Pumpkins"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>Chris and I try our best to take off on Mondays(since we both work weekends) and spend time with each other and our families.\u00a0 It&#8217;s very hard to separate work from home when you have a home office or your phone is blinking at 10pm with a new email message.\u00a0 So we take off.\u00a0 No work.\u00a0 Just us and some hopefully fun thing to do:)\u00a0 This past Monday we went apple and pumpkin picking with Chris&#8217; dad, his wife and Madison.\u00a0 I think it was a success despite there not being too many apples actually on the trees!\u00a0 None the less we had a fun time.\u00a0 I brought my camera along for the day and documented some of our afternoon.<\/p>\n<p>Next up carving that pumpkin!\u00a0 I think it&#8217;s a bit too early yet.\u00a0 I did buy Halloween candy since it was on sale, the big 75 piece bag at the A&amp;P.\u00a0 I think maybe 32 pieces are left.\u00a0 Not a smart idea to buy the candy over a month early.\u00a0 Yum!\u00a0 But who can resist Kit-Kats and Reeces Peanut Butter Cups?<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full
