How have you been this week?
It has started to feel like fall here in Minnesota. The nights are cooler. The leaves are changing to hues of reds and oranges. The farmers are harvesting corn and soybeans.
This week, we took the Little Bocks to a pumpkin patch. There was a play area that Little Bock 1 ran to. She wore her "princess" dress while climbing straw bales, playing in the corn pit (like a sandbox but with corn), and running through the obstacle course. Little Bock 2 can't walk yet so she was carried by Hubby. She giggled at all of LB1's antics.
They had pumpkins and gourds out on a farm stand. You could also pick your own pumpkin and do a corn maze. We didn't, as we were trying to contain the spirited toddler to open areas. It's too easy to lose a small child in rows of towering corn. LB1 picked out pumpkins for the family. 2 big carving pumpkins and 3 small pumpkins of different colors. She also fell in love with a "banana pumpkin" (it's a gourd). Now, we just have to find a nice day to try carving pumpkins!
On the writing front, I have been working at Cassandra and Trevor's story. It is coming along slowly. I actually joined an online writing group. For the month of October, we are prepping our stories. Then in November, we are going to write them. So, I picked Cassandra and Trevor's story to work on. Do you participate in NaNoWrimo?
Hugs,
Allie
