Fall weekend fun

This weekend flew by. Why does Fall always slide right by?.. and then Winter. Ew, I'm not ready for Winter!

Lily is getting over a cold and Mark is coming down with one. My remedy for a cold is to get outside and get some fresh air. Thankfully the weather was nice so we were able to do just that.

Saturday:

We saw a little tent outside Target that was full of pumpkins and a sign that said 'free'.
Um, yes, please. The rules were that you had to be '12 and under' and give them your email to receive updates on the mall construction (the closest mall is under construction until next fall). Sure, we'll receive emails for two free pumpkins!

'Dadda, I want THAT one'

They even had a little table for decorating where Lily
painted and bedazzled her pumpkin with pink glitter.
 
 
Sunday:

Still coughing and sniffling meant no church for us. No need to contaminate all the other kids!
We headed into DC early for some more fresh air. It was chilly but not a cloud in the sky. There was also a race going on which was really neat to see; around 20,000 runners. I especially liked standing in line to use the restroom with runners in front of and behind me jogging in place. People, you rock!
We only spent a little time out this morning. We parked next to the White House and walked to the WWII Memorial and Lincoln.

"Listen here, I've got lots to say"


Dream big, my girl. 
 
 
Ethan slept a lot through our outings so here are a few of him inside:
