Dollhouse Fun (even for boys!)

I have been telling the boys for a long time that I would get out my old dollhouse and let them see it. Last night I found it all and set it up for them. Matt was gone last night and the boys were in bed so I was all alone and set up the house and took out all of the furniture. It brought back so many memories! I haven't taken it out of the box in almost 20 years (I think I let Lindsey play with it a little bit when she was little. Don't think I was playing with it when I was 15!) This was probably my most favorite childhood toy and it was fun to share it with Ethan and Seth. Seth kept calling it a "girl house".
They thought it was the neatest thing. Ethan loves things that are to scale and have a lot of detail so he thought this was great. Seth was very interested in the dog and three cats that are in the house which didn't surprise me.
They wanted me to take a picture and show all of the furniture and rooms.

The Pumpkin Patch!

The Sunny Side Pumpkin Patch is about 15 minutes south of Salina and we love to go there, especially on a beautiful fall day. It was a little windy but not to bad. This is Matt and Seth on the hayrack ride.
There is a hayrack ride pulled by horses that goes around the pumpkin patch. The sun was right in their eyes but they tried to smile.
Ethan loved the tire horse swings.
Obviously Matt is giving Seth a little help. He still doesn't even weigh 30 lbs.
They had a few holes of mini golf and Ethan really got into it.


Seth was always a little nervous when Ethan was pulling the wagon.

They had big tubs of corn with tractors and toys in them that they could play with. Seth loved it. He was trying to bury himself.
