{soon-to-be}

We had a pretty much perfect fall weekend with the boys. It first involved a big trip to this place...

Photo from the boys' 1st IKEA trip...boy how things have changed!

But I didn't take any pictures this time.

Shame, shame, shame.

We did buy some fun things for the house though. An orange paper lantern to hang in the boys' soon-to-be shared bedroom, a LACK shelf (in birch) for over our soon-to-be desk area in the soon-to-be family room, and some curtains for our soon-to-be dining room.

Our house is in sort of a state of limbo these days.

Our hardwoods are still waiting for their date with a sander, which is apparently the most popular date in town. Oh the joys of small town living! So while our house sits in disarray, with two rooms of furniture packed into one, we decided to spend as much time out as possible.

Yesterday we did what any Normal Rockwell-ish family does on a fall day - go to the orchard!

This time I definitely had my camera ready...

The boys had so much fun inspecting all of the "punkins"...

And it was Noah's first trip to the orchard (outside of his momma's belly that is)...

Their Gigi gave them juicy apples to eat on the way home...

After a nap (for all of us) and dinner, we took the boys to the park for some sliding, running, and most importantly, filling up their new pumpkin shaped water bottles with fresh spring water...

Some kisses from Mom of course...

And exploring with Dad...

And each other...

If only we could have 52 weekends like this every year!

How was your weekend friends?
