We've been busy the past few weekends. On the last weekend in September we took Connor to the pumpkin patch. It was probably a little bit early to go there, as they didn't actually have the hayrides to the real pumpkin patch where you could pick your own, and it was approximately 85 degrees that day, but Connor still had a blast.
The following weekend we went to the Pennsylvania Apple and Cheese Festival in Canton, which is about 45 minutes north of Williamsport. It is a nice drive and the leaves were pretty close to their peak up north. It was also very warm that weekend. I'm sorry I don't have any pictures. We were too busy picking up some local apples, cheese, apple cider, and apple dumplings to take any.
Last weekend we went to pick out Connor's Halloween costume. Probably not the smartest idea to go to Party City at 11am on a Saturday two weeks before Halloween, but oh well. I think for the next few years I would like to try to make his costumes. All the options there seem so cheap. Of course, we did pick one, and it is cute, but it is nothing to write home about. I just didn't feel too bad about not putting too much effort into it this year because he is still too little to fully understand the costume concept so we took the easy way out. Next year when he will actually be useful to me on Halloween and be able to get good candy while trick or treating, I will try to be better at planning and more creative with his costume. While we waited in what seemed like an endless line of unhappy kids and even unhappier parents, Connor entertained himself with his trick-or-treat bucket.
Last Sunday we decided to take the dogs up to Blockhouse and let them run around a bit and get some exercise, since they have been feeling a little neglected since Connor came along. It was a beautiful day and they certainly enjoyed the chance to run free. We are so lucky to belong to this beautiful club. After our hike we sat by the fire before having Sunday dinner up there with Collin & Emily, Heister & Ruth.
This weekend Ryan went to Lake Oneida, New York, to go fishing with Adrianne's husband, John.
They left on Thursday morning so it has just been Connor & I for a few days. Today, we went over to Adrianne's house for lunch and to visit with the girls. I decided to try to be creative and make some pumpkin rice krispie treats. I think they turned out so cute! I used Tootsie Rolls for the stems and green icing for the leaves.
I told you I love fall. Just call me Becky Home-Ec-y.
