fall photo shoot

Did someone mess with my calendars?! How in the WORLD is there only one week of October left?! Fall flies by way too fast... And trying to enjoy every second of it can be a little exhausting.

But enjoy, we have... 

We've gone to the pumpkin patch (if you're in the Tulsa area, be sure to check out Carmichael's - it's awesome!).

We've carved our pumpkins (which are now rotting on our front porch... but hey, we tried!).

We've drunk our PSLs.

We've baked our pumpkin muffins.

We've slathered everything with Trader Joe's pumpkin butter.

We've made our slow cooker meals (there's actually some goulash cooking in our slow cooker right now!).

We've had a fire in our backyard fire pit.

We've made s'mores with marshmallows roasted by a fire in said pit.

... And we had a little impromptu photo shoot in our back yard. Here are some of the pics:

Yesterday we had an adventure of the pumpkin patch variety…

We headed out to Lebanon for farm animals, a hay ride, some good ol’ country air… And pumpkins!

I’m not going to lie… As we pulled up and noticed there was only one other family at the farm, I wondered if we were going to be victims of vampires or zombies (Too many scary movies, perhaps?)… But alas, we survived. And not only did we survive, we had a good time, too!

I remember going to a pumpkin patch when I was a kid and having a blast, so I always knew that when I had children, I’d like to make it a tradition. And even though Jett might not remember this trip to the pumpkin patch when he’s older, he sure had fun seeing the animals and touching the pumpkins! Plus, it’s always nice for us city kids to take a trip out to the country every now and then.

So, if you’re thinking about taking a trip out to a pumpkin patch this year, do it! So fun and fall festive!
