The Pumpkin Patch





We love the Pumpkin Patch.  We went to McDonald's Farm a few weeks ago.  It was a beautiful day.  As you can see we all had fun.  The girls were so excited to get home and carve their pumpkins.  We made them wait until a few days ago.

Weight Limit?

 How many grandkids can Grandpa fit on the 4 Wheeler?  All of them!  (Except for Little Lydia)  Yes, that is right he had all 6 kids on the 4 wheeler for a ride.  Makenna got the best seat - right up front, Grandpa, Cami, Addi, Gracie, Ayla and Ezra.  Oh and don't forget Leeza the dog in the front basket :0)

Serious Talks

Makenna has been talking about driving lately.  I mean about getting her driver's license.  So I thought I better just nip this in the bud and tell her she won't be driving because her vision is so poor.  Well in the midst of my explanation about eyesight and needing to see when driving (I am anticipating tears and lots of questions.)  Makenna pipes in with "Who is going to take me to see you when you are dead?"  Really?!  That is the pressing question?  So we talked about all the people that love her and will be able to drive her around when I am old and gone.  That girl's mind keeps me hopping.

Cami is really interested in directions and watching where we are going.  So one morning on our way to Rhonda's house (our babysitter) I take a different turn. Cami notices that we are going the way we go when we get groceries and things.
Cami, "Where are we going mom?  Are you getting gas?
Mom, "Not this morning Cami we got gas yesterday."
Cami, "Are we going shopping?"
Mom, "No, Cami we are stopping at the bank to get some money."
Cami, "Why do you need money?"
Mom, "I need to pay Rhonda."
Cami, "Why Mommy, Rhonda doesn't have any money?"
