Welcoming Fall (begrudgingly)

I've said this before and I will say it again. I dislike Fall. Severely.
I used to say I hated Fall but was taken aback by the outrage it sparked.
I didn't say I hated babies or Bill Cosby puddling commercials. YEESH!
So I've decided not to hate fall outright.
Let's celebrate it instead. (begrudgingly)

Apple (Pumpkin) Picking
MATERIALS: Crate Random (blue) and Farmhouse (rulers), Crate buttons, Studio Calico wood hearts, Canvas Corps Burlap ATC, American Crafts Dots Thickers, Glitz red alphas,  Fancy Pants "fun" die cut, Uni-ball gel pen.
Please ignore the letter stickers on the first photo. Can you believe my husband saw them before I shot the page and didn't tell me anything?????

I like the cooler weather, the falling leaves, apple picking, Halloween and Thanksgiving.
I hate the feeling that winter is coming. It's like I used to feel about sunday when I worked (at an EVIL corporation that shall remain anonymous). I loved sunday but it also meant MONDAY was right around the corner.
There's a reason I love Garfield.

Used this awesome sketch from Sketch Inspiration

Last year we visited Maskers Apple Orchard in Warwick, New York. It was a three hour drive but pleasant with all the trees (that hadn't turned yet). When we finally got there we were rewarded with a beautiful orchard that also had a Pumpkin Patch, fresh made apple pie, apple DONUTS (WOO HOO!) and pony rides.

Couldn't use this photo- Lola looks.. bored? Robotic?
WHAT is that expression???

PONY RIDE???? Dave and I yelled at the same time.
LOLA CAN DO THAT!
No she couldn't.
Lola was a year old.
Her parents were obviously total and complete fools.
We bought the ticket. We waited in line and Lola cooed at the tiny horses.
Until it was her turn and they wouldn't let her ride with Daddy by her side.
 Two seconds and 10 dollars later all I got was this photo:

NOT THE PAPI!!!

We're going again this year.
We think Lola will have more fun at two.

Who's bad? That's right- we have Nerf guns!

MuChos SmOoChEs!
