The White House

BQ (before Quinn) Don and I used to stretch out our birthdays so that we celebrated the whole week.  I\’m happy to report that I think birthday week may have returned for my birthday.  You might remember that Quinn requested a hammer cake for Don\’s birthday.  Lucky for Don, Quinn requested a rollercoaster cake for my birthday.  Since Sunday was probably the only day Don would have time to create such a creation, we had rollercoaster cake on Sunday.  Let the birthday week begin!

Behold his masterpiece!  He made me a spice cake with homemade vanilla cream cheese frosting.  I think he did a pretty great job!

It definitely passed the Quinn test.

We continued with birthday week last night when Don took Quinn to bed so I could get a little alone time.   I\’m enjoying birthday week thanks to a really considerate and thoughtful husband.

We went back to one of our favorite farms, Terhune Orchards, for their Fall Harvest Festival.  There was so much to do and we had such a fun time.  It has been rainy here so the farm was pretty wet and a bit muddy. About two minutes after we arrived Quinn looked like this.  But the fun!

The highlight of the day, so much that we repeated it later.

I spotted this huge monarch butterfly at the end of our tractor ride.  Gorgeous!

The stationary tractors are always a big hit with Quinn.  He likes to pour \”gas\” (aka pebbles) in to the gas tank.

Quinn took his vitamins and they made him able to jump really high!
