The way we start off the beginning of fall is Matt's birthday. He turned 33 this year. We celebrated with food, as usual, and 2 desserts because I could not decide between the 2. A blueberry tart and peanut butter ice cream. I think the ice cream won.
While Preston was at school one day I decided to take Porter on a little field trip to a pumpkin patch. It was so fun to spend some one on one time with Porter. He loved seeing the animals, riding ponies and feeding goats but the thing that really won him over was the massive corn box. He would not leave that place. When I finally tore him away and we got in the car I took off his shoes and it was a corn explosion that I am still cleaning up. The most unique thing about this pumpkin patch is the tractor ride. You are given a tortilla as you load up into the wagon and given instructions on how to feed the cows. It was awesome! Porter ate his whole tortilla before we had a chance to give some to the cows, so he used mine.
Halloween- Preston insisted on being a power ranger again. This time he was robo knight. He refuses to wear the mask so it is hard to tell what he is. Porter refused to wear any costume. After several attempts of putting him in the most adorable dragon costume and an amazing pirate costume and him tearing it off screaming, I settled on skeleton pajamas. He makes them adorable but I was still sad not to see the dragon costume put to use again. We had so much fun trick or treating with our neighbors and walking around Matt's work. Besides the little girl dressed in Audrey Hepburn costume I would have to say these boys were the cutest!
In November grandma and grandpa field came to visit and we enjoyed spending some time together the boys kept them busy with all sorts of Lego creations and chasing games. we also stopped by this amazing chapel in the woods. Pretty impressive to see in person.
Thanksgiving- this year we spent thanksgiving with friends and enjoyed not having to make the entire thanksgiving meal. We all went to Preston's school thanksgiving feast. Preston only liked the Ham and the bright green drink. Not the usual thanksgiving items and I think he was somewhat disappointed not to see them at his real thanksgiving feast.
