On Thursday evening, Allison and Logan showed up at our door to surprise us. They came to stay with us for the weekend and I was so excited to see them. We had a great weekend together and the girls loved seeing them too! I was able to catch a few good pictures to share.
After they got here (and I got over the shock that they were here), we roasted smores in the fireplace and watched the Little Rascals.
On Friday, we lounged around and waited for Matt to get off work.

We took a trip to the pumpkin patch and after Matt got off work, we ate supper and immediately started using our imaginations to carve pumpkins while the girls painted pumpkins.

Glowing pumpkins...followed by an ice cream trip and a game of Scrabble. :)
On Saturday, we ate lunch together, played football, made crafts, and took a trip to Rees Fruit Farm.
On our way!

The fruit of choice at Rees Fruit Farm is the apple and my girl loves apples.
More pumpkins!

After we got home, we made dinner together-chicken enchiladas-and played yet another game of Scrabble.
On Sunday afternoon, we went to Skyline park-where you can see Topeka's whole skyline, played tennis, ate pizza, and played even more Scrabble before they had to head for home.

We were so glad that they were able to come spend time with us.
It was definitely something that I needed and I absolutely enjoyed. I'm so grateful for good friends. :)
After they left, we met up with Matt's parents at a pumpkin patch near their home and went out for pizza afterwards..
They always love spending time with the girls and so do we, so that's what we did.
As we were driving home from the pumpkin patch, I told Matt that the weekend had been one of the best weekends I have had and that I am blessed beyond words. And it's true.
Xoxo,
