So Tired: Must Be Time to Go Back to Work

The end of a three day weekend (I took Friday as a vacation day although it was more of a get-all-the-errands-done day.) But still, it was nice.

I'm exhausted. It must be time to go back to work where I can get five minutes of peace!

All in all, a lovely weekend. Crisp, sunny, and full of lots of quality time with the Hooligans.

We went to the pumpkin patch today--sadly it was spur of the moment and therefore, no camera. But it was a lot of fun. A live blue grass band (Ellie was complimented on her dancing by one of the band members), an opportunity to paint pumpkins, and best of all, a kid's hay maze: a maze made of small stacks of hay rather than those tall, creepy corn stalks. It was Leo-sized and perfect for the claustrophobics in the crowd (me).

And the leaves are changing here. It's definitely, finally fall.

Leo gave me a lot of unsolicited hugs this weekend. He would be sitting at the kitchen table eating pizza and I would be standing at the sink washing dishes and suddenly I would feel his little arms around my knees. I guess other kids can just say "Mommy I love you," when they feel a wave of affection. Leo just hugs. I'm not complaining.

We went pumpkin picking today, too! It was actually the first time I had ever gone. Yeah, those corn mazes are freaky. And don't even try pushing a stroller through one of those things!
