Fun Fall Weekend

We had a fun weekend at home. Friday night we went on our Friday Family Date Night to Cantina Laredo and Marble Slab. I really love this tradition and hope we always continue it. Neil invited Matthew to go to the Rangers/Yankees game on Saturday afternoon, so Mason and I were on our own for Saturday. Matthew had great seats and a fun weekend in Dallas.

Saturday morning Mason and I headed to the local pumpkin patch. He liked the pumpkins, but I had to get on to him for throwing them. He thinks everything is a ball! We will have to go again so we can try to get some family pictures.

We ran into Cheryl and Brody while we were there and she took our picture

Mason and Brody have been in Gymboree together since they were only a few months old!

My cute lil' pumpkin and the pumpkin he picked out. He was so cute carrying it to the check out and handing the lady the money for it!

On Sunday, the Lewis' had a pumpkin carving/pumpkin painting party for our Sunday School class. It was a lot of fun and of course Lindsey outdid herself with the decor!

This next picture deserves a story. Lindsey made these cake balls on a stick and they were just the right height on the table for Mason to grab. I saw him grab his first one and take it outside to eat. Well awhile later, I look up and he is eating another one. I had no idea how he had gotten it. Later, I watched him standing by the back door waiting for someone to open it so he could go in the house. I followed him and he went straight to the table and grabbed another one! I couldn't help but laugh, but seriously, he didn't need anymore. I ended up splitting it with him and told him "no more". Well, again a few minutes later, he walked into the house and saw me coming so he started running to the table and he grabbed one and I said "no", but before I could reach him to take it away from him he licked it! He knew if he licked it that I couldn't put it back on the table! Such a sweet tooth on that kid! I moved the plate so he couldn't get anymore.

I am so glad that fall is here and am looking forward to all the fun we have coming up in the next few weeks. Now if only the fall weather would come!
