Apple Orchard {2016}

A few weeks ago we headed up to Massanutten for our annual tradition of a long weekend in the mountains to go apple picking and enjoy some fun fall sights and smells! Like I said last year when I wrote about this trip - it's something I look forward to every year!

We left Friday morning and if you follow me on Instagram you might have seen my sappy post about being in the throws of parenting a toddler, because its hard sometimes. I know I just have one so I have a lot of learning to do, but still... I sometimes feel overwhelmed with the challenges and its moments like this sweet, pink, fuzzy bag full of all of the toys Reaghan sweetly helped me pick out for the trip that give me all the warm and fuzzies in my heart and give me the breath of fresh air to keep pressing on through the tantrums.

We followed the same routine we did last year with a stop at the Short Pump mall for lunch and to let the girls have a chance to stretch their legs. Buuut I didn't take any pictures this year of the girls playing or riding on that cute little train.

We didn't get to go to the craft fair that we went to the last couple of years. Its usually held the first weekend in October but we've been going up over Columbus Day which falls the next week. Last year we got lucky because the first weekend got rained out and it got postponed but not so much this year. It actually rained all day on Saturday so we didn't get to go to the other craft fair on the Massanutten resort either. Boo.

Here we are (semi) ready for our day!
The rain and fog made it hard to see the pretty, fall mountains behind us.

Gender Reveal Party


It's also been almost a month since we found out what baby Poindexter #2 is!
We didn't do a gender reveal party for Reaghan but my mother and sister-in-law really wanted to throw us one this time around and I'm so glad they did! It was a fun afternoon with family and they really went above and beyond making the cutest decorations!

Reaghan's Curious George Birthday Party

Reaghan's 2nd Birthday party happened just about a month ago and I won't bore you with the reasons for why I'm just now posting it. At least I got her actual birthday post up around her actual birthday.

We like to decorate for birthdays and I always say I'm going to keep it simple and then I get on pinterest and womp womp... I end up doing way more than I planned. But it is fun and it makes for a cute party. We gave Reag the choice of an Elmo birthday or a Curious George birthday (her two favorites!) aaaaand she was torn so I chose for her because I definitely love Curious George more than Elmo haha. Honestly though, it sort of backfired on me because every store known to man sells Sesame Street birthday decor and zero stores carry Curious George. I had to buy off Amazon and hand make my own signs. BUT I lucked out and found someone selling Curious George party items on a Facebook Yardsale site. Cha-ching! I got table toppers and hanging signs for $8! :) Go me!
