Can you say PUMPKIN WHOOPIE PIES?

With the fall weather finally showing up, my love for pumpkin stuff was starting to fill my brain. So I just couldn't help myself. I made a pumpkin pie on Thursday and by the time that was gone I had an idea for Pumpkin whoopie pies. I have all this pumpkin that I need to use up before we move so I'm sure I will be baking more stuff soon. Will I post picture of it, probably not because nothing looks as good as whoopie pies.

Pumpkin Patch

Today we went to the pumpkin patch with Aunt Sarah before she left. Claire enjoyed all the things they had for kids to play on and the hayride we took around the farm. This was the first hayride for Claire and she was mesmerized. I wish we could have gotten a picture of her face when the tractor started pulling the wagon. She was sooo excited. Then they dropped us at the "pumpkin patch" to pick out our pumpkins. Claire again, totally excited, could not focus on one pumpkin.

So we finally got one for each of us and headed back to the stand where I enjoyed a Berry Cider slushie( yes slushie, it was 80 here today) and Claire had a white chocolate sucker shaped like a candy corn and Sarah got a caramel apple and a slushie. It has been a lot of fun introducing Claire to all the things that come with Fall. She gets so excited about every new thing. I can't wait until Christmas rolls around.

Disney on Ice

We took Claire and Lucas to see Disney on Ice this weekend. It consisted of Cars, , The Little Mermaid, Lion King and Tinkerbell. Tinkerbell is her newest obsession so she was excited. We parked at the South Blvd. light rail station and rode the train into town. I don't think I have ever seen Claire this excited. She couldn't sit still. Then we watched the show which was about 2 hours long and she sat still almost the entire time. She was so entertained. Then we took the train back. Again very excited but at this point they were pretty tired and so were we. I bought Claire a souvenier but she didn't know it until we got to the car. (I couldn't keep up with a kid, diaper bag, purse, and a souvenier all at the same time.) So you'll see Tinkerbell shoes in some of the pics after we got home. That was the souvenier and she loves them. She's been guarding them and putting them in a special place at night.

Long time no blog.....

I know it has been forever since I blogged. We have been on three trips, sold our house, and will be moving next week. Pretty crazy. I will put up some new slideshows of our trips and post on our newest adventures. Thanks for being patient.
