The almost perfect fall day :)

Today was a great day (minus one thing). It was a perfect fall morning, a little foggy, a little chilly, but not too cold. Jonathan and I met up with our friends Elizabeth and her son Isaac and went to the pumpkin patch. They had so much fun! They were able to go on a hayride, pick out a pumpkin, go to the apple orchard and pick out an apple, go through the corn maze and play on a bunch of stacked hay bales. After that we went over to the little petting zoo, Jonathan petted a sheep, and Isaac got liked by a baby cow. Jonathan danced in front of the cage of chickens, saying chicken, chicken, chicken! And Isaac laughed at the pigs snorting around. :) Then, after washing hands, we all went over and received a cider doughnut and some apple cider. They were both SO yummy!!!! If you haven't been to EZ Orchards, go! I will need to go back I think, they have a market too where you can buy what they make. Its great. Jonathan and Isaac really loved their food too. After that we went home, all the way looking at all the colored leaves falling alongside the road. What a great fall day! Then in the afternoon, my mom asked if we wanted to go with her into Dallas. So we went and ran a few errands, and then went and got some ice cream. Jonathan ABSOLUTELY LOVES CHOCOLATE! And I'm saying that in all caps, because it was very VERY evident lol. After each bite, he'd close his eyes, smile, then dance around in his seat before he'd say, "More!" And you could tell exactly when the sugar hit his system. :) He ran around Dairy Queen for awhile laughing, and then we went to the park and let him run there, and play on his favorite piece of playground equipment, the slide. He had so much fun today!!!!-IF it hadn't been for one incident. I still feel sick about it. He dirtied his diaper, so I was changing it in the car, when I was done, I let him out (there was no one around at all) and he went over and looked in the drivers window where my mom was sitting. I was cleaning everything up, wasn't paying attention and closed the door, not realizing his fingers were where the hinges of the car door was. So I smashed his fingers! Luckily my mom was there, because I think I would have absolutely freaked out. But she said his fingers would be okay. So we went to Rite-Aid to get one of those cold packs that you break and can use immediately. Except they didn't have any of those. But the pharmacist was SO nice and gave me a cold pack from their freezer free of charge. (By the way, where can you get those ice packs I was looking for? Anyone know?) Now he's napping, and I'm hoping that when he wakes up he'll forget about what happened to his fingers and we can have a perfect evening to this almost perfect day :)
