An Outing for Two

We had the best weekend.  A lazy one.  We had no plans for the whole three days!  Saturday I woke up early (stupid body clock!) and had a message from my brother, he sent me The Office season 6 episode 1!  AHH!  I woke Nick up from my laughter, we started the whole episode over again and laughed the entire time.  Nick schooled me at the game mom sent, which was quite upsetting because i KNOW i used to kill that game at Grandma and Grandpa's house!  Grandpa Shine taught me how to win!

We then proceeded to take a nap.  When we woke back up at NOON, we went for a drive... I asked him to please pull over to this beautiful field of yellow flowers (weeds) because i have been wanting to run through it for weeks!  We did, i was bitten on the food and my shoes needed a good washing but we did it, and i am so happy we did!

This was my artsy atempt.  The sky looked SO cool!  Then... on the way home Nick pulled out his mad skills and took this picture, which i love!

Sunday after Church we went to the Pumpkin Patch!  We left at 1:30... we arrived at 6:30! NO JOKE!  Our directions were AWFUL!  "Take the exit"... what does that mean google maps?
The pumpkins were beautiful and we had fun in the end.  We got some pumpkins that i had never seen before except in the Martha magazine last year, that was fun!  I am now in love with them and don't want to carve them.  Next week carving... and babysitting the cutest little boy!  I think we will make pumpkin seeds and pumpkin butter!

Every year since i don't know when, we have gone to Shultz Farms in Auburn, picked our pumpkins and taken our picture by the "How Tall this Fall sign.  Now that we live in Germany, this is a little difficult... this year we painted a "How Tall this Fall" sign for mommy, tradition will now be carried on! Why do i look like i am either going to fly a plane, or ride a horse???

This weekend we also...

Made fall tortilla chips

Banana Bread Pudding (for Nick)

Mozzarella, Basil & Peppered Salami skewers

(Thanks Mom, they were DELISH!)

To finish off our kid friendly day of playing in the leaves and hay... Chicken fingers and Honey mustard.

and Weight Watchers Crab Cakes

(I wasn't impressed)

I think to make them less fat and calories they took out most of the "glue"... making the cake not hold together too well.  Hmm...
