Blueberry Bliss

Remember these??


Well, we ended up freezing most of our berries from our summer blueberry picking adventure. Yesterday, Sienna and I decided to bake some yummy blueberry muffins. We have been baking/cooking something each day together. She loves helping her Mama make food for our little family.  

It was the first time I baked blueberry muffins from scratch. I even made a crumb topping for them! They were quite easy and fun to make.



Sienna also painted this picture of a pumpkin to add to our seasonal craft wall. 
(Photos to come!)


And Forest is now mobile ... sort of. Yesterday, he started rolling (from tummy to back to tummy, etc.) to get around the room. Sienna was also a roller and not much of a crawler. We'll have to wait and see what Forest's preference will be!

Hello, Autumn!

Well, hello to you and hello to a new season!

Since the first day of Autumn, we've been quite busy packing, moving and now unpacking in our new home. This weekend we had a chance to slow down a bit and visit a few farms on the Skagit Valley Festival of Family Farms. Our favorite definitely has to be Gordon Skagit Farms. This is the third year we've visited this farm and we will definitely keep going back. The farm displays are so beautiful, as you can see in the photos from our day. 

A perfect pumpkin.

And our perfect pumpkin' girl.

Mama really loved this little shed with the brooms.

In the spooky haunted barn, there were three displays with skeletons. Above the displays were these three signs ...






... very spooky!
