Hockey, Pumpkin Patch, Apple Picking... Oh My! (Recipe posted)

This weekend was wonderful!  I got to spend the entire weekend with hubby and little man doing what we wanted with no particular time schedule (except for hockey practice of course).  The weekend started with a Fall Spooktacular at little man's school.  And let me just tell you he had so much stinkin' fun!!  Normally when we go anywhere he wants Mommy and/or Daddy right by his side while he's playing.  Not this time!  Our intent was to go and help get things set up and stay for maybe an hour or so.  We were there until the end!  He was busy playing games with his friends and just having fun.  It was so wonderful to see him settled enough that he finally felt comfortable to do just that!  It made my heart so happy!  He had so much fun in fact he woke up Saturday morning sad because he wanted it to be Friday again.  Got to love the way their minds work. 


Saturday was filled with house work and doing things around the house.  Hubby got my new faucet in, LOVE IT!!  Ours was leaking so I picked up one that was on sale at Costco.  It has the sprayer built into the faucet, even has a soap dispenser.  I love this faucet.  I love hubby more for putting it in, not even one curse word through the whole thing!  Pretty impressive. :)  There is still so much to do around here.  I feel like it's never going to get done.  But I know that little by little it will happen, I just have to be patient.


Sunday morning was hockey!  Little man is loving it.  It sucks being the first ones there for practice because they don't have the heaters on and ready for you.  So the first 20-30 minutes were really cold.  After practice the first thing out of little man's mouth was "now we get to go to Greenbluff".  Ha ha! He cracks me up, he has a mind like a steel trap and doesn't forget anything.  So off to the Pumpkin Patch we went.  We decided to go to Eleven Acres where we had gone the last time we went to pick out a pumpkin.  We spent some time picking pumpkins.  We got big one and baby ones, 6 to be exact. Little man of course picked the biggest one he could.  I told him the deal was he had to be able to carry it to the wagon.  He did, dropped it a couple of times but he made it.  Then we were off to pick some apples.  The idea was to just pick a few but when we finally found trees with apples the apples were so far down in the trees that little man was able to pick them himself with no ladder.  He was having so much fun, we just picked.  At one point he had both of his jacket pockets full of apples.  It was a great way to spend the day.  Of course when we got home we had to carve some pumpkins.  We still have 2 more pumpkins to do but we're getting there.  I used some of the apples and made an apple pie....Pies are NOT my thing! The filling is tasty, but it's runny. Oh well, guess we'll have to go back up and get some more apples and make applesauce. :)











Dinner was homemade BBQ Chicken Pizza



Happy Monday Friends!
