First Annual Fall-tober Fest Weekend

This weekend we celebrated our own made-up holiday, Fall-tober Fest. It's important to me that when we have children, we have traditions in place for them to look forward to each year. We decided to wing it and Fall-tober Fest ended up being a fun weekend full of fall-ish activities (actually not unlike our typical weekends, but now I'm turning it into a tradition).

We woke up Saturday morning and went to the pumpkin patch and picked out the perfect ones for carving/painting. 

A few hours later we headed to the corn maze, which I had been dying to do for the past few years. When we got there we walked all the way to the ticket booth and were already so hot we were debating giving up and going home. So we did (it was SO HOT, don't judge!)

We came home and invited our best friends (and our typical Saturday night group) over for taco night and while the guys watched the fights, us girls played a new game called "Heads Up" which was hilarious once we had had a few tequila sunrises! We plan on having a friend get-together every Fall-tober Fest weekend.

Me, cracking up playing "Heads Up!"

Sunday we went to a fantastic lunch at a crepe place in town. The waiter was a kid from high school and since we had never been there before and raved about the food, he gave us a huge, delicious crepe dessert that we devoured before I could even take a photo! I spent the afternoon making frosting with my mom for our cake decorating class (next year the tradition will be cupcake making!) while the guys watched the Niners game. 
Afterward, Matt and I worked on our pumpkins with a bottle of cab and "Nightmare Before Christmas."

Our little "poogle" Lucky had a seizure in bed with us a week ago, and since he's been having lots of tremors pretty much all day. We are making sure to spend a lot of time loving him and trying to keep him comfortable and happy for as long as we have left with him. He has a costume for his Halloween celebration!
