Enjoying more of fall...

Yesterday was a pretty crazy day filled with family and friends. My parents met up with us first thing in the morning along with my grandmother to get fresh doughnuts (not for me or the illustrator) and coffee (definitely for me and the illustrator). We left from there to go to our friend Matt and Nayoung's to continue enjoying the fall season. They got an outdoor fire pit last year that they never used and well, it was time to put it to some use!

My mother-in-law gave us marshmallows the size of my fist a couple of weeks ago...


 




There is nothing better than sitting around a nice warm fire in the early fall roasting marshmallows and telling scary stories to your kids when there is a full moon out!


This was actually my evening snack to balance out the sugar high we were on!  Nayoung made a taco feast and we pulled out the leftovers from earlier when we came back in.  The meal was a hit with all of us.  I love make your own taco feasts!


We were supposed to go to a friend's house to carve more pumpkins today, but she is sick so I will share more from last week!

Family photo (the photos were a mess to load, so sorry if they are weird)...

I just baked a treat that I was going to take to our gathering tonight...I can't wait to share it tomorrow! There was a torch involved!

Anybody do anything fun to enjoy the fall weather this weekend?

    I love giant marshmallows. I was able to enjoy the beautiful weather outside (watched the annual Regatta here in Boston) and spend time with friends. Perfect fall weather is the best!

    My son had a field trip on Friday to a pumpkin patch. That one remains uncarved and will probably become pumpkin puree. Yesterday though our library did a pumpkin carving for the kids and we did it together. Loads of fun! Today was our church's fall festival with soup and bread lunch after. I love this time of year!

    Now I am off to discover that butternut squash recipe. :)

    Man it's been too long since I had a marshmallow. I love the burnt ones.

    Your pictures are awesome. This is the time of year I'm so thankful I have a camera. To take fun pictures of pumpkins, duh!

    Have a good night!

    I love these pictures :) I love all of your happy family pictures, really! You guys are always having fun down there, I think! Those must have been some seriously huge marshmallows!! They look like they're perfectly burnt, too.
    And can I note how much I love the fact that the boys all wear converse?

    I just carved a basic pumpkin yesterday. My first time ever. These are so creative!

    Marshmallows have to have that little bit of burn for smores! :D

    And your pumpkins are like artwork. I guess it makes sense with the illustrator as a husband. :)
