How You Know It is Fall

Spooky crafts (cheap spooky crafts whose manufacturers have no concept of how far apart the eyes of small children actually are. Maybe kids' eyes are closer together in China? Alice doesn't seem to mind much though.)
The obligatory petting of the goat ceremony at the pumpkin patch. This ceremony is followed by the ritual hand sanitizing activity. Goat cooties. Ew.
The picking of perfect pumpkins by my precious progeny at the patch.

We do the obligatory "enter the goat pen excited and then proceed to scream and run away whenever a goat looks at us." Those are my brave girls for ya.

Must be an Oregon thing. Looks like fun though.

Beware of those goats! Lydia and Mallorie and I were at the petting zoo part of the Historical Farm last Saturday to do the corn maze,and actually saw a little girl get rammed in the chest by a goat who had had enough.No-one could beleive it(and no-one did anything about it!I would have at least removed the goat from the enclosure). Anyway, that is our recent goat experience.P.S.(Grandma and Grandpa E.Christmas party will be on Monday the 22nd so Save that day. Love ya!

I appreciate your thoughtful alliteration about pumpkins and progeny. They look quite precocious perched on their pumpkiny pedastals. How precious! How perfect! How pleasantly autumnal.

We, too, have had a bad goat experience. Ours involved hair eating.
