Church window.

Sophie was playing games on my phone the other night. I saw her … all was good. I sure did laugh when I found this and several other pictures of her on my phone though …
I love you ,my Sophie girl!
My sister took all of these pictures except for the last one that some stranger took and emailed to her when they landed. Her dear husband bought her a hot air balloon ride for her birthday … her dear husband that is scared of heights. She was so excited! I love the picture that shows the trees in full color here in Virginia. The picture looking up at the balloon is a favorite too! If anyone is wondering, they did this ride with balloonsovervirginia.com. Which picture is your favorite?

We took time earlier this month to visit our favorite pumpkin patch here in Central Virginia. We headed to Miller Farms Market in Orange, VA. It is a drive for us but they only charge you for your pumpkins. A lot places around here charge admission fees and even hayride fees. With a family of five, those fees add up so we hope to be spending our money at Millers Farms Market for years to come!
We got our carving pumpkins and my baking pumpkins here. Hopefully by mid-November I will find time to process my Long Island Cheese and Peanut pumpkins for Miller Farms Market. I can taste how yummy they are already! For now, here are pictures from our trip to the pumpkin patch …
This was one of my favorite pictures. My boys out in the middle of the HUGE pumpkin patch!
Did you get to visit a pumpkin patch this fall? Leave us a comment and let us know. Happy Halloween to your family from ours!
We only have one tree in our yard that has lots of pretty leaves (we wish we had more for sure!) The kids love it when Brian rakes up the leaves for them to jump and play in together. Here are some pictures of how playing in the leaves at our house goes …
The kids can’t have all of the fun …
Have you had fun in fall leaves yet? Leave me a comment and let me know!
It was pretty … it just wasn’t tasty. Sometimes there are flops around here. More often they are mine than Brian’s!
(If you are wondering it was an Angel Food Cake with an Apple Cinnamon Glaze. The glaze was the flop. The cake was great! LOL)
Have you had a baking flop lately? Let me know I am not alone in this category and leave me a comment!
Grace finally had her friend birthday party on Saturday. She insisted on using the Betty Crocker Shake N Pour cupcakes for her party. When she picked the Barbie themed party decorations, I decided the cake stand in the giveaway gift pack was a great fit. (Psst, the giveaway is still live so go enter!)
We went to the apple orchard and did other fun stuff (like clean) over the weekend but there were no pictures. We enjoyed the apples and mountains and didn’t bother with pictures which was amazing!
Hope you are having a great week at your house!
We had the opportunity to take the kids to Kings Dominion recently. My brother came along so we equal in the adult to kid ratio. It was a great day of fun!
