Fall is my favorite time of year! I always have so many things I want the kids to do when October comes around. This year its hard to plan much seeing as how we have no idea when Little Sister will make her arrival but we’re getting in what we can as the weather is finally cooling down!
Last weekend our church did a baptism service at a campground where there’s a river. They also had some animals and a playground for the kids and a small little pumpkin patch. I managed to get the kids to stop playing long enough to take a pumpkin picture!
I usually like to brave the NC State Fair. This year we went instead to our local County Fair, which had the same things we usually enjoy, just on a smaller scale. It ended up being a very hot day so we didn’t stay long but we got in all the fun Fair festivities. We saw tractors.
They got their faces painted. Leah got a butterfly. Andrew, a dragon.
They pretended to milk a cow.
They had a little kids’ agricultural area where they picked out produce. Andrew wanted to fill his basket as full as he could, and he really didn’t want to give it back when we had to leave. He also literally picked the “chicken” up to get the eggs! Farming may not be in his future.
They loved the little kids’ magic show.
And out of all the Fair foods they could have tried, they wanted ice cream. Blue ice cream. (I guess it was cotton candy flavor.) But I suppose it was much healthier than the fried Oreos I had. 
Fall’s arrival also means a new wardrobe. I hit up my usual bi-annual consignment sale Thursday, and really racked up! I had more I was willing to spend this year than I usually do, so I got everything both kids will need for the whole season: at least 14 outfits each. Plus socks, shoes, and even underwear. And I only spent $100. I was so excited about my finds. I didn’t get much for the baby because we’re having a baby shower next weekend and she already has a ton of hand-me-downs from Leah. But now I am ready for it to stay cold so they can wear fun new things!
