Fall Festivities

So, it's starting to become the time of year where things get busy. Busy in the sense of holidays & activities. Since blogger is being uncooperative & won't let me move this picture to the bottom, this picture is from our Fall Festival at church. Madelyn had lots of fun...except for the fact that she got too hot & we had to leave abruptly because she started to strip down. Oops.


The day before our church Fall Festival, we went to the pumpkin patch at Old Baker Farm. Despite the fact that she got up too early and said once we got there that she wanted to go home, Madelyn had a lot of fun. She loved the swing, of course.


The pumpkin search was intense. I never thought we would find the "perfect" one!

After finding pumpkins that were too big, too small, or too green, she finally picked the perfect one. She liked it because it looked like Cinderella's pumpkin.


She got to pet a baby chicken. My child loves animals!


She actually loved the horses this time too. Last year she was terrified of them. She pet several of them, and one of them kissed her on the head. She was amazed, and told David as we were leaving, "Daddy, I want a horse." Oh my, we're in trouble already.


Beautiful little girly. I can't wait to get this one touched up.


The trip wasn't complete without getting lost in the maize.



After an exciting day, MJ fell asleep in the car. We had planned on getting lunch out, and waking her up was not the best idea, but she survived.


The past couple of weeks, we have been in major cleaning/reorganizing mode. It feels like we're never going to get it finished. We will hopefully get the rest of the furniture moved out this week, any maybe start painting this weekend. I think once we get one of the rooms done, it will be a lot easier to get the other one done. We know what we want to do, it's just getting it done that's difficult! I need about 5 more hours in the day, plus Madelyn's energy...then it may get done. Only 10-11 weeks to go!
