Last week Avery's school had a field trip to the McGarrah Farm's Pumpkin Patch. It was so great! It was way out, down a dirt road and there were fields of pumpkins as far as you could see. The boys were so excited to pick out their pumpkins.
Mr. McGarrah was wonderful with the kids. The first thing they did was have an educational talk about pumpkins. He showed them the vine that they grow on. He explained how they grow, when they plant, and showed the kids the different varieties of pumpkins. It was so neat!
Next, he took us on a hayride. It was my kind of hayride...totally enclosed. I am always a nervous nelly about hayrides...so this made me happy. :) The boys loved it. They spent the entire time looking out. They had different fall/halloween things hanging from the trees along the way. The boys had fun pointing them out and shrieking at each one.
After the hayride they each got to pick out a pumpkin. We got 2 small ones for them to paint and one large one for us to carve as a family. I pulled them in this little wagon back over to where we had the educational talk to eat their lunches we brought.
I thought they were so cute, sitting up their eating their lunch.
It was a great fall day!

cutie patootie boys
We just got a new camera...well 2 Blonde Boys just got a new camera (read= business expense). . . .which will be used extensively to take pictures of said 2 blonde boys.
Anyhow, we took the boys outside last night to try it out. It was fun and it was so easy to get great shots! I know I'm partial, but I think these are some handsome boys. :)

Holy Pajamas, Batman!
Now that it's getting cooler (yay!) we've brought out the long sleeved jammies. The boys were very excited about them. As is typical in our house, the boys were doing superhero poses. Here are our boys at their finest. . .

October = Running Around Like a Chicken with my Head Cut Off
I've been a bad bad blogger. October is a crazy busy month for me. It always is, but this year even more so. I have 4 family birthdays (including my sweet husband, next week), JBU homecoming, company 2 weekends, craft fair, and fall festival. Also, I'm having a baby in 6 weeks. Also, I'm homeschooling Avery 3 days a week. I feel like if I can just get through October, then I can breathe! Don't get me wrong, I enjoy all of these things, it's just a lot on my plate right now!
Anyhow, I just want to post of quick picture of my sweet boys. AJ's dad took this a couple of weekends ago when they were in town.
Have I ever told you how in love I am with these boys?

I've been tagged by Erin so here goes....
1. I LOVE being outside. I always dreamed of living on a farm growing up.
2. I have to have a pitcher of sweet tea in my fridge at all times. I try to limit myself to two glasses a day.
3. I hate putting on makeup.
4. I cannot sleep without at least a sheet on at all times...no matter how hot I am. I'm usually covered up to my chin....b/c the boogie man can't get you when you have covers on.
5. I only like shopping in small doses.
6. My favorite food is a nice, ripe avacado.
7. I am most happy when I'm with my husband.
There you have it. Now I'm tagging, Jenny, Ruth Lee, Jackie, Ashley, Megan well I can't think of anyone else that hasn't already been tagged. sorry.
