About 3 weeks ago, we went on a Sunday drive with our friends, the Beardall's. We drove east to the Bonneville dam and this place called the Vista house. It was beautiful!

I love fall
Today we went to the Harvest Festival at Willamette Valley Fruit/Pie Company in Salem, OR. We had such a fun time! I loved that place. There were a lot of activities for the kids to do, and they had a great time.
They had a factory where people were making all the pies. We took a couple home. Of course.
The corn pit
Yeah, that's probably not the cleanest place to lay down. She's still alive though, so that's good news.
Paige did the zip line
"Which one should I pick?"
Halle looks so grown up in these pictures. I can't believe she's almost 18 months old!
After we got our pumpkins, we ate chicken pot pie and chili (the only actual meals they serve) and then this super tasty dessert...
It was vanilla ice cream, layered with their Mixed Berry Pie. YUM!
Such a cute place to visit!
A little decorating
So, I have to admit... I don't like renting. There. I said it. Yes, it is definitely nice not having to fix the big things that go wrong around the house, or having to pay for upkeep. But I just don't feel at home in our house. I know it's just something I need to "get over," but it's hard to feel unsettled and like everything is temporary. I'm not very motivated to organize my home, or to decorate it. But I finally did some decorating in our living room, and added some fall stuff around the house.
I should do a post where I show you our bedrooms. They are all just kind of sad, empty rooms. I know there is more to life than having a nicely decorated home, but when you spend about 22 hours a day in your home, you want it to look cozy and inviting. Right?
I can't wait to own a home again and to feel more settled. I am impatiently waiting for that day.
This is Paige, mid-tantrum.
