{weekend in photos}


Despite the fact that I'm in the middle of a super busy day, I can't help but be giddy over the fact that today is the first day of my absolute favorite month of the year...OCTOBER!

Goodness I love this month. Fall festivals, changing leaves, pumpkins, apple cider, orchard trips, and my wedding anniversary. SO much to love about October. And we filled this past weekend to the brim with fun stuff.

On Saturday morning Mom #2 and I took the boys to our local Oktoberfest. The weather was perfect and there were so many vendors with amazing handmade items. I was totally bummed when I realized that I had forgotten to take cash with me...most of them didn't take credit cards. BUT it was good news for our checkbook. ;)

The boys weren't too thrilled with being there...what...no toy stores? But they made up for it by looking really cute...


I tried to get a family photo on a cool set of theater seats, but thanks to a cranky Ben and too many onlookers, this is what we ended up with...

#1....


#2....


#3...


To be honest I wasn't in my best mom mode during this outing and this photo op gone bad was the beginning of the my end..sometimes I forget that these fun fall traditions aren't just about me anymore. But thanks to a few pep talks from Mom #2, cookies she bought for the boys, and a vanilla latte from a fun new coffee shop we made it through.

my vanilla savior ;)
Later on Saturday we made a fun Halloween craft with the boys...pumpkin lanterns!


I'll share a little DIY post about these soon!

On Sunday morning while the hubby slept in, the boys and I went to our favorite coffee shop for breakfast.

Muffins as big as your head!


Bagel and a latte for me, and fun leaf sprinkles for Ben...


And then on Sunday afternoon we enjoyed a big family meal and I snapped these pics of the boys...


They are looking SO grown up. *sigh*

All in all, it was a really great weekend, my crappy mood aside.

I'm looking forward to filling this next weekend with more fall fun, and a better attitude. ;)

Did your weekend involve any fall activities?

Must have been the weekend for crappy mom 'tudes. I was really annoyed with Hank yesterday because he refused to take a nap even though he was exhausted. He just wallered and whined all afternoon and I was so irritated because all I wanted to do was snuggle up with him under a blanket and go to sleep myself.
