MORE FALL FUN!!

Okay, so as many of you know (which is funny, because only 1 person follows my blog!!-well at least I can pretend!) my camera is on it's sick bed. :(.....It's actually the lenses that are broken, but needless to say, I feel like my children's lives are slipping away unphotographed. Thank the Lord I have friends who are just as photo crazy as I am, so I am still getting some good shots! The ones I added earlier today were "stolen" from my dear friend Shandra (who also provided the camera for the haircut incident!). My friend Melissa also took some Pumpkin patch pictures, and I wanted to share them as well. So, here's a few more from our fun day at the Farm...



Choosing our pumkins wa interesting! Sophie would have nothing to do with ANY of the fun, so Ruthie picked one for her, which I am holding since Sophie wouldn't touch it. And then it took Ruthie FOREVER to choose hers, but that's okay...it seemed to be going that way with all of the girls!

FALL DAYS!!

Happy Fall! Happy Pumkin time!!! I LOVE the fall, October is one of my FAVORITE months! It is the month I got married, and I just celebrated my five year anniversary with my husband. It's also my Husbands birthday month-he will be 28 tomorrow! It is also the time of year that I take my kids to the local farms, the pumkin patch, and most of all.....the time of year that we GO CRAZY at my house making cool fall crafts, yummy fall treats and of course....Pumkin Chocolate Chip muffins! YUM!!

Our first Fall trip of 2008 was yesterday-We went to a local Pumkin Patch. It was so much fun!! We saw all kind of animals, went on a hayride, and got to pick out a mini pumkin to bring home. We went with a group from our church and the girls had a GREAT time....and so did I!



Mommy and Sophie on the hayride...this is pretty much what Sophie did the whole day....well, she occasionally got down....when I made her! :)
Ruthie Playing in the Hay!!

Sophie trting to climb IN with the pigs!! One thing my children do NOT have is FEAR!

Waiting to go in the Corn maze...The little kids were FAR more interested in stomping on ants!

Ruthie and her Good Buddy, Kyle, finding their way through the Corn maze....and Sophie tagging along, too!


The Whole Gang...except Sophie, who was clinging to Mommy!


More Fall pictures and stories to come!! This is my FAVORITE time of year!!
