In other news, the girls and I had a fun weekend together while Matt was away at a golf outing. We did lots of "fall" things, which, some have told me is jumping the gun a bit, especially considering it's 80 degrees today. But, I say, when the calendar turns to September 1, it's time for pumpkins! Speaking of which, CeCe found a biggie on Friday. This little beauty weighed 396 pounds.
Stop the presses!!!
I kid you not, look what just pulled up in front of the house (don't mind the grass. I won't let Matt use fertilizer or pesticide.):
In the process of ripping through the box using my car keys, I set off the car alarm. Oops.
Best yet, at the bottom of the box were paintings from our little Grey! They're going straight to the fridge.
Okay, back to the update.
The pumpkin farm was in Williams Bay, near Lake Geneva (which is beautiful, by the way). The farm even had a hay castle. (My mom went with us. She was afraid to let go of CeCe out of fear the bigger kids would push her off.)
On Saturday, we went to Lucy Coleman's third birthday party. What a great party! Her mom, Sara, did everything in an ice cream theme (Lucy's request). Adorable.
Don't you agree that I need a better camera? I've relied on my iphone as my exclusive photo source for far too long!
Maggiano's wasn't awesome, though. Trying to hold a baby and control a wild nearly-three-year-old is nearly impossible. Funny, they look so good in this photo.
At Betty Brinn, even Mali found something to do!
Meanwhile, CeCe decided to walk into people's shots in the tv studio.
And finally, while my mom was here she decorated the front of our house. She whipped up that wreath and the Indian corn swags like nobody's business! Doesn't it put you in the mood for fall? Thanks mom!!
Off to check out the camera!

Just had to comment that a) I love the blog and b) Maggiano's with kids is TERRIBLE!! My sister, Matt and I went there on a MONDAY night, with all the kids, thinking it would be dead. But no! It was an HOUR wait. So, we ended up at Applebee's. Yuck. And it resulted in a fight between me and Matt b/c he couldn't understand why we weren't waiting. Yum, well, b/c there were 3 starving kids and 2 starving moms. Not a good combo. Keep up the blog!!!
Alli, do you know how much we love you? You remain our most faithful blog reader. I feel like we should give you an award of some sort.
And, given your stance on restaurants, you're definitely my soul sister.
