Pumpkin Patch!!!




This past weekend, we hit the road, headed to New Jersey and went to a pumpkin patch!! It was a beautiful fall day... nice and sunny. But boy was that wind cold! And of course, everyone had a jacket but ME! So it was the fasting hay ride and pumpkin picking you ever saw! We still had lots of fun, got two big pumpkins for the kids and took advantage of the cheap gas in Jersey!

Two small children in Washington DC (what were we thinking!!!)









We spent Columbus Day weekend in Washington DC visiting Aunt Karen. The kids were very well behaved especially since all 5 of us were in Aunt Karen's 1 bedroom apartment! We spent our days touring the monuments and Arlington Cemetary. On our last day there, we took a trip to the Air and Space museum. We hope to go back in April over spring break so we have more time to tour. We just can't tell Aunt Karen or she may skip town around then!





The kids were troopers since they weren't interested in the monuments AT ALL and were way more interested in the people selling hot dogs and ice cream on every corner we walked by. The worst part was I forgot Abbey's stroller. That's right, of all the things I could've forgotten, I forgot the stroller! She kept up and spent a lot of time riding on Daddy's shoulders! It's a good thing Jasen could carry her.... I couldn't imagine lugging her up all of the stairs to the Lincoln memorial!!
