What a wonderful, beautiful weekend. The weather has been perfect. The company a delight. The adventures plentiful. Today, we celebrated Columbus Day with a little pumpkin pickin' in Homer Glen. Bengston's Punkin Farm is, how do I say this, one interesting place. Millions of pumpkins decorate 170 acres of spooks, tricks and treats. Really, I only wish that I had a couple of hours to explore the place myself without the boys so I could take in all things ghoulish. Gramma Jane and The Pup joined us for the trip, which I was grateful for because man was it crowded. I think I easily could have lost Michael in the sea of three foot children roaming the grounds on their sugar highs.

It was wonderful to get out of my almost box free home and get some fresh (hot) air. Thank you Pup for occupying Michael so much. He'll miss you when you're gone. What a fun adventure this one was!!

Four with Nature.

Today was our second first anniversary. I think I've mentioned before that Dennis and I have two anniversaries. July 24th- the day we were legally wed and October 10th- the day we were married in the church and in front of our friends and family. So, when it comes to celebrating we do it twice a year. We've established that July 24th is a day to celebrate with each other and on the 10th of October we spend the day with our boys and celebrate our family. Works out really well, actually. Today we celebrated with a trip to the Morton Arboretum. After waiting in line for 45 minutes to get in (it was 80* outside and GORGEOUS) we had the chance to explore the grounds for a few hours and get some good walking/play time in. Michael was just exhausted by the end of the day. What a beautiful place. If you haven't been, you must go!
