"Oh girls, guess what? The devil called and said you guys were doing awesome."
Hilarious.
Moving on. Ok, so a lot has happened actually. Pictures have been taken and I need to share but truthfully I am rather cocooned in the warmth of having my family whole again, if only for 9 1/2 days. Larry is home and there is no doubt that he is a busy, busy bee. Fixing, and hanging, and patching, and washing, and EATING, and cooking and eating some more. No sleeping in over here, in case you were wondering. I am missing my stolen sleep, but love having him home. We have faithfully headed over to the Pumpkin Patch, only to tromp through sticky, smelly mud and hay with scents wafting through the crisp fall air that bear little resemblance to Fall and much closer to filthy animals on a hot summer day. Ick. Ick. Ick. We didn't stay long, though we did get our requisite photos. In an effort to sustain the children's excitement while guiding them to the car, we offered to carve pumpkins at home. It worked. Pizza and pumpkins and another little mess that had much better smells and results than could be found at the farm. Larry's carving device of choice was a bit more industrial. (see photo) The kids all reveled in scooping out "punkin poop", as Kierstin called it. Pizza was delivered and gobbled up and the night was complete. Rain has kept things pretty mushy around here, but we thoroughly enjoyed being home and warm and dry and together.
That is WAY funny, I am going to use that line at least once a week!
ReplyDeleteAnd we went to the pumpkin patch too, and it was not fun, not fun at all. CRAZY busy, and the bees were EVERYWHERE. We didn't stay long, and our photos weren't fun... but we went =)
Jason and Carson are carving a pumpkin tomorrow (hopefully). I've got cookies to decorate, and cupcakes, and a cute haunted house (gingerbread house) kit... buuuuuuuut.... Im on a new level of fertility drugs, and thus, unbearably tired... and its making me ill.... whoda thought trying to become a mom again makes me a bad mom to the first one, hahaha!
ok, Larry is cracking me up!!! And I am over the whole pumpkin patch thing- it is never fun, yea you "might" get a few good pics but its either windy, cold or wet and sometimes all 3. We always have someone that has a melt down and Bo in the back ground saying-"we are not buying any!!" Which of course we always do!! Oh well, we will always go!! It did help that Olivia got money out of her piggy bank so Bo couldn't really tell her no! And Billy is so dang cute, who tells him no?!?!
