The Story Of Us

We are half way through October and it has been busy.  School, sports and other extra curriculars will our weekdays and the weekends just fly by. Last weekend we swung by a local pumpkin patch.. D wanted a white pumpkin this year. And since last weekend was a long weekend M took Monday off and we went for a hike. D's friend joined us. We drove up to northern New Jersey, close to the Del-Water Gap and hike the 2.5 mile red dot trail up Mount Tammany. The weather was perfect and the hike was great. Lots of rocks to climb over.. The kids loved it..  The mountain you see across the water is Mount Minsi, Pennsylvania.   Look at all the beautiful mushroom's we found! The leaves we're really at peak color yet.. oh well.  On the way down we followed the blue dots which led us to Dunnfield Creek Falls                    Etsy             Instagram             ...

I know it feels like I just did a lately post.. but I guess I just haven't been blogging enough lately. I am sick, coughing up a storm. H is teething and is just now finally starting to sleep more than a few hours during the night so with sickness I was also severely sleep deprived. A lot has been going on lately. Last time I showed you some paint being mixed... well the room has been painted now more things are being painted the same color.. we hope to put at least 50%  of it together during the weekend.. finger crossed.. but painting.. doing anything really with a nosy baby is impossible.. we have a huge house filled with toys.. but the only room he wants to be in is the one with the paint. By the way little H is climbing stairs now.. we have baby gated everything. So he now sits by the gate trying to figure out how to open them.. ps can you believe he is now ten months old! I had also mentioned some contractors.. well they have arrived and work on the basement has begun.. ...

This happened the weekend before Sandy hit: My mother in law was visiting for two weeks. She had never experienced autumn or seen the beautiful changing colors of the trees. So we thought, what better way than to introduce her to the fall festivities than a pumpkin patch. In all honesty this was not just her first pumpkin patch it was also M and D's. I'm sure I had been to one as a child but I don't have any distinct memories or pictures as proof. So let's call me a pumpkin patch virgin too.
