It's only for a few days and then I will be back in ACTION!
Feel free to email me if you need to!

Harvesting Memories





This weekend we packed the kids up in the car for a trip to a local pumpkin patch.
We decided on Chesebrough Farms
They are based out of Templeton California, down an old dirt road (for reals!)
I love their whole set up, and that they aren't one of those crazy LARGE pumpkin patches where you have to go out an pick your own... That's totally cool if that's your thing, with toddlers though, the less surface area for them to escape the better!
We had perfect weather too.
The kids enjoyed a wagon ride around the patch and picked out their pumpkins. Okay, I actually picked them out, they could really care less which one they took home.
We even managed to squeeze in a quick family photo op.
Although I am not happy with how I look in them, they came out pretty cute.
We came home with not only pumpkins, but some great memories!

Have you taken a trip to the pumpkin patch yet??

{Preview} Pumpkin Patch Fun

We traveled to the Pumpkin Patch today as a family of 4...
We didn't go last year, horrible I know!
Thought I would share with you a little bit of our fun day!
Attempted some quick family pictures...Realized it's almost nearly impossible to get 
a picture with all four of  looking at the same time.
And, I am okay with that!
Stay tuned for more pictures later in the week!!

{Thankful Thursday} Home Sweet Home


I am so thankful for my Home.
I am not talking about my house, although I am thankful for that too.
I am talking about where I live!
California...the Central Coast...Home
I when most people hear California, they tend to cringe!
Yes with crazy laws and elevated living prices, it can be a downer. 
But if you look past all that, we are pretty luck and fortunate to live in such 
a GORGEOUS place!
Minutes from the Coast (well 45 for me at least)
Beautiful Landscapes
And so much more! 
I would say that this place really isn't all that bad...

Currently...Week 3

Currently I am...

Worrying about not getting the kids' Halloween costumes done in time for, well, Halloween. I think I finally settled on what each of them will be, now just a matter of getting them together. Heading out to pick up everything I will need and hoping I don't change my mind!

Listening nothing at the moment. TV going in the background and kids are in bed. Kind of a quiet house......

Wishing for a lot of things. But with out going in to much detail (because I don't like to get political), I am wishing that the country votes this upcoming election. Every vote counts. Who ever you vote for, just vote! (And vote smart!)

Observing life as it whizzes by me. I swear I can't seem to keep up with it. My kid are shooting up like bean poles, no longer babies! I was actually informed by my nearly 3 year old that she is no longer a baby! REALLY!!!!! She could have been easier on my, so blunt! Gaaash!

Considering...... Don't really know where to go with this one. Uhhh... Stuck.... Considering I probably should have thought about things I am considering for this part of the post....

{Tuesday Threads} Birthday Outfit

I was going to post this next Tuesday...But for the sake of it being a "Birthday Outfit" I decided to add another one today. My mom got me these shoes, that I have been DROOLING over!! 
I found this pale pink Quiksilver Women's top at TJMaxx about 2 years ago, wore it once and I have been torn about getting rid of it...
Glad I didn't!

Adventures of a Newly 26 Year Old

So it's official... 4 more years until the BIG 3-0!
YIKES!
Let's not get ahead of ourselves though... I still would like to enjoy my 20's.
This weekend my mom, who is the most AWESOME GiGI, took the kids for the weekend so the Hubs and I could spend some time together. I can not thank her enough. This was our first weekend alone, no kids, in...uh...hmmm... 3 years.
We needed it!
Lucky for us, we live on the beautiful Central Coast of California, so we didn't have to venture far.
We traveled up the coast to San Simeon and enjoyed so yummy food on the beach. We actually had normal conversations, and laughed our butts off!
We definitely need to do this more often.

Currently...Week 2

I am currently...

Feeling quite tired. I can't seem to catch up on sleep...or go to sleep for that matter. I go to bed around 9ish, but find myself laying in bed for 2 hours trying to fall asleep. Then by the time morning comes, I can't even wake up to my alarm...SNOOZE!! Considering trying something to help with sleeping, maybe a tea or something...

Drinking A LOT of coffee because I am so flippin' tired!! I don't know if I have ever drank so much coffee in my life!! I actually ran out of creamer the other morning, so the coffee freak that I am made a special trip to town to get some more!! Plus stuff for dinner, so I don't sound to cray cray!! I need to drink more water though. What I chug in coffee, I lack in water! Wait a minute....I use water to make coffee...Hmmmmmmm

Looking for my brain! I lost it about 3 or more years ago...I don't know if I will ever find it again!! That's why I carry a notebook around. But since I can't find my brain, I can never remember to actually write anything down in my notebook. So I just carry around a blank notebook for the heck of it!

Dreaming of sleep...I think there is a theme going on here...

Making time to spend with my Hubs this weekend! My mom is taking the kids, so we will have a whole 2 days to ourselves...Childless (Kinda). Haven't really made any official plans. Possibly a nice sit down dinner at an actual restaurant!! Maybe we will get wild and go see a movie!! Although I might just fall ALSEEP! HA!
