Football & Pumpkins!!!

Fall is definitely our time of year...not sure what it is, but it's like we come alive in the fall....as dumb as that sounds, it's really true!  We enjoy the other seasons, but it's the crisp in the air, the cool breezes, sweatshirts, warm scents, apple crisp, football, and pumpkins!  The past few weeks have been really fun!  Ethan and Brenton started their football season and they are going strong w/ 1 week to go, so far, undefeated!  I'm really surprised in Ethan, because all he talked about all summer was golf and so when football got here, I wasn't sure he wanted to play.....boy, am I glad he did, he's really having fun with it!  I'm so proud of my husband, too....he's really teaching these boys the fundamentals and he smiled from ear to ear when he heard that the parents are impressed with him as coach!  Have I ever mentioned how much I love my husband....LOL!  I know, I know but I had to say it again!!!  The other week after their game, I had 3 parents come up to me and say these words, "We've told our boys they need to be friends w/ Ethan, because he's such a good boy" and "I've never seen a boy run the ball w/ a big smile on his face"....that's my Ethan, a heart of gold no matter what he is doing and we are so very proud of him!!!! 

Another thing we love during the fall, is pumpkins!!!  We went to a local pumpkin patch on a Friday night, after I got home from work, and the boys had a blast!!  They searched and searched for the right pumpkin, found a few, and we even found a close resemblance to one of our favorite pumpkins, Spookley the Square Pumpkin. =)  Colin, was the cutest, he's just a no thrills type of kid and just get to the point.  He found his pumpkin and then he was done, so the wagon is where he wanted to be w/ his pumpkin while Ethan kept searching.  Finally, Ethan found the ones he wanted and $36 later, we all had pumpkins and I had a couple of mums to go along with our display and off we went back home.  We had such a great night that Friday!!!
