the weekend

What a weekend. A great weekend I may add.

Friday, Brad and I decided we were going to take the day off, bring the kids to daycare, and call it a date day. It was so much fun until we got "the call". You know, the one that says your little man has a SOARING high fever and we need to pick him up immediately. So, some doses of Tylenol, some pushing of liquids, and a couple of pukes later {all over our new rug}, we were all snuggled in on the couches for a nice quiet Friday evening.

Saturday Jacks {thankfully} felt so much better. And then we waited. And waited. For the day we had been talking about for two weeks. KARA was coming!! Jacks even made Fin wait by the window to watch for her arrival. We were so excited to see her. So almost as soon as she got there, we piled into the car and went to find some perfect pumpkins.

The kids had such a great time. Well, Jacks had a great time...
He rode tractors, horses, and a CAMEL. He fed the goats, and was all giggles all day long.



Finster was adorable as she "Ohhhhh'd" at everything we saw.

But let me tell you, when this girl has had enough of watching her big bro have all the fun, she's not shy about telling you!

Finally, it was time to actually pick the pumpkins. And what a FUN helper we had!


Kip was such a good sport. I mean, the little animal lover even attempted THIS...
It was such a fun day...


...and we even got a family pic!

Sunday started the best way possible. An early wake up to Kip, and a wrestling match with the kiddos!

Sunday night was spent carving pumpkins and watching the horrific sight of what was supposed to be a good football game. If you take a peek, you can see I DID have a cute little dress on Fin, but it was some-how covered up with a Vikings jersey. {I wonder how that happened}. It's a good thing those Peterson jerseys have a tug at my heart!

Today it's about 30 degrees and there was snow hitting my windshield. Good thing we took care of the "fall" stuff over the weekend!
