Miscellaneous Happiness

The autumn enjoyment continues around here! This past week we went to our kids’ favorite autumn destination: Cornbelly’s. There are a lot of places around that have similar fall festivities, but Cornbelly’s has the corn-maze which is what sells it for me. But also, there is just SO much to do there! We never get around to doing it all because the kids can only handle so much fun in one day, plus they could spend the entire day in the “corn box”–like unto a sandbox, but filled with corn instead of sand.

Portia in the corn-box.

Here are some other pictures from the outing.

Carter had to focus really hard on NOT focusing on the tractor to give me any kind of smile for this picture. I was grateful for his efforts.

Fay driving a tractor through her field. I love how much she loves being in pictures, but can’t bare to look at the camera!

Too cute for words.

Victory Bridge at the end of the corn maze. We have NEVER successfully completed a corn maze with our kids before, so this picture was well deserved. Fay had just sliced open her finger on some corn 🙁 and we had yet to get a bandaid.

The other night we decorated pumpkins (we’re not grown up enough to carve them yet). The big kids decorated theirs with stickers and paint. Josh made the cool one. Mine is the one with only one sticker on it. Portia decorated hers, but when nobody was helping her actually decorate the pumpkin, she started decorating easier things like walls, so I opted to help her instead of further embellishing mine.

If you’re wondering if our steps really look that bad: they don’t. They look way worse.

In non-autumn-related news: The other day, Carter got out his crown from Fay’s birthday and decorated it anew and then thoroughly enjoyed being a king for awhile.
