Pumpkin Picking.

Just 2 weeks before Halloween we headed to the pumpkin patch on a beautiful warm fall day (it was 82 degrees) and the kids both picked out their perfect pumpkin. Two days later....it is in the 50s and the heat has been turned on in the house for the first time this season. I guess we were due for the colder weather.

The kids are anxious for Halloween. Addison is going to be Super Girl and Lucas is going to be Wolverine. Since they are both super heroes, I am pretty sure they are going to make Bob and I both wear capes when we take them trick-or-treating. :)

Girls trip to the winery!

Earlier this month I was lucky enough to have 3 of my best friends (since forever) come from Chicago to spend the weekend with me....not with their kids, but just them and me for a GIRLS WEEKEND!!! We stayed at my parents lake house and on Saturday we spent the day at Crown Valley Winery in Ste. Genevieve. If you live in the St. Louis area and have not been there, you are missing out. The winery and scenery were beautiful and of course the wine was great. We took full advantage of our day there and enjoyed lots (or too much) of good wine, danced along with the band and closed the place down. It was fun and we created some great memories. I am pretty certain we will have to make this a yearly event (and hopefully Kris and Venessa can make it next time).

Wine tasting!
