Snot & Greenbluff

It's that WONDERFUL time of year again.  The leaves begin to show their beauty by changing colors, kids are bundling up to play outside, there's a thin layer of frost on the ground each morning and the kids have colds, again!  YUCK!  Though Howard seems to be on the mend, Hazel is right smack in the middle of her cold and completely miserable. 

I would like to pretend that I love fall, after all I normally look forward to this beautiful time of year.  However, we had almost no spring and a too-short summer!  I am ready for a few more 100 degree + days before we go cold.  PLEASE!?

One of my mommy friends had to work today and we were graced with Jacob at our house.  Jacob and Howard have been friends before they knew what friends were.  Brian met Jacob's dad in college, before either were married.  We have become great friends with their family and Howard and Jacob love to play together.  They are even in the same kindergarten class, which we love! 

Today we made plans to take Jacob with us to Greenbluff to visit the pumpkin patch with another one of their kindergarten classmates, Luci and her mom and baby brother.  We know Luci's mom from karate (she's the instructor).  The 3 older kids played so well together while Hazel and Zach (Luci's baby brother) stared at each other and put things that didn't belong in their mouth, in their mouth.  What a perfect day to play and pick pumpkins.  Enjoy the pictures!
