Jack-o-lantern

 In October Andrew lost one of his top front teeth. He was so excited, I was up on his bed one night for at least 30 min. wiggling and pulling on the tooth. Andrew managed to yank it out that night. He was super excited.
 I joked with him that we has turning into a jack-o-lantern with so many missing teeth.
 A rare moment to see Will still and looking at a book. Such a sweet moment.
 Andrew wanted a picture of Will wearing his camp hat. Ok!

We were at Walmart one day and the kids wanted to buy a pumpkin. I forgot that when we go to the pumpkin patch we come home with 4 pumpkins. So we bought this giant one a Walmart and then 2 days latter went to the pumpkin patch and came home with 4 more! We ended up only carving the big massive pumpkin.
 All 3 kids were eager to help at first.

We were surprised that there weren’t an extra large amount of seeds in our huge pumpkin.
In the end Will was the kid who stayed with me and helped me carve the whole pumpkin. The others lost interest and went to go play.

Pumpkin Patch 2015

We loaded up the van one Saturday morning and headed to the pumpkin patch. The kids had so much fun.
 They are too excited to take a picture at the front gate.

 This was our second time to go to this pumpkin patch.


 My little pumpkins had fun and remembered all of the games and fun stuff from last year.

 Riding the "train"
 Anytime it is remotely loud Will covers his ears. He had fun on the train but kept his ears covered most of the time.
 So many pumpkins to pick! Will had to pick up several to find the perfect one.






 Andrew enjoyed the pony ride again this year.
 Lily was so brave. She rode the pony! Last year she would not ride the pony or get near a single animal. She rode the pony and petted some goats!
 This guy had a blast and was not scared.


 When she smiles I can’t stop taking her picture!
Fun times, we ate lunch and then mom and dad came home and took naps we were tired!

Acorn Hunting

Tuesday mornings are sweet mornings that Will and I get to play just the 2 of us. He is so different, calmer and more obedient when it is just the 2 of us. One morning we went on a bike ride and Will would stop and stuff his pockets full of acorns. We ended up acorn hunting. He thought this was the coolest thing ever and we sent pictures to Bobby to show him the treasure Will had found.
Acorns= treasure
Will was so proud and showed off his treasure so well that Andrew and Lily wanted to go acorn hunting too. Latter that night after dinner we went hunting and the fun hunting game turned into a big competition! Oh well
