Fall Fun Past and Soon!

Andy and Kenzee 2008

Time flies when you are having fun, that IS what they all say!  Well looking back at the last few years I can see all the fun this time of year has brought!

Now that it is October, it is time for us to do all the things we normally do this time of year, which means pumpkin picking, scarecrow making, carving, baking goodies, etc.

In this entry today I am going to include pictures from the past few years of these activities.  I love to look at them and see how the kids have changed and today it has inspired me to write about the fun!

I MADE this dress! 

It is becoming harder and harder to find downtime that doesn't mean I am sick and unable to work!  Why is it I feel awful all week when I could have been making SOME money, and now that the week is over I am feeling better but now it is a busy weekend!


Anyone who was worried about me I THANK YOU! From the bottom of my heart.  I myself was a little scared and am not exactly happy to hear my only issue right now is Anemia.  However at least I know that my fatigue and weakness has a reason other than my lack of sleep.  I DO need to sleep better but I also need to make an appointment with someone to have some tests done and get it maintained since it is chronic and I will probably never get rid of the issue.

Tonight we had a nice night though, we all ate dinner together and then the kids watched some cartoons and colored while dinner was cleaned up.  Then after that they took showers and Mckenzee came downstairs with me to watch Beauty and the Beast and Andrew watched Iron Man 2 with DJ.

They loved the movies so much that they had to bring them back to their rooms and wanted to put them in as their "nighttime" movies!  They even loved the cupcakes they each had and they drank ALL of the milk they were given (and it wasn't even chocolate)!

On another note I am enjoying this fall weather so far, and I am hoping that it stays just as gorgeous for tomorrow and Sunday as well.  This Sunday we are supposed to be going to get pumpkins with the kids!  We have been going for the last four years and I have taken pics of the kids every time and this year will be no different I am hoping to continue the tradition as long as I can, plus it is cool to see how they each change from year to year!




Check out these pics from the last few years:

I am hoping to have the great weather again so that I can get another great shot of the kids together!  I will surely be posting pictures on either Sunday night or Monday morning!  

Well I am off to bed now I have to keep three kids busy and out of trouble tomorrow!  Haley will be visiting for a bit and I am sure if the weather is good and I have plenty of crayons, ideas, and memory on my camera to catch a fun day! 

Later my faithful readers!

Autumn is Here!

 Today was not a bad day, the cool air, our fall clothes, and pumpkins!



The kids had fun at Hart's Greenhouse Fall Festival.  The each picked their own little mini pumpkins and played in an area all filled with hay!

 I spent some time going around looking at all the beautiful mums they had, my favorite had yellow centers with red around the edges!  Mckenzee liked the yellow ones and the purple ones that had a frequent winged friend visiting it!

 They also entered some pictures into a coloring contest and went through a spooky "haunted" tunnel!  They liked it so much they did it a second time!

They wanted to get BIG pumpkins but I told them they had to wait until next weekend when we go to the pumpkin patch to pick them with my mother and the rest of the clan!

 They went through a little hay maze, at first Andy went the wrong way, I think mostly because he wanted to crawl through the tunnel of hay but that was okay because everyone followed him and it was fun for them all!

They then enjoyed some apples picked at a local orchard and some freshly made ice cream made from cows that were just milked three days ago!

 They visited with some kittens from Kitty Harbor, Inc that were looking for homes.  Unfortunately we cannot get a kitten at this time but I told the kids that when they get a little bigger and we move THEN maybe we can get a kitten! I would love to have another little black and white kitten but I would also like a puppy and a few millions dollars to so I am just a dreamer!

 Once we were pretty much done we took some pictures with some funny cutouts.  I got each of the kids in all three of the cutouts, plus some of DJ in them as well!

Not a bad day so far what can I say.  Tonight the in-laws are out for the night and we are having some friends over to play some games and share some laughs.  Should be fun!

More later my faithfuls!

On a side note, this picture of Kenzee with the Buddha is probably my favorite of the day !
