Pumpkin Patch

Two weeks ago, we dressed up Boden and took him to Cotton Wood Farms, the same pumpkin patch we went to last year. Oh what a difference a year makes. Boden refused to ride in the wagon this time, instead the whole time he insisted on pulling it "MYSELF!".

There were some animals there - and a little corn maze too. Funny enough both Steve and I discovered it was our first corn maze too. Nobody got lost, but one little Raccoon (I won't name names), tried to taste some of the corn (even though signs insisted not to eat it).

We all picked out a pumpkin (the squirrels have since eaten huge chunks out of almost all of them). And then went out to a wonderful dinner as a family. What a gorgeous evening for a pumpkin patch.

  

  

Soccer Stud

Believe it or not, there is snow on the ground today. But, on Sunday Boden and I enjoyed watching Steve's final fall soccer game. Here is Boden being just like daddy (we're pretty impressed by his skills).

He's also becoming such an amazing and talkative little guy. Although he always asks for Mac and Cheese for dinner, Boden is pretty adventurous. I think his second favorite meal might just be Pad Thai and tofu.

A beautiful October day in Boulder (Delilah and I went walking at Bobolinx)

Both Boden and I are counting down the days months until Steve is finished with grad school. Now that Boden is old enough to ask where Daddy is at night it makes us miss him that much more. But not to fear, we only have until May and then we'll feel like we have all the time in the world together. 

Sunflower Farms

Llama  Llama! 

Boden's daycare  had today (Columbus Day) off for staff planning and training. So, Steve got to work from home a bit, and actually take most of the morning off. We decided to visit Sunflower Farms a cute, organic, local farm. Boden was a little tentative at first, but quickly warmed up to feeding all the animals. They even had a huge corn house (with the dried corn for the sheep/ goats and Llamas) that all the kids (and Steve) could dive into.

There was so much to do, that we really couldn't squeeze it all in before nap. We decided to save the pony ride, the giant tree house, and the tractor ride for next time.

Feed us!

So much fun!

Move out of the way!

Falling for Fall

pumpkin muffins with cream cheese frosting

It seemed like the summer would never end around here when we finally got a few great cold fronts. Suddenly the house has cooled off, the leaves are changing color, and the sunlight seems a little more golden in the mornings. To get into the spirit of things, for my monthly book club I made pumpkin muffins with cream cheese frosting (yum)! And as another book club is later this week, I have to rack my brain for another tasty treat to bring.

How is it already October? We're still waiting on the house to sell, although we may just take it off the market after next week and get a storage until and "reorganize" for a while. Wish us luck in whatever ensues. The good news is - if we stay, we don't need a baby monitor (the house is conveniently small like that).
