Oh, What a Beautiful Morning!

It's 52 degrees at my house this morning and we're loving it! Mark is off hiking with his dad and the two youngest kiddos are sitting on the back patio (in sweatshirts!) drinking hot chocolate. I love these chilly fall mornings.

The kiddos and I are headed off to work at our church pumpkin patch this morning. Mark and SB and FE spent 5 hours there yesterday unloading the truck and setting up the patch. To my understanding, there are about 2500 pumpkins! That's a lot of orange!!

Our weekend so far has been lovely. Dinner with the inlaws on Friday for Mark's birthday. My FIL had just returned from Paris, so we got to hear all about his trip. After dinner, my inlaws came by to pick up their cookie dough and we spent another hour or so chatting with them. It was so lovely.
Yesterday I spent my day shopping for decorations for the 7th and 8th grade fall dance. We're doing a "Blast From the Past" theme. SB has a killer 80's outfit and I can't wait to see how the other kids dress!

And no school on Monday!! Woohoo! And I'm not working! That may be the best bit of the weekend! Three of the kids need to see the dentist/orthodontist tomorrow, but even that will be fun as it's Bubba's last visit to the pediatric dentist he's been seeing since he was 2! They do a big goodbye when the kids leave them, with the entire office staff standing in the reception area singing to the kid as he/she leaves. Bubba has never seen this and has no idea about it (or I'm sure he would not be going to the appt. tomorrow) but I think it will be hysterical!

I hope your weekend has been wonderful as well!!
