Fall fun with Keira and Aunt Jenny!!

Last weekend, Aunt Jenny and Keira made the trip from New Jersey all the way to my new house! I couldn't stop talking about them getting to our home and how Keira and I were going to make a big, giant mess!!!! (Which we totally did). I was so so happy they were here, I couldn't stop smiling.

Since it is almost Halloween, the zoo was putting on their annual Zoo Boo. Mommy and Aunt Jenny thought it would be a good idea for us to go since Keira and I never get to spend Halloween together. Keira was Nala and I was Abby Cadabby.

We had so much fun at Zoo Boo. We sat and listened to Mama Pajama and sang along to the songs we knew.

The next day before Aunt Jenny and Keira had to leave we went to a Rohe's Farm. I had never been there before but it was a pretty awesome farm. They had animals we could hold, pet and feed. We jumped in hay, dressed up as farmers, rode little tractors and got yummy treats from there.

It was a super fabulous weekend and I cannot wait until I get to spend more time with my cousin Keira (and Aunt Jenny too)!

Sunday = Fall Fun Day!

We have had quite a bit of craziness going on this month with moving. I realized a few days ago that it was already mid-October and we had not gone apple or pumpkin picking this season. So it was off to Beak and Skiff for apples and The Hollow for pumpkins today. Riley was excited and so were Jeremy and I!

So, this morning we got up and ate breakfast. Of course Riley chose apple jacks!

The we made our way to Beak and Skiff where Riley showed off her expert apple picking skills.

Riley LOVED munching on the apples while we picked.

After picking some delicious apples, buying some even more delicious apple pie and cider and looking around the Halloween Hut, we headed off to The Hollow to pick pumpkins.

Of course first we had to go through the corn maze where Riley not only insisted on being the line leader, but she also insisted on Jeremy holding her hand because "you're not wearing rain boots daddy and it's muddy." So cute!!

I'm not sure if it is just because it is late in the season or just a bad season for pumpkins, but the pumpkins in the field were slim pickings! So we chose some already picked pumpkins after visiting the petting zoo!!

Then for the first time, Riley requested to get her face painted. She has never had it painted before and usually says no to getting it done. Today she sat for a pretty flower on her face.

Before leaving The Hollow, Riley asked to jump around on the hay bales. She would climb up and then jump off into the hay. She LOVED it!!

Since apple and pumpkin picking is so incredibly exhausting, we need some fuel so it was off to Moe's for some yummy lunch.

Once we got home it was all about painting pumpkins. Riley insisted on painting all 3 of the small pumpkins...which of course was fine by us!

Babcha, Pop and Uncle Matt came over for dinner and dessert. Then it was bath time. One last show of The Berenstein Bears and off to bed!

What a fun day!! It's been awhile since we have had one of these days and I am so glad that we got to do all of the fun things we did today. I love my little family and days like these!

On Friday, 10/7/11 we moved into our new home. We have all adjusted just fine! The settling and organization of things is taking more time then I thought, but I have to remember that getting things done with a very active and nosy 3-year-old makes things a little more difficult. Here are a few pictures of the progress that we have made so far.

Riley loves sitting on our front porch blowing bubbles.

We still have a few items to get out of our apartment, but for the most part we are moved in. Stay tuned for more pictures as the rooms become completed!
