Fall has Arrived

On the first fall Sunday of October Payton and Mitch spent the morning with Grammie and Papa Phil at Ernie Miller Park. It was the perfect day to enjoy the beautiful weather. I was at home sleeping from working the night before but they had a great adventure exploring in the woods. Payton was very excited to share with me that she saw squirrels, a frog, and lots of bugs. She told me all about it when I woke up. Can't think of a much better way to spend a beautiful fall morning. ( unless apple cider, and donuts are involved)

One morning last week my neighbor Amy and I ( the 2 pregnant ones) sat in our chairs and let the kids run around for an hour or so. Payton and Logan are good friends and she was so excited to have him drive her around in her Barbie Jeep. Sadly she has not concurred good driving skills yet so is unable to drive her jeep by herself. I am getting way to big to chase her and stop from going into the street or running into trees. Logan was hesitate at first but then decided that driving a barbie jeep wasn't all that bad. They had a great time until the battery died anyway.
Last Friday we decided to go to the Louisburg Cider Mill for the morning. Amy and the boys came with us. They climbed on the hay bales and through hay everywhere. They had a great time. We all enjoyed donuts and apple cider. I got to buy a bag of apple cider donut mix which I love to put in when I make pancakes. I just substitute it for the flour and it takes heavenly. They had a great time, it is so much fun to just watch kids enjoy them self.
