Fall's here...and almost gone!

I have finally downloaded all my pictures I've been taking for the last few months.

There were tons!

I forgot about some of the things we had done. 

Do the months seem to be going by faster all of a sudden? 

I'm sure they'll slow down once it's cold and snowy, but it's already almost Thanksgiving! 

About a month ago we went to Auntie Jess's house to pick some pumpkins. 

They were all such beautiful colors! 

I think my favorites were the green and bright red ones.

Ellie tried to take all of them off Jess's hands. 
She's so helpful like that!

We came home with quite a few to decorate with. 

Ellie wanted to put them all in her room. 

 The kids have still had quite a few nice days to play outside. 

They still don't wear much clothing...like shoes and pants. 

 We were able to have a fun day jumping in the leaves. 

They raked.

And raked.

Until they got a pretty huge pile.

Tripp was incredibly helpful.

And Ellie was incredibly proud of her hard work.

Tripp was too little to jump in leaves last year. 

Ellie taught him how pretty quickly. 

He loved it. 

Until he stood up.

He had crunchy leaves everywhere in his diaper. 

He was not a fan. 

Isn't it funny the things that have such fun, great memories?
This little bike was given to us by some good neighbors in Pittsburg when their daughter got a bigger one.
It's so old and faded, but it's the bike Ellie learned to ride on and how to pedal.
She still loves it.
Now Tripp uses it all the time.
It's the perfect size and has such fun memories!

And that was one little fall time memory!
Next up is the pumpkin patch.
And yes...they did wear pants to the pumpkin patch, but no shoes.
They started out with them, but you wouldn't believe how hard it is to keep those things on!
