Fall Fun

 

We couldn't have asked for a more beautiful fall weekend, and Mama was all about taking advantage of it!  Sunday has been homework day for Daddy as he's working on his masters, so the kids and I went to Maplewood State Park and hiked up Hallaway Mount (aka Hill).  Greta was our official water carrier and hiked the whole .4 miles up and back!

 

 Saturday brought a play date at the park with Greta's neighborhood friends and a trip to the apple orchard/pumpkin patch with the whole family.  Greta's mission to get a pumpkin...#1) Push your brother up the hill to the pumpkin patch.

 

#2) Scrub your pumpkin clean

#3) Paint your pumpkin :)

This is the look I was getting until I shared my apple parfait with him.  Who knew you could chomp down a crisp apple with only 6 little teeth.

Finally, our hay ride through the orchard.

First Day of Preschool!

My sweet Greta is officially a preschooler.  I must say I was a little tearful sending my baby off to full-day preschool two days a week.  She had a great first week, though, and is very excited about her teachers and new friends (the girl in the pink shirt, the really tall girl, the boy in the green shirt...she'll learn names later.)  I know she's going to have a fantastic year!
