Pumpkin Patch

One Saturday in October, a bunch of us from church met at The Great Pumpkin Patch. Also, my cousins Nolan and Brianna were there the same day. Nolan stayed with Jared and I and Brianna was there with her softball team. We also had Xander and Hannah with us. Jared and I had a good laugh at Hannah's expense, I won't tell it on the world wide web, but just know it was too funny and even grossed Xander out! After the Pumpkin Patch, my cousin Dawn invited us to eat with Brianna's ball team at Stuart's parent's house where he was grilling. On the way there, Hannah had to "go" real bad, and bless her heart she had held it a long time already, and tried awfully hard to hold it til we got there, but finally blurted out that, "Sometimes my daddy lets me pee in the grass!" Let me just say that Josh does NOT go around letting Hannah pee outdoors! At any rate, we pulled the car over (she was moaning and trying real hard to hold it) at a woodsy area, stripped Hannah's bottoms off and let her pee in the grass! Nolan and Jared covered their eyes as we all were laughing hysterically! By the way, pam and Xander were in the other car and pulled over with us, Pam took pictures, but from a distance so Hannah is not indecently exposed! We had such a good time with all the kids!

October Fun!

It's A Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown...

Jennifer had the great idea of getting the little kids at church together for some Halloween fun! We met after morning worship for lunch at the church building. Mama made pizza crusts of all sizes so the kids could make their very own pizzas. We played games, ate, listened to Halloween music, had Halloween storytime, and watched, It's A Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown. I had so much fun getting ready for this event! The kids wore me out, though! Xander came home with us so his family could be at the hospital (his mom had just been admitted the night before, stayed in ICU for over 3 weeks, and later passed away. Please pray for our friends, the Hosmers, Mrs. Linda was a good friend!)We always have a good time when Xander comes over, and have since deemed Sunday afternoons as Wii time (our Little man is addicted to video games :) Xander helped me decorate for Halloween and I had the best time with him! I love experiencing things through his eyes! He put Halloween cutouts all over our pantry door and dishwasher. Jared said I needed to take it down because it looked tacky, but I didn't want to cause I loved the way he displayed it all...it had a story behind it! The ghost was hidden behind the dishtowel, so "when Jared dries his hands, he'll scream 'Ahhh! A ghost'" The whole setup was cute, so Jared relented and left it up til Halloween!

Notice the Halloween decor!


Bathtime fun with Xander...
Another weekend Xander spent the night with us. I gave him a mohawk while he was taking a bath and he thought he was "So cool!" and yelled "Rock on!"
