We went out in to the fields to pick our pumpkins this year at a local farm. They had a petting zoo, hay ride, carmel apples (mmmmm), jumping castles (still Nev's fav), and we left with fresh picked pumpkins, some funny gourds and a pie pumpkin that I have already baked and froze, ready to use in our Thanksgiving Pumpkin Pie. We arrived early to avoid long lines and crowds and it truly was perfect, warm in temperature, but a perfect pumpkin day otherwise. This is by far my favorite time of the year as days grow shorter, allowing time for hibernation, and nights offer cool relief. Nevi just loves looking at the colors on the trees, picking up different leaves that attract her attention and hearing the crunching under our feet as we walk. It's a sensory explosion, especially for a curious 2 year old!
We also had a great visit from Ahma and Ahpa who war able to have a night away with Nevi in the mountains. They snatched up Nevi and took her to Georgetown for a real coal engine train ride. Though it snowed and Ahma and Nev piked up a flu bug while there, it was an awesome trip for all of them. And I thoroughly enjoyed a night to hang with Robb and work on Nev's new big girl room. The room is almost complete (will have pix soon) and I hope the transition goes smoothly - as of now Nev has no desire to make the leap into the new surroundings but we do enjoy reading books there each night as part of our bedtime routine.
