Epic Fail at 31 for 21: Will Pictures Suffice?

I have not been the best 31 for 21er this year.

Once again, I will use these people

as an excuse.

Speaking of those people, it's been a while since I posted any pictures of substance. That's because my camera died. I had to wait until my new one was ready.


I think it's fair to say

that I love my new camera.

Or maybe I'm just crazy about my subjects.


In case you couldn't tell

we went apple and pumpkin picking last weekend.

There was also a hayride. It was pretty much kid heaven.


The day with nature wouldn't be complete without a little junk food.

Neither Leo or Ellie had ever had anything like this before (still not sure what to call it--it's a chocolate dipped marshmellow thingy, I guess).

They obviously both had no problem figuring out what to do with it. But Ellie definitely took a beating with hers.

We came home and played in the backyard. Ellie had so much fun she didn't take a nap.

We ended the day with a game of "Red Rover."

This is my new favorite picture of Leo-this is quintessential, ecstatic, happy, stubborn and nearly omnipresent joie de vivre Leo. This just captures him, completely.
