Fall is here!











Alas, fall is in the air. The sun is out, the clouds are gone and that brisk wind is blowing lightly, but man is it COLD... Brrrr! What a perfect day to go out to the pumpkin patch.




Nana came with us to pick out our pumpkins, climb the hay pyramid, ride some small tractors... and some not so small tractors. We ground corn feed and fed chickens, had apple cider and wheelbarrowed our pumpkins; although we only had 3 pumpkin tickets, our wheelbarrow had a fourth? Hmmm... but it's a cute fourth pumpkin, (slightly more maintanence than the other tree)but i'll take it! I really thought Cooper would be more interested in the farm animals and hay maze... but those danged tractors just sucked him in!




Chase was an angel, just chillin' in his teddy bear outfit, soakin' up the sun! It was a bright sunny day and lots of fun was had by all. You'll soon be seeing the teddy bear outfit again, as it is Chase's halloween costume- gotta get some good use out of it! Besides, he looks so cuddly and squeezable in it, precisely the way a teddy bear should look.




Hope you're having a wonderful fall so far- til' next time!

Black eyed blues-




Sadly, I have to post Cooper's double black eye day... the first one was him tripping on the carpet upstairs and hitting the play chair in Chase's room. Then that afternoon, we went to the dog park with friends, and an overly friendly lil' boxer jumped on him and caught his other eye with his paw/claw.


I swear, there are witnesses... I don't beat my poor lil' child! The pictures make it look like I'm making a mountain out of a mole hill... (which I probably am, I'm allowed though, I'm the mama...) But his eyes don't normally swell downward like they are in the pics... sigh!


Til' next time, hope you're day is better than Cooper's.


CHEERS-
