also can be used as drums!

Today and tomorrow are my fall break. It is much needed, although, with Lily, there isn't much "breaking." Today, we headed to Indy with Chris (my mother-in-law) and Callie. Chris has been looking for furniture for her house. After a screaming fit on the way down by Lily, the trip ended up being pretty successful. She picked out some beautiful pieces! We had lunch at MCL and headed home.

Jeff took Lily to get some pumpkins, and we decided to carve one. Lily wasn't sure about picking out the insides, but she liked trying to pick up the pumpkins and move them saying "heavy." We are excited to see how she likes Halloween this year!

The following days will be busy. I am hosting a team cross country dinner tomorrow because we have our Regional meet on Saturday. Sarah, Ty, and Pat are also coming into town Saturday. I think my mom and I are going to take Lily and Ty to the St. Lawrence Fall Festival. I am looking forward to it!
