Pumpkins

FINALLY had the chance to get our pumpkins!  Let's just say the weather has NOT been cooperating with our endeavors lately.  Rain.  Cold.  I feel like we have gone from Summer to Winter.  And in a hurry.  Missing the mild temps...upper 60's and sun. 
We ran up to Leininger's Farm just down the road from us to get our pumpkins.  I knew we had a short window of opportunity with Church being in the morning yesterday and the fact, that since the weather was cooperating...it would give us an opportunity to do some much needed yard work! 

It worked out great.  We got our leaves picked up (for now...I'm sure plenty more to come before it's all said and done).

And we were able to take Gabi, Kara, Asia and Emma to Niles Haunted House.  So glad we waited until Sunday.  After we heard there were 11,000 people on Saturday night...the botched plan for that night actually worked out.  No waiting in lines at any of the attractions on Sunday night.  We were there by 7:30 pm and out by 9:15 pm.  AND so proud of Gabi...she did great.  Confronted her fears and actually HAD fun!!!  And no forcing needed ;)  She is ready to go back next year already!!!
