Spending the weekend with Pumpkins and Arrows

On our way to a pumpkin patch we stumbled upon a small Medieval Faire!

After we checked it out for a little bit, we headed to the pumpkin patch.

My kids love petting and feeding them all!

They even had a porcupine this year!

They had to have a sign warning that the porcupine bites.

Who tries to pet a porcupine?

People are odd.

Double Digits!

My oldest is 10yrs old!

He got to celebrate his birthday with my family in Indiana so he was pretty happy.

He has started planning his life as an adult.

He asks me questions about ages to get married and mentions his future wife and kids.

He has gotten really into chess, risk, and other strategy games.

He and his brother will play for hours.

So of course I got him Star Wars Risk!!!!

Did you know they made that? It is awesome!

Nick’s parents got him Star Wars Chess, which was appropriate since Nick’s dad taught him how to play to begin with.

And he got Star Wars trivia from my side of the family.

I have not played him.

He reads Star Wars Encyclopedias for fun…

I am pretty sure he had a pretty happy birthday 🙂
