Carving the Pumpkin

Wednesday, the kiddos and I went to the Pumpkin Patch and picked out a pumpkin...Isn't is a beauty!??!

Of course, we had to gather all the seeds for some yummy roasting!!!

Before the face could be carved, Glen had all the children draw the face they wanted...Then he took all their ideas and combined them to make the perfect face. They drew the blueprint on the pumpkin and began carving...

Great Job!!! Such a happy pumpkin!!!

The yummy seeds...Boy were they good!!!

Happy Harvest, All!!!

KC Pumpkin Patch

Wednesday, the kids and I went to the Pumpkin Patch for a morning of sun and fun. There is LOTS to do and children of all ages really enjoy the activities. The Lord really blessed us with gorgeous sunshine, a nice, cool, crisp fall day, and enegry to run and play.

Pumpkin Patch Fun

Mommy and Me

Hay Mazes, Slides, Playsets, and Farm Vehicles

Tire Swings and Jumping Pillows

The Pumpkin Patch has two barns on the property. One barn is a haunted house and the other has tire swings, a corn box (instead of a sand box), a digging pit and a slide. The kiddos has a good time playing in here for quite a while...




The Jumping Pillow was a hoot!!! We got there as soon as they opened and left just before lunch so we had the place pretty much to ourselves...The kiddos got to jump for a good 20-30 minutes before any other children came to join in the fun.

Trains and Things

Azaryah and Keziah rode the Pumpkin Express...

The kiddos had a blast running around the fields looking for the perfect pumpkin ;-)


Didn't take Corbyn long to find his pumpkin!!! I think it weighed about as much as he does!!! heehee

We had a wonderful time at the Pumpkin Patch ;-)

Corbyn's 1st Job

Yesterday, Glen arranged for Corbyn's 1st job!! Corbyn is responsible for clearing out all the leaves in our neighbor's yard, and it is a HUGE yard!! Of course, Glen was right by Corbyn's side, teaching him, training him and guiding him in how to do the job properly...Our kiddos are very blessed to have such a wonderful, loving, and involved father!!!

Fall Fun

This afternoon, the kids and I decided to surprise Daddy by cleaning up the leaves in the front and side yard...What started out as work quickly turned into play ;-)





We had a BLAST playing, jumping and scattering the leaves everywhere...When Daddy got home, he joined the fun...Before the evening was over, all the leaves were bagged up and taken away...Daddy was VERY grateful for all the help!!!

Even on Mondays, Azaryah and I get our naps...We snuggle up on the couch in the nursing room, read a book and then snooze for an hour and a half before I teach sign class...

The kiddos played a balloon game during the Fall Party...Boy was that a LOUD game!!! lol

Mrs. House and Mrs. Hanson kept the candy/snack time nice and orderly...

The kiddos all had a WONDERFUL time!!!
