Fall Is In The Air


Fall is in the air, but with another cold storm with snow coming in this weekend it feels more like winter.
The kids and I this past weekend went on a hayride and picks out our pumpkins from a pumpkin patch. Trying to get three pumpkins cut off the vine and into the trailer (hayride) while holding my own little pumpkin(David) proved to be a little hard....lol. It was times like this that I really wish my husband was here with an extra set of hands.
