Jem's Field trip!

Jem had his first field trip last week to a pumpkin farm. I was able to go with him and really enjoyed it. It was nice to spend time with him. I am amazed how much he has grown up in the last 6 months. We learned about the importance of bees in fertilizing pumpkins, went on a tractor ride, saw farm animals, and went through a corn maze. The kids also got to milk a fake cow and each pick out a pumpkin. The even had a nice play area for the kids to play after they ate lunch. It was also nice to have good weather. The whole week before it rained and was cold. But we had high 60 degree weather and lots of sunshine.

Decorating for Halloween!

Last weekend we bought Halloween decorations and decorated the front of our house. It was a lot of fun, especially doing it together as a family. We also had great weather to do it in. My favorite Halloween decoration is fake spiderwebs. I like how it looks on the window shutters.




Last week we also had fun raking up leaves and playing in them. I haven't done that since I was a little kid.

Fall 2009!

We had a great Fall. My mom came and visited for a couple of weeks. She helped me make a sand box and flower area in front to plant flowers. We were also able to do some sightseeing in Nashville together. I was glad she came. The kids loved seeing her. She is a very cool Grandma in their eyes.








We sure had a lot of leaves to rake by the time all of our trees lost their leaves. We did have some fun, though.
