first off, here's ella before we left for the children's museum. i wish i had gotten a better picture of her with her wheeled suitcase packed. she seriously looked like great aunt edna ready to depart for her winter in florida! the hat, the matching warm-up suit, the comfortable shoes, and don't forget the rolling suitcase... i tried so hard not to laugh.
on saturday we spent most of the day in the car waiting in traffic to get to the fall festival in ellicottville (wny ski country). we made our way out to the pumpkin farm with the rest of the city folk to expose our children to farm life. the girls both rode a horse, with the bike helmets safely buckled. i doubt anyone in real farm life wears a bike helmet to ride horses. seriously.
here's ella...(also, notice it's still shorts weather here!!!!!!!)
tonite, we carved our gigantic pumpkins. the girls wanted double-faced pumpkins. so, each pumpkin has a face on the front and one on the back. we're very creative. 
we also did the following:grown-up night out (friday night) to lazertron. we did go-karts, a crazy game involving slow-moving, hard to control bumper cars and a ball. then we ended the night in a sweaty game of lazer tag. it was seriously a fun night. this was my friend kari's surprise birthday party planned by her husband. (sounds like a boy's idea of a super-fun party, don't ya think?)
the girls and i shopped for new shoes. aftie ended up with black patents, and tall brown boots. ella scored a brown patent pair of mary janes. very cute.
the girls and i also hit the farmer's market this afternoon and picked up a gigantic bag of apples. ryan laughed and said, "what? are you making applesauce or something?". no, but i'm gonna make something...just you wait.
also, have you heard of scentsy candles/warmers,etc? my friend christi is going to be selling them. she's in arizona, but i have not even heard of them. they sound lovely though and wondered if any of you kids have them?

I just laugh so hard when I read your posts. You should write for a living. Very funny.
What a fun break!
I'm glad you had such a great time!
Thanks for checkin on me... and offering to bring soup!
You are so kind!!!
sounds like a lot of fun. Also those sensy candles, amazing! I want one. Mike's sister Jen has one and they are seriously amazing, they work very well. You should get one.
Way to RE-USE your pumpkin, both sides. Ella was darling on Friday. I know that you'll make lots of yummy things with all those apples. Scentsy smells great, my cousin sells it and I stocked up on car fresheners for Christmas presents ($2)
what a delightful weekend! LOVE the pic of Aunt Edna/Ella. She is such a crack-up! Little Aftie is such a beautiful girl and I'm glad she is liking school better. Keep up the posts!
Thanks for the fun party today!! And thanks for all of the delicious food and recipes! I am so excited to try them out!
