Seven Friarys

Lucy and I took a little detour on the way to Trader Joe’s this morning. We stopped at the farm so that Lucy could play with the goats and sheep. She also loves playing on the hay. The weather has been perfect this fall so it’s been wonderful doing so many outside things together. 

Today is another gorgeous fall day. I spent most of it outside playing with Lucy while the others were at school. 

The first thing Chloe said to me when she got off the bus yesterday was “please tell me you made an apple pie today”. I didn’t. So today I made her an apple pie. 

This is my favorite apron. I wear it all the time. Jon bought it for me from Anthropologie last Christmas. It makes me feel like a modern day 50’s housewife. I like feeling like a modern day 50’s housewife, makes me happy (like clean closets)…….notice my black and white photos. 😉

My little helper is stealing apple slices out of the bowl. 

Mmmmmmmmm Chloe is going to love this!!

Lucy and I have been going on little walks together this week. The air is getting crisp and the colors on the trees are starting to pop. Today, while we walked, she told me a story about Santa Claus and the elf. It looks like she is trying to rush these beautiful fall days. 

Today was one of those perfect fall days. We had a morning full or errands and then an afternoon of apple picking and church. This is one of the first times that we went to church as a family of 6. Oh my God, Lucy was so stinkin cute sitting between Jon and I with her hands in the perfect prayer pose. I’m pretty sure that taking pictures of my kids is frowned upon in the Catholic Church so it’s one of those sweet little memories I will have to keep in my mind. I did get a lot at the apple orchard though. 

Can anyone spot Emma in the tree? 

I had to include this one of Megan getting ready for her school dance last night. 

Can’t wait to start making apple pies!! I love fall!!
