Halloween 14.

 

 
 Happy Halloween from these adorable trick-or-treaters! Okay, so they may not all be smiling, but at least theyre not crying, right??;) Halloween this year was exceptionally fun for Rob. Watching him trick or treat was adorable. We practiced him saying 'trick or treat' a hundred times, but of course every time he knocked on the door, he became a statue; scared to say anything! He would just hold his bag out demanding candy. haha- Oh, to be 2.  I hope everyone and their littles had as much fun as Rob- Woops,  I mean spiderman!;)  Hehe!

The photos are from our annual Fire Dept. Halloween party, and then a little bit of zoo boo.

Apple Picking.

                                     
 Okay, so this was a lot of fun! I've been seeing people go apple picking every fall for a couple years now, and I thought- how cool! Anything involving local grown food and quality family time is a good day in my book. I was so happy when I found jones orchard, which is located in millington. It was a little bit of a drive to me, but that's because I'm use to everything being so close. Spoiled, I know! ;) I recommend to any who wants to try it out, just plan on making a day out of it. Call me crazy, but places like this I could just explore all day. :) they had lots of land with fruits of all kind; apples, peaches, plums, pears, and even pumpkins. They had plenty of room for Rob and the new pup to run around, and benches where you could pack a lunch and have a little picnic. If we hadn't of got there so late, I would have totally packed a picnic lunch! Maybe next year ;) My favorite part was watching my son. He was so happy, and had a genuine interest in the fruit. As a foodie/nutrition nut, it delights my heart seeing him not just eat good food, but also him learning where it comes from. Rob would hardly touch apples before, but after picking them himself he had a newfound interest. Whatever works, right?;)

Midtown with Kat

 
What a fun day! I got to check out my sisters new place, and do a little midtown exploring. I love that my sis chose this area to live. It's so much fun, and has so much to do! I think that's my fascination with the city in general. Having store upon store within walking distance is nice- especially with my toddler in tow who loves being outside, and genuinely loathes being in a car! He just had all kinds of fun;)

We ate lunch at Mulan off cooper. I ordered the massaman curry, which was so good! I think I have a new obsession with thai food. For real. And my sis ordered the sesame chicken. Oh, and Rob ate portions off both our plates. His new obsession is rice, so he was in heaven! We then stopped inside Java Cabana for some delicious mochas, and just walked around until we decided to call it a day. It was pretty wonderful. The sun was shining, and the temp just right:)  I really love my sisters, and I just feel so blessed to have them. Days like these mean the world to me. Can't wait to visit more Kit Kat. Love you so!! and your cute little town;)
