Pumpkins, Patches, and All About the Brown…

IMG_6059 So our crop of garden fresh pumpkins did not yield quite as many as we had hoped for (2 years ago we harvested 18 beauties!!); Kylie was still pleased with this one (of three) mighty, mighty pumpkin…

IMG_6067For some reason, pumpkin patches and pre-schoolers  are such a fabulous fall combination…

IMG_6080Hay bale mazes, corn stalks, pumpkins, and mom (who unwisely opted for capri’s on that CHILLY fall morning, bad call)—it’s so good to be 4 (and warm)…

IMG_6095Cael loves to spend his afternoons concocting various concoctions, and now I know why my special Pampered Chef wisk is just not quite especially right anymore…

IMG_6096The lighting  most certainly leaves something to be desired, but this is the fruit of my labor, not to be confused with loom—this week was our annual Visiting Teaching Conference at Church, and all of our Visiting Teachers got autumnal treats and a little bag of snazzy tacks because they are fanTACKstic!  Yes, they got tacks--that’s what I could come up with and I hope they all have some cork somewhere… 

IMG_6104We went to visit Paul’s cute Gramma Elaine, the #89 birthday girl…

Much to our dismay, the kids noticed on the way out that Gramma Elaine’s decorative yard porcupines have seen better days!  Christmas is coming, however, and hmm, now where would one find something in the way of replacement decorative/ festive porcupines…

IMG_6106Today was new haircut day for the mother of the bunch!  My cute friend, Krista, is a master with the scissors and of the blowdryer/round-brush combo.  I, however, have zero in the way of round-brushing skills, so my girls have to soak in the smoothness of my hair for this one day,  at least until I do get my hair cut again, and then I will have another “smooth hair” day.  When we arrived at the appointed hour, I asked Cael what kind of haircut he thought I should get—he said “brown.”   Excellent call…

You clever gal, those are fanTackstic indeed. Lucky ladies in your ward. I love Miss. Kylie's skirt. Looks like Disney was a hit yet again. We are going to make it there one day =)
