Hello Fall

I always love this time of year! We have done so much already! At the begining of September my mom came and visited for an entire week. It was so nice to have her around. We went to the Grove in L.A. twice while she was down and ate at the Marmalade Cafe. (yum). Locally, we did the Bob Jones Trail in Avila and visited the barn there. I think she really enjoyed her visit and hanging out with the B.

On October 1st My friends invited me over for a Hocus Pocus Party. We brought "halloween" themed snacks and watched Hocus Pocus! It was nice to escape for the night and be around friends.
They did such a good job decorating!

We went to the pumpkin patch again down in Avila! B ran around and visited all the animals like he always does. He especially loves roosters and ducks. I did the hay maze with him and we got a little lost! (sad because the maze wasn't very big!) It took us about 15 minutes to get through it all and almost missed our tractor ride. Needless to say I was a hot mess with hay all over me. We found a pumpkin to take home and got lunch at The Custom House down by the beach. It was such a fun day:)


I thought this was a little fun.

B's first time at Avila Barn.
2010 Visit
2011 Visit! Wow. Time flies.

Of course I also have to show you my mantle that I worked hard on this year.
I made a flag banner to count down the days to Halloween!
I made a fabric pumpkin with Modge podge. The picture is B's ghost handprint from last year. We did another one this year and I have it sitting in my bookcase.

I wrapped yarn around wooden letters to match everything:)

That's about it for now. B should be up from his nap any minute!!

Take Care!
