This past weekend was so hot out it felt more like August than October. \u00a0It felt like we should be in the pool, not the pumpkin patch, but I am not complaining. \u00a0I love extending the summer wardrobe for as long as I can!<\/em><\/p>\n

We started the weekend early by going up to New Jersey for the day to visit Gigi and Papa Mac. \u00a0Justin couldn’t take off work, plus it would have been a very tight fit in the car with an additional person, so my parents and I took the girls. \u00a0Besides the difficulty the girls gave us getting into their carseats on the way home, they were very well behaved. \u00a0Avery and Emerson were talking up a storm, especially with Gigi. \u00a0Gigi had just come home from the rehab center a few days prior so we went to her house first and then went to visit Papa Mac afterwards at the rehab center. \u00a0Here is baby Harper meeting Gigi and Papa Mac for the first time.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Saturday morning we went up to good old Church Street in Vienna for Octoberfest. \u00a0We do what we do best at festivals and walked up the block past all the booths, but truly interested in none of them. \u00a0After a quick walk by past the food booths and the beer tent, we settled in the green area for some music and snacks.<\/em><\/p>\n

It was so hot and my mommy PA (Parental Assessment) was low as I forgot sunscreen and a hat for Harper so we didn’t stay too long. \u00a0Next stop was Chick Fila for lunch. \u00a0These girls especially Avery are apparently chicken nugget connoisseurs because Avery wouldn’t touch them just from the smell and Emerson barely ate two small ones. Wendy’s clearly is the chicken nugget of choice. \u00a0Anyway, after lunch we went to a pumpkin patch in Reston and despite the sweltering August like weather had a great time.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Sunday evening before dinner we walked up to Wolftrap playground where the girls and Justin and I had a great time playing. \u00a0I’m finally starting to get my energy back and it feels awesome. \u00a0I even moved up to pushing the double stroller and even ran some on the way home. \u00a0(I was selective about what streets I ran on because I didn’t want to many drivers passing bye to have to see so much jiggle jangle:)) This really is huge because I haven’t really done much down and dirty playing with the girls to date. \u00a0I got pregnant with Harper before the girls were really running around all that much outside and while I was pregnant I was only feeling good to keep up with them during the second trimester, so I finally feel like I am back! \u00a0Anyway, here are some pictures of the girls having a good time.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

And once again the weekend came to an end. \u00a0Fortunately this lucky mama has 4 more weeks at home before returning back to work!<\/em><\/p>\n
