All I can say is WOW! I had no idea my kids could have so much fun at a dairy farm! We spent the day at the South Mountain Creamery’s Fall Festival. After a few hours there, KitKat turned to me and said, “I thought that this would be a lot more boring than it…

No school today! Let’s enjoy the Fall!
The kids and I went out to Mountainside with a bunch of school groups to enjoy lots of Fall activities. Reese was the only one to take advantage of the face painting…. We walked down this path a lot on our way to the popcorn and apple cider. Yum! Everything was particularly beautiful today! We…
I feel loved
It’s my birthday. :) I thought about loading a baby picture of myself. I took a picture of the paper chains that the kids hung to decorate the family room. I also took a picture of the disastrous mess that the kitchen was in after Noodle made breakfast in bed for me (pancakes that spelled…
What I’m doing with my hobby….
Because a few of you have asked….. I have submitted a few of my photos to some photo contests on a great site called photrade. Granted, I have such a small chance of winning, because there are so many amazing photographers around. But it is fun to get some feedback and maybe a little recognition….
Aren’t you jealous of our weather?
While our friends and family are playing in the snow, we had to pull our shorts and t-shirts back out for this beautiful Fall weather. This morning, Apple and I took a walk with our friends Melissa and Lexi. Thanks to Melissa for this cute picture of Apple swinging at the park! Even though it…
Up with the sun
I woke up before the sun this morning to meet my sister and brother in law and niece for some sunrise family pictures. I got there a little early and caught these gorgeous views. I was actually walking away towards my car when I saw this swiftly-moving boat. I ran back towards the water to…
Volunteer
AJ and I have a new special date on Friday afternoons. Reese’s teacher said she could use our help filling students’ folders while the kids are at lunch and recess. So we’ve been hanging out in Reese’s classroom. AJ loves having the room (and the chalk and the books and the blocks….) all to himself!…
Back in Time to the Colonial Farm
After Apple got sick yesterday, I had to cancel my plans to go to the Claude Moore Colonial Farm with a group of moms and kids from Church (today the kids were off school because of Yom Kippur). But another Mom was kind enough to take Noodle and Taco in her car so they wouldn’t…
New toy
My birthday present came in the mail today. Since I picked it out and ordered it, I figured it was ok for me to open it a week early. :) I decided that it was time for me to upgrade my “old” camera (isn’t it funny how electronics are so old after a few years?)…
Haircut and Tears
As anyone who read my last post could see, AJ was in sore need of a haircut. KitKat is our resident hair cutter. She has been dying to cut AJ’s hair. Today was the day. He was very brave. Apple kept his mouth and eyes shut tight until she was done. Lots came off, and…
