It's Autumn time...

I started on this post a couple of weeks ago and didn't get too far. I know I just need to get

something up. Fall has been busy for us. Max had his birthday party. It was Halloween themed and the kids had a ball. We had a crazy full house. About 15 boys came. The boys had such a good time. Their favorite game was the mummy wrap. The kids loved playing and throwing the t.p. around once the game was over.



Our annual pumpkin patch outing. The kids love picking their pumpkins right off the vine. The patch also has a hay maze, farm animals and a hay ride.



I caught my kids one day out front raking leaves. They said they were trying to make a leaf pile to play in like Grandma and Grandpa Rowe's. Look at the small pile they were able to rake from our two small trees. I had to laugh when I saw Max raking leaves in the tree. It reminded me of a blond joke my brother Spencer once told me.

How did the blond get hurt raking leaves?.....She fell out of the tree. NO offense to blonde's (I've been one before) just a funny joke.

I was in charge of making fall centerpieces for our teachers dinner at Parent teacher conferences. I had seen this idea before but didn't know how it would turn out. I put an assortment of mums inside a carved pumpkin. I was pleased with the final product.

So I checked this post when we were on the phone and forgot I had your lobg still on. So when you look at sitemeter and it says I was on for an hour, know that I wasn't stalking y'all for an hour!! Anyway, I know I said this before but I do love how the centerpieces turned out. They looked great!!!! Love the kids raking the leaves, and Max's cute bday cake. Good luck with your very busy week ahead. I'm ready to help with whatever if you need me.
