Priceless Pumpkin Patch Photos

Lennie, Jenny and I took the kids to the pumpkin patch this year (on Rocky River Road at some farm I can't think of the name of now) Here's a group shot by the barn!

We went a little late this year and the pickings were pretty slim...but we found a couple anyway!

Rockin' It Out With Go Fish!

We took a HUGE group of kids, parents and other groupies to see the Go Fish guys!

Jude rocked it out until he was rocked out...LOL...

Elijah was in my charge that day as well....luckily he was returned to mom and dad safe and sound :)

What a Crew I Have....

Can you see little personalities here or what?!?!?!?

Dressin' Up at Nannie's

Don't you just love dress up clothes?? Well the girls do...Karcen and Haila are sporting some of the finest in dress up attire from fancy hats to ballerina outfits and butterfly wings....Not just anybody can carry off these looks....Enjoy!

October Day at the Park

Gotta love those days when the temperatures are just right in NC...short sleeves and long pants....would love it year round!

These pictures of Peyton were taken BEFORE he decide to let go of the monkey bars, bust his mouth open and have blood EVERYWHERE! For those of you that know Peyton well...the blood was bad enough to freak him completely OUT...you'd have thought I was killing him in the bathroom trying to clean him up...I didn't photograph the incident...trust me....it was bad.

A Boy and His Blocks on My Blog

Tanner loves having me all to himself and he also loves block building, or is it the tub...either way...he's having fun!

The new exhibit is about "hatching babies" and the kids are looking at baby chicks just hatched
