Pumpkins Pumpkins Everywhere….

This past weekend we visited Berry Patch Farm Pumpkin Festival. We had decided against attending because of weather, but decided to go at the last minute. On our way up we picked up Valeria, and glad we did she takes such good care of our Isabella.

The weather cooperated just long enough for us to spend our time at the Pumpkin Festival. Overall it was a fun, inexpensive, and cheerful outing. Although I have to say….I expected to see pumpkins growing on vines (like a real farm), and it be a little more of a festival. There were only a few activities, the petting zoo was not a petting zoo at all (more like animals in cages with signs that said “we bite”), and the pumpkins were dumped in a field for you to purchase.

Despite this mild disappointment, it was fun seeing Isabella crawl around the pumpkin patch and explore. She was a bit hesitant at first; perhaps it was her lack of sleep but quickly got over it. Here are some pictures of our fun.

A busy few weeks

As some of you may know, we’ve decided to put our house on the market. We did this for a variety of reasons, but mainly to find a home that requires a little less maintenance and a different floor layout. Our home requires a normal amount of maintenance for an older frame home; however, a bit too much for someone who works as much as Tim does during the week. If Tim had a normal nine to five that would be one thing, but anyone who knows us knows that Tim does the work of three people in a work week. That being said, we have been in full gear getting our home ready, and I must say that after a couple of really rough days our house looks better than it’s ever looked.

I am a little upset that so many people let me keep the dinning room red. Now that it's the same color as the living room it looks so much larger and elegant. Tim added an entertainment center/bookcase in the living space, and we got rid of the dark brown in the downstairs bathroom. Not to mention we have a 7x10 storage unit busting at the seams with our excess junk.

It’s interesting how once you announce you are selling your home; people automatically ask “oh where are you looking to move?” I am sure this is only interesting to me since we don’t have an area in particular; we’re just going to see where the market takes us. Please keep us in your prayers that God directs us where he wants us.
