October

I must admit Halloween is for sure my favorite holiday, even more than Christmas. My kids might like it as much too, so they were DYING to hit up the Pumpkin Patch. They were so fired up for all of the festivities and I was just fired up for the many many huge pumpkins.

 I think Tim was getting embarrassed that I kept taking pictures of just the pumpkins but I couldn't help myself.

 This is Ivy's face every time you ask her to say cheese for the picture. It kills me.

 And I took a picture of her hair, it's getting just as ridiculous as Minnie's clown wig used to be, maybe even worse!

 Let's be honest, the 3 cutest kids ever...:)

 Andy is not kidding here, he was thinking about which pumpkin to get. He does this face when he is thinking and says, "hmmm, hmmm" to himself. I caught the perfect picture of it. He could quite possibly be the most indecisive kid of all time. Taking him to the dollar store to pick out one toy is AT LEAST a 30 minute ordeal.

 Minnie getting a butterfly painted on her face...which lasted a whole 12 minutes.

 Ivy got a heart...she looks kinda ticked here.

 Petting Zoo...and a gallon of hand sanitizer at the entrance. Some lady seriously asked me what the sheep was...."I said a sheep," then she asked me what the goat was too...oh boy. She wasn't kidding either.

 Holding the bunnies...

 This is the kids new favorite thing to do with Tim...FISHING! I don't go because I'm bad luck, and it makes me CRAZY chasing Ivy so she doesn't fall in the water. So we stay home. But the kids LOVE it. And it's like 3 minutes away. They mostly catch tiny pin fish but they have caught a few others. Andy can even do it by himself.

 Andy was feeding the fish that didn't quite make it (see bucket below) to this bird. It's kind of cool to watch them eat it whole.

 Not a bad little catch. Seriously the only time they didn't catch anything is when I came, and we even tried 2 separate times that day with zero to show for it.

 This is where they go, it's called Boggy Bayou...we love it there.

 More October fun to come, we are taking our last trip to Disney World this weekend and camping...yikes. Hopefully we survive.

Old Pictures

We have now hit the one year mark for Minnie wearing glasses. She got them last October when she was 2. I took her to the doctor last month and her new prescription has improved each eye to 20/30 which was way better than the 20/60 they were. I was looking back and I have only one picture where you can see her lazy eye when it was starting to manifest itself. So glad we caught it and she is good to go now.
