For the few people that read this blog- please get a regular skin check. Cancer sucks.

An Apple a Day

We've had a jammed packed weekend. 

We started off with the Saturday morning Home Depot run. 

More carpet, more lights, more paint

A Chuck E Cheese birthday party!

Soccer games in the COLD!!!!!

And today we went to church and headed to an Apple Orchard / Pumpkin Farm. 

This was my idea. 

I had dreams of a crisp fall day with the warm sun on our faces. Chai Tea's in hand. Everyone happy and excited. 

Apples, pumpkin, & hot cider aplenty. 

Maybe free house trained puppies? 

Ok, Maybe not the puppies.

YOU SAID PUPPIES!!!!!

In reality, it was stressful hot mess just getting out of the house, as it usually is. 

There was no Starbucks run.

The weather was a bit cold for our tastes. 

But they did have candy

And Apples a plenty.

Even the so called, low hanging fruit, was just fine for us. 

We got a family picture out of the deal and made some pretty darn good Apple Crisp.
