While Grammy and Grandpa were in town, the girls introduced them to their favorite new game, Pie Face! I wouldn’t really call it a “game”– it’s pretty much turning a dial, sticking your face in a hole and waiting to see if it’s your lucky turn for a handful of whipped cream to hit you in the face. It’s like a sugary version of the board game, Don’t Wake Daddy! The anticipation is the scariest/most exciting part!

Meredith did not understand the point of the game and hated getting messy! She ran off to play more intelligent games, like Risk.

The anticipation!

Swim time with Grammy.

A morning at the park while the twins were in preschool.

Grammy and Grandpa tagged along for our annual trip to the Tanaka Farms pumpkin patch.

Meredith is obsessed with any kind of vehicle– cars, trucks, airplanes, tractors– she gets so excited!

Previous years:

All grown up:

Meredith was very meticulous about her pumpkin picking and traded out her pumpkins from the wheelbarrow several times.

She refused to let anyone help her carry the pumpkins.

Last year, she didn’t have a choice of pumpkins, so this was a vast improvement in her book.

This is getting a little heavy!

Wheelbarrow blast from the past:

We almost lost these crazies in the corn maze!

What’s better than frolicking through a patch of pumpkins? Climbing on a huge pile of them.

Queens of the mountain.

And if that wasn’t enough fall fun, the girls were treated to a zoo trip with Grammy and Grandpa. The real treat was mine, since I got to stay home! Not sure what I did during that time off, but I’m sure it was more relaxing than normal!

Fascinated on the train:

Monkey time.

Lots of love,
