Our Pumpkin Patch Visit

I think that the Pumpkin Patch visit is something that you anticipate from the moment you see two lines on that stick.  To be able to take your little ones to pick out there own pumpkin and to create the memories much like you probably have from your childhood.  Well at least it is something I have always envisioned doing with my kids.  Maybe because those two lines showed up in October 2 years ago while fall was fully in swing but I have thought about that day for a long time.  We didn't go last year because I was keeping the twins away from most public places due to being preemies we really kept them only around family for the first few months.

We visited our local pumpkin patch with our good friends and their daughter Scarlett. This pumpkin patch has the most AMAZING apple fritters, we have even driven out there just to get them before.  They make them fresh on Saturday mornings and they are melt in your mouth good.  We grabbed a dozen to take home with us so we could have them all weekend long.  We had corn on the cob, visited the animals (which Ava was enthralled with), sat in a Fire Truck and of course picked out a couple of little pumpkins for the twinsies. 

Of course because we screwed with their nap schedule they were getting a little testy towards the end but all in all I'm calling it a success.

Here are some pictures from our visit!

Also I can't believe that my little tiny twins are now 17 months old.  Times just flies, it really has been almost 2 years since we finally found out that we were expecting even though I can remember every single emotion of that day in October of 2009.  Just can't believe that those two little people were the size of a pencil lead this time 2 years ago.  So thankful for each and every day with them and our little family!

Seriously Thursday

Hey guys! It's Seriously Thursday over at From Mrs. to Mama, I've missed a couple of weeks but this week I definitely had some things that made me go seriously this week.

1.  Seriously my babies toddlers decided they were too cool for 2 naps any longer, they had been 2 naps a day type of toddlers for a long time and it was blissfull but I guess all good things come to and end so we are trying to figure out what works best for our new schedule.

2.  Teen Mom reunion/therapy session, seriously Farrah drives me insane, like when she decided right then that she wanted to take her daughter with her, wishy washy much Farrah, I mean it's bad enough that you were going to leave your daughter with your parents which I guess I can kind of comprehend on her end since she is still I think way too immature to raise her daughter 24/7 on her own but come on.  She is a spoiled little brat who really hasn't changed much from the beginning of the show. ::end rant::

3.  Seriously I am actually ready for fall weather and pumpkins and hay rides and fall colors.  I love fall and we are now having nice weather (mid 70's) which never really made an appearance this summer but is now...weird.  Plus October is my birthday month so that may have something to do with it all!

4.  Seriously I finally sat down and scheduled the twins 18 month (HOLY CRAP 18 MONTHS) appt for November, scheduled the dog for a grooming appointment and scheduled for house cleaners to come do some down and dirty cleaning, I had been meaning to do all of thee above for awhile but finally got around to it.

5.  Seriously I work with all women...enough said...it's been one of "those" weeks over here people.

6.  Seriously ready for the weekend and Grey's Anatomy is on tonight so YAY!

Ok so what made you go SERIOUSLY this week!! Come on you know you wanna tell us.

IF...Yes I'm totally doing it

Ok I've been seeing this on a few other blogs lately so I thought I would join in and play!

Fill in the blanks....

If I were to get pregnant again...I would be absolutely 100% THRILLED since getting pregnant is such a process for us it's not like it would just happen, it would be throughly planned.

If I could have any job in the world...I would be a SAHM, which I would have never said even two years ago, I would probably have my own side business of event planning but would do it for fun, if I had to work, I would probably do something in the event planning/marketing area.

If I had a day to myself...Probably the same as everyone else's answer, I would sleep until I woke up and then I would get a massage, mani/pedi and do a little shopping for myself. 

If I could get married all over again...I would do everything the same other then probably a different location, and I would have changed my bouquet, I hated my bouquet, it wasn't what I had envisioned in my head at all, but what can you do.

If I could live anywhere in the US...Honestly I would stay where I am.  When I was younger I always thought I would live in CA or NY now I am so happy with Washington, we have seasons, it's not $$$ to purchase a house sure it's not super cheap by any means but I am positive I could never afford a house in NY or CA.

If my girl would have been boy they would have been named...HAHA, heres my answer, if Ava was a boy she would be Landon and if Landon was a girl he would have been Ava, see the great part of having B/G twins...lol

If I could have any talent in the world....I would be an amazing chef! I would be able to whip up something out of anything!

If you met me in real life...You would probably think I am super shy which usual comes off as snobby (oops), but if you got to know me I'm pretty sure you would stick around, most do!

If I could go back to school and get a different degree...If I were to go back to school it would to get a degree in business/marketing, I never did get to the college thing, I got married instead.

If money was no object...I would have a house that is paid off, a new SUV, and be able to take awesome family vacations, and no debt at all EVER!

If I could meet one celebrity, it would be....O geez...lets see, I would probably want to meet Britney Spears, just because I love her, I have since well forever, and I just think she seems like a sweet and misunderstood girl.

If I could shop at only one store the rest of my life...Like for everything or just for clothes, if it was for everything OBVIOUSLY is would be Target, if it was just clothes it would probably be Nodstroms or Gap.

If we were to get another pet it would be...a fish because we already have two dogs (a Great Dane which should count for like 5 dogs, and a Cavachon), and fish are low maintence.

If I could go on a trip right now...Somewhere I could lay on a beach with a drink in my hand and sunglasses on.  With pretty clear water and great food.  Or I would go back to Maui because that's where we honeymooned and it was amazing!

If I had to choose between a house cleaner and a personal chef...If I have to choose one I would go with the housecleaner, becuase I don't mind cooking, I just hate cleaning up, and I hate laundry, like hate, I don't mind doing it but I hate folding and putting it away.

If I had the option of plastic surgery...Probably a boob job, I used to be a C (well thats debatable) but now I'm an A (and thats not debatable), pregnancy and pumping did me in.

Babyproofing/MIL proofing 101

So with the twins being more active then ever, we had to do some babyproofing...ya know so that thing 1 doesn't put their hand in the toilet water...not that it ever happened at our house ::shame::, or get into the cabinet that contains all things glass.

So off to Target/Babies r us I went.  I got the door handle thingys, the cabinet locks, the oven door lock, the toilet seat thing so thing 1 can't put his toys in the toilet...not that it ever happened at our house again ::shame::

We got everything assembled and thought WOW awesome, they cant break anything or go somewhere they shouldn't be....little did I know that babyproofing also meant MIL proofing...

Now let me start by saying this, these knob covers were different then ones I had seen before, you know the ones, you squeeze and open the door, these you have to grab as hard as you can in the two little holes to grasp the door knob and open.  My hubby must not have shown my MIL this because...well...she couldn't get it open which resulted in her having to use our master bath which was a DISASTER which then resulted in her doing my laundry since it was piling up in there...bless her heart.  When I got home she said between her arthritis and the two tiny holes she couldn't figure it out and get into the bathroom.  We both had a little laugh and I told her I would make sure I just take that one off on days she comes to watch the twins, which just reminds me that I didn't take it off today so I guess she will be using my bathroom again. 

I mean I guess my laundry got done because of it so I'm not going to complain or {insert a blonde joke} here anywhere.

I just never knew that baby proofing my house meant I was MIL proofing it as well... Hope you all are having a GREAT week!
