It's Fall Yall

I mean I know its been fall since mid-August but we literally just had our first few cool days in Florida this past weekend and it was great! And it came at the perfect time as we headed to the pumpkin patch with the kids. As I've said in the past it can be hard to get into the "fall" Holiday season when the temperatures pretty much stay in the mid to high 80's, there is very little to no fall color changing leaves and we are still sporting shorts, tank tops, and flip flops. After being in Florida for over five years we have certainly learned to make the Holidays our own and just enjoy what is in front of us.

That being said it was nice to wear some jeans and a sweater (for a few minutes) as we headed to pick some pumpkins out for the kids. Only the second time for the twins and Parker's first! There is nothing like the excitement on your child's face when they see all of those pumpkins for the first time.  Of course we made them pause for some photos along the way but they had so much fun picking out their pumpkins and yes even trying to eat them.... Parker. The house is all a buzz with who will carve their pumpkin and who will paint, what will be carved, and the best question... how long until they rot? That's a legitimate questions when you live in Florida... the last time we carved pumpkins two years ago they lasted less than a week. No mater how long they last I know the kids will have a blast and there are sure to be many memories made... let the fun begin.

Sorry Maddy I had to share... hubby may have yelled at me for taking the photo and not helping her :)
