Choo Choo!

Yesterday we took the kiddos on the Pumpkin Patch Express railroad ride out of Hood River. We all had a great time despite having to get up early and drive out there. The weather was a cool 48 when we arrived at 9:00, but the sun was out and it warmed up to low 60's by noon. Peanut LOVED it. Then Mike bought him a Thomas the trail whistle and he LOVED it even more.

Loving that they don't have to be in carseats while going for a ride.

Trekking across the big field where a very small pumpkin patch was set up behind us.

How Maemae and I enjoyed our time here. She eventually fell asleep and I had my own personal heater to keep me warm.We got back to the car at 1:30, stopped for ice cream, and got home just before 3. It was well worth the early morning wakeups and the skipped naps to enjoy a new adventure for our little family.

Later, I tried to get a good picture where both kids are looking at me, or smiling, or just not looking goofy. This is the best of what I got. I'll keep trying when they're both not so tired.

Maemae got her first dolly last week from a gal on my forum who sews super cute stuff for sale. I know I can make her one, but I don't have a pattern or the time right now to start. And this one is done and ready for loves. And it has blond hair and blue eyes to match Maemae.

That's all for our quick update. Maemae is napping, Peanut is watching a movie and I need to work on his Halloween costume. I should be done in an hour, hour 10 at the most. :)
