Pumpkin Patch!

Jake, Daddy, me, Carolyn, Chris, and Angela all went to the pumpkin farm today to pick out the best first pumpkins!  It was a bit windy today, but we managed to eat some roasted corn on the cob, carmel apples, pretzels, hot chocolate, and apple cider!  Jake enjoyed playing with the pumpkins and crawling around on them.  We went to a different (and much closer) farm than last year, so we weren't able to recreate the "how tall this fall" exactly.  They did have their own sign that we took pictures near.  Jake had a blast! 

 After the farm, I made a combination of my dad and Ben's mom's chili recipe.  We invited Carolyn and her family over for dinner and to watch the Notre Dame game.  The chili was great and it was so fun to have friends over.  Jake and Angela had so much fun together.  They would chase each other down the hallway and screech.  Angela tried to show Jake how to walk (she's already taking a few steps at a time on her own).  Jake just watched and would crawl super fast to show her that he's still getting around! They only made it to the second quarter before bed time called for both of them.  Tomorrow we are taking Jake for his first hair cut!
