The Best Fall Weekend!

Like I said before, Summer may now be officially over but the fun isn't! This past weekend was the first weekend of the new season and me and the kid welcomed it by going to Larriland Farm. We went on an educational hayride,  then through a haunted barn and a hay maze. After taking a break from the fun for refreshments (fresh apple fritters and fresh apple cider) we went over to the fields to pick apples, broccoli and raspberries. It was such a beautiful day out that we stayed at the farm for over 3 hours, then it was off to one of our favorite restaurants (Bahama Breeze) for a wonderful lunch of seafood chowder, lobster and shrimp quesadillas, fresh mango smoothies and shrimp pasta. It was a wonderful Saturday!
  Sunday of course was football day! We went to the Ravens game (and won!) early in the afternoon and the evening was spent getting prepared for another great school/work week. I'm looking forward to many more fun Fall festivities! I'll post pics later!

Afterschool Movie Party!

Afterschool Movie Party

Yes Summer may be coming to an end...but the party doesn't stop! On friday after school we hosted an "afterschool movie" for the kid and some of his friends. Of course four friends quickly turned into about 8 friends, but the shindig was a success! After having the kids check in at home and do any homework they had the kids in the neighborhood came over for snacks, swag bags and The Karate Kid. I'd gone to the dollar store earlier and stocked up on movie sized boxes of candy, crazy straws, some fun pencils and erasers and capri suns. I put the treats into decorated party bags and handed them out as the kids came in. I also made 2 big bowls of microwave popcorn (one extra butter, one kettle corn)and snack plates for them to enjoy while watching the movie. The snack plates had chips, dip, fresh fruit, crackers and cheese. The kids had a great time and when the movie was over...so was the party! (I'll post pics later)

Farewell To Summer...

I know that it's not officially Fall yet, but I'm already feeling the freshness of the new season in the air. Although this summer has been wonderful, I just can't wait to settle into the comfort of Fall. I'm anticipating all the Fall activities like the Fall Frolics, Harvest parties and of course Halloween and FOOTBALL! I'm also looking forward to cooler temperatures, pumpkin spice lattes and the changing of the leaves. Summer was great but it's now time to say farewell and welcome my new favorite season. Happy Fall everyone! (don't forget about my other blogs Keeping Up With Mo...and Company and The Pink Ink)--view them by clicking on my profile.
