A perfect autumn day

Last Saturday seemed like the perfect day of autumn activities. A good friend from college came to visit for the weekend from New York City and we spent the afternoon doing fall. The girls were especially excited to meet Mr. Matt and take him with us to choose our pumpkin.

We started out at the pumpkin patch and found the perfect pumpkin. Our very first time finding one that was still attached to the vine.

"I think this is the one, Mommy!"

Did somebody say "CHEESE!"?

My little loves.

There is just something about fall in New York State.

It wouldn't be a trip to the farm without some cider donuts and of course...stopping and feed the goats. Ella was pretty fascinated by those little corn kernels and the goat's excitement. She just kept shoving the corn in his mouth and giggling. When we ran out, she started picking up corn off the ground to feed him. I'm especially glad for Ella's carefree spirit that reminds me to loosen up. As that stinky little goat slobbered all over her hands, I had to stop myself from running away to find large amounts of hand sanitizer. I'm glad I chose to stay put and not miss the moment.

Mr. Matt

When we got home, the girls stayed outside with Daddy and Matt to rake leaves and jump in the piles, while I went inside to put the finishing touches on dinner.

priceless. 

We finished off the night with Pulled Pork sandwiches, Apple Bacon Cheddar Mac and Cheese and a big green salad to balance that all out. Add in some tall glasses of apple cider and we were all set.

We were in autumn sensory overload last Saturday and wouldn't have wanted it any other way!
