Fall Family Fun

It is a RARE occasion that Julian has a weekend day off, much less at least one weekend day off for 4 weeks in a row!  And any time Julian is home, we try to enjoy as much family time together as we can.  

So last weekend, we went to our local pumpkin patch with the kids. 

Perfect for our family of 4

This pumpkin patch is located at the Farm Patch and it has lots of fun little features to keep the little ones (and their Daddy) entertained.  

Jillian thought that Dorothy was a princess, so she said she wanted to take her picture as a princess

 It warms my heart so much to see the sight of my daughter walking hand in hand with her Daddy!

I love my kiddos!

Me and my son

He is a strong boy...strong like the Hulk!

We needed to buy some pumpkins to finish off our perfect fall entryway (pics to come soon).  So Jillian picked this white casper pumpkin for herself and a smaller one just like it for her baby brother!

The CUTEST pumpkin in the patch!

A perfect fall day for the Acosta 4

After the pumpkin patch, we came home and changed into our PJs for family movie night.  We moved the guest bed into the living room (and it may or may not still be there...don't judge!).

We were finally able to watch Despicable ME with Jillian.  Every time we offer this movie option to her, she always chooses something else.  Lately, we tell her this is the only movie option and she refuses to watch it.  So her smart Daddy came up with a plan to get her to finally agree to see this movie...

Daddy: Jillian, do you want to watch Despicable Me?

Jillian (in a whiny voice): I don't want tooooooooooooooo!

Daddy: OK, how about Minion's Rush instead?

Jillian: Yeah, that's a good idea.

Little does she know, Daddy just changed the name of the movie...ha, he fooled her!

Bubs slept through the whole thing

It was the perfect ending to a fall family fun day!
