Trips to the pumpkin patch and the fair...

Good Lord, October has been busy.  I feel like we've had a minimum of three obligations a week, and that's a low estimate.  Things aren't letting up any time soon, but that's pretty much how fall is every year, right?

Alex's little class went to the pumpkin patch at the Agriculture Museum this year.  It was nice to not have to drive way out to the one we usually go to.  He's still young to really appreciate everything--he won't be 2 until December--but he enjoyed himself.  For those of you who haven't been in a long time, they have a HUGE indoor motorized train set.  I mean, MASSIVE.  It's fantastic because there are all kinds of buttons the kids can push to make the trains go, turn on lights in houses, make the cows moo, etc.  He loved that.

















Yes, he needed a haircut.  My children always need haircuts. 




Later that week, we took the kids to the fair with MP and Joe.  Have I mentioned how hard it is to get a picture of all of us looking at the camera?  It's practically impossible.  




 It's amazing how much braver Sam has gotten.  He rode several rides by himself--and they weren't necessarily "kiddie" rides.




We were there for awhile, and Alex was great in his stroller...until the last 30 minutes.  The only way to contain him was to either put him on Anthony's shoulders or give him food.  I couldn't get a good pic on my cell phone, so these are pretty blurry.

I'm not really a huge fair person, but we had a really good time.  I highly recommend the fried Oreos. Anthony had the fried cookie dough, and while delicious, there's no way anyone could eat it without getting sick.  And that's saying something coming from this family because we know our way around a dessert table.
