My Once Upon a Time...

Finn is 11 weeks old! He has been such a good sleeper this week! While naps were usually short, he slept 8-9 hours straight every night, followed by another 3 hour stretch. Fingers crossed it'll stay this way! Brothers telling secrets! First time in his "Sit me up" We enjoyed some cooler temperatures in the front yard. It was late, I was tired, but this little dude snuggled right into me and I couldn't put him down because I know that time is a thief.

He usually eats every 2-3 hours during the day and goes up to seven hours at night.

Naps are pretty good as well, when we are home I always put him in his crib for naps to get him used to it (he also starts his nighttime sleep in his crib and then we bring him in our...

You've probably heard me complain about the heat during Pumpkin Patch season for years now. Well, low and behold, we are having an unusual "cold" October and it has been simply amazing!  After a good rainstorm, my friend Kristy and I packed up the boys and headed to one of our favorite pumpkin patches. I think this must be the fourth or even fifth year that we have taken the boys there together and I'm so glad they still love each other's company as much as Kristy and I do. I had a last minute idea to make matching shirts for the boys and I think they looked so cute together. The hay maze is always a big hit! Apparently Jake told Fox that there was an invisible scorpion in the maze and Fox came running out terrified. We took the hayride to the pumpkin patch and had it all to ourselves! Remember at the last pumpkin patch the boys had plotted to run away from all the pictures? Apparently it was so much fu...
