Mum's the Word?

Not really too mum, I suppose. You all know it's October, right? If you don't, my little Mumkin is here to tell you all about it! (Thanks Megan & family!)

We had an early fall celebration with a trip to Hillcrest for our annual apple picking fun last weekend! 

This is the first year that all of the boys had remembered enough to know just what they wanted to do the most...from the corn pit

to the climbing tires

to the giant bubbles,

the "train," and trikes,

the apple cannon (look at the end of the cannon as it shot that apple!)

and yes, even the actual picking of apples,

we all had a blast! Even the three year old remembered the "school bus picture" (which the rest of us almost walked right past this year...oops!), and another fun photo op! 

Even though it was a hot afternoon when we went (I almost want to complain that it's too warm for fall, but I'm loving it), we still got the annual photos of Jess's family!, 

so I think that ticks everything off our list for this trip! A funny thing that happened along the way was that the middlest boy almost lost Fozzy in the corn pits. I put him in my purse (for safe keeping) and forgot him until the drive home. Jess texted, so I sent photo proof that Fozzy was safe...first, from the car

and again from home, where he was found napping with Uncle Allen.

Later, he helped Pop Pop grill our dinner, 

but when he tried to run...err climb...away, 

we finally had to call and ask Jess and the boys to pick him up! We were tired grandparents after a busy day of bear-sitting!

When I finally found a quiet moment, I got right back to the yarn play, finishing a second block of the minecraft blanket,

and even a little pair of ear ghosts!

It's been a great start to autumn for us, and I hope it's been fun for you, too!

Thanks for stopping by, and Knit in Good Health!
