I could have named this post miscellaneous or what I did so I chose the later. Brooke, Alex, and I all wore orange on the same day. Brooke decorated her cute pumpkin she got at her school field trip. Alex is now sitting in our laps to read at bedtime. And Alex really likes it when he wakes up an hour early and Daddy is already at work because Mommy lets him play in our bed while she gets dressed and ready.
One of our all time favorite events is the Stockley Garden Fine Art Festival. Brooke knows it as the ‘art and honey’ festival because at the end of the festival I get my local creamed honey from the wonderful people at Horseshoe Point. We enjoyed the beautiful exhibits and danced as a family to the live music.
The fall weather has been crisp and beautiful and so Brooke, Alex, and I have been spending a lot of time having fun at the park. (And some general Alex mischievousness sprinkled in.)
This year we went pumpkin picking at Brookedale Farm and Brooke and Alex helped us pick the pumpkins and cut them from the vine. Afterward they played in the farm play area.

Today while Brooke was at school Alex ‘helped’ me make kitchen sink cookies by mixing his own (empty) bowl with a spatula. He was a very cute helper!
