Pumpkin Patches

I will update the post later with pictures, but this is the week for pumpkin patches! On monday, we went, as a family to Hee Haw Farms.  We got in for free because of an event that was sponsored by the Angel Network for families of special needs children.  What a blessing people like this are!  They truly are angels.  It is nice to do something that would normally cost our family about $60 so we don't do it because we never know if 10 minutes into Sam will have a complete meltdown and we'll have to leave.  When things like this are free, it makes it more possible.  Plus, it's nice to be in a place where everyone else is dealing with the same issue!  There were so many beautiful children there with downs syndrome, autism and a whole array of other challenges.  These children are so special and bring such an amazing spirit with them that the whole evening was just awesome!

And yesterday (Tuesday) was Olivia's preschool trip to pumpkinland!  We had a blast!  She was so excited and loved every minute of it.  I think her favorite thing there were all the picture boards that she could put her face in and have me take a picture!  She had to do every one of them!

Tomorrow starts Fall Break and I'm so excited!  There are many things I want to do and hope that we have time for it all!

Last night, after dinner, Sam wanted to go for a walk.  He, Olivia and I walked around the neighborhood looking at all the Fall decorations.  It was so fun! He is obsessed with spiders and wants to be one for Halloween!  It was just cute to see their excitement over the decorations and their faked fear! LOL!  I just love this time of year!
