Pumpkin Picking

We had a great day yesterday. I forget how pretty it is where I live. Out east with the farm stands and the more country atmosphere. The leaves are starting to change. We had nice weather. (Unlike last year where we FROZE!!!)

We left early and avoided a lot of traffic. Went to one place that H scoped out online. They had a corn maze, hayrides, and pumpkin picking. The corn maze was so much fun. K really enjoyed it. It was a Lord of the Rings theme. Here are some pics:

It was a great day followed by a quaint lunch and then back home to relax. I love family days!

Back from my Trip

Well got back from my trip on Friday night. It went quick the three days but I sure did miss my family. Today was the Homecoming Parade for the local High School. K's school marched in it so K and I did too. She informed me that it wasn't fun because her legs hurt! Luckily H met us with about a 1/4 of the march left and walked with K on his shoulders. Got to speak to K's teacher a little more. The more I talk to her, the more and more I truly like her. She told me that K was sad that I was gone but they were counting down the days until I returned. Very cute.

Tonight was Bingo night at my BFF Mrs. D's house. What fun we had. K & J played in the basement with a few other kids while the Mommy's played Bingo. We laughed, ate, and played. Kendyl passed out in the car ride home.

Tomorrow we're going Pumpkin Picking. A nice little family outing. Can't wait. Hopefully early start and then we can relax in the afternoon.

Fire Safety

Well this month is Fire Safety Month at K's school. Our local Fire Department is having a contest for the best Fire Safety Posters. We are very proud of K's poster that she did tonight. Take a look:



The thing on top that kind of looks like a red bird is really a fire extinguisher. And the BEEP BEEP is a fire alarm. I love the hose she put on the back of the truck, totally her idea.
