Pumpkin Patch

With all the work we've been doing to the house we haven't had a lot of free time to do other fun fall things. However, this past weekend we couldn't go into the house because of the fumes from the new finish on our hardwood floors. So we thought it would be a perfect weekend for the pumpkin patch! The rain almost ruined our adventure, but it was sunny out on Sunday so we headed to the pumpkin patch with Megan and Josh and their family!

We had a great time exploring the farm - looking in the barn, checking out the tractors, and of course, looking at all the animals! We searched the field for a perfect pumpkin...
and while this pumpkin was funny, it wasn't the perfect pumpkin for us.

In the end, we found a cute little pumpkin and brought it home to sit on our new front porch! (Let's hope our new neighbors won't smash it to pieces!).

Our New House!

We officially have a new house! It took awhile (there were some issues with the bank since the house was an estate), but it's finally ours!
We closed at the end of September and since then we've spent our weekends cleaning, painting, and getting ready to move in! Since the whole top floor has hardwoods we decided to get them refinished before we moved in. We're so glad we did before moving in because it was a big process and we weren't able to go into the house for a week! When we finally stopped by the smell kept us out for a few extra days...it was so strong it burnt our eyes and made us gag!

This weekend will finally be move in weekend! Scott's apartment lease ends at the end of the month, so we have to get him out of there. :) I'll post more pictures as I take them! We can't wait to get everything situated so we can have visitors! :)
