Indian Summer

What a beautiful time of the year... suddenly the trees change their color. It sure went fast... within days you see leaves fallen and trees changing color and today in Plymouth I really 'noticed' it!!! I went with the kids to the Plymouth Orchard for a hayride :)... and a little walk through the farm, visiting the animals and off we went to Chuck E. Cheese meeting other families and spending some crazy time. Urgh... what a kids place!!! I haven't met one parent who loves this place but the kids go nuts!!! :)



Heyride through beautiful Indian Summer

Smart Girl... she couldn't reach the hole and decided to stand further back so she can 'see' me through the hole... MAN!!! :)
Here we go... Chuck E. Cheese... paradise of all kids


*YUM* greasy pizza :(... the kids were sooo thirty afterwards... urgh

and playing... again and again
ENJOY... this video is funny

Pumpkin Factory

Fall is such a nice season, I tell you... and THAT's why it's so nice to have the seasons and not live in a state where you have summer all year around! 
Yesterday was a beautiful day... after spending the morning together with the family I decided I'll move the garden furniture inside on a nice day instead of like last year ending up moving them inside before a  big storm in the rain!!! Lesson learned ;).
After nap time I went alone and got my oil changed... too cute... Zoe saw me getting ready and she came up to me and said: 'Mom, I'm ready to go'
So there was no question, I had to take them out again to do something fun and we did... we decided spontaneously to go to the pumpkin factory which is only 15 min away from us or 10 and so cheap... all I had to buy was one ticket for the hayride, for 2 Dollars :)... who can top that? Here some fun pics from our afternoon:


Ready to go on the hayride: The kids LOVE it




Oh, Zoe is so excited to see the pumpkins. FR at Apple Charlie's she was waiting for the pumpkins but they only had apple fields so she wasn't as excited.





Today is sunday... so after my grocery shopping trip alone :) we'll have nap time of course but then we'll have another fun filled afternoon with another Orchard we haven't been to this season in Plymouth and then Chuck E. Cheese for dinner... oh I hate this place and it's a germ fest. But, some people meet there that I know and Zoe loves this place and Frank will watch football today and then has a bz dinner to go to and I don't wanna hang out alone at home for dinner... booooring ;)... 
Oh another great thing... I slept through the night last!!! We're making progress, I'm soooo excited. Henry went to bed at 8PM (which is their normal bedtime) and he's still sleeping :). Could be that I didn't hear him during the night because I was too tired... and I have to be honest, I wasn't sure if I got up or not?! But my boobs told me I didn't :)... I'm so excited... maybe it works out with him sleeping through the night slowly by surely. 
Oh, and Ms. Zoe has done her No. 2 in the toilet last night again :)... second time, all by herself she told me she wants: 'auf klo gehen' (have to go potty) and then she sits there and we have a game going, she's making movements: hiding hands, making shapes... and I have to copy the movements and when she farts, we're giggling and then when she actually DOES it... she's so excited and she calls for Daddy so proudly because he has to come and see it :). It's the cutest thing ever... we're sooo proud of her. So we're 'working' on it but not really... I've tried a couple of times to make her go but it's just not working out so I just let her tell me when she's ready, hopefully by 3 years she'll be done potty trained.

Henry's 1st Birthday Party

Boy oh Boy... what a day... hard working but worth every bit. Here the cupcake selection :), Cute, aeh?



I also made a black forest cake *YUM*, home made pizza and meatballs. The food was very yummi, everybody loved it.
A fruit plate and tomato/ mozzarella to cover the healthy section ;)







Henry's Birthday Gift... he finally got a gift sometime during the party ;)... he loved the truck that daddy picked out for him and all the other kids as well :)... Henry didn't have much from it during the rest of the party.


After everybody left we've opened up the rest of the gifts... Family Fejes gift was a big hit :)... the box in particular but then when they saw the inside... the inside was so much cooler

Zoe wanted to help and Henry wanted to play

One year old and cute as a button :)
