and so it begins...

Any guesses as to what this might be?

Whatever it is, it sure has captured this kid's attention.

Oh I see.  Someone must have been getting ready for a little trip to Tar-jay...  (which is really where we were going)  Unfortunately, they don't take play money there.

Just don't tell her that.

And yes, we now have a nice, "little" facial wound.  It may have hurt at the time, but she sure had fun getting it.  This is one kid who plays hard!

this goofy girl of mine...

I'm kinda crazy about her...

pumpkin patch

We decided to take the girls to a pumpkin patch today (since they're so obsessed with pumpkins)!  And I needed to practice for class (of course) so I grabbed my camera, too.  And now I realize I have no great pictures of them with the pumpkins.  Go figure.

But they had fun.  We went on a hay ride, walked through a corn maze, played on playground equipment, ran through a mini-maze, picked out little pumpkins, and I enjoyed a nice hot cup of apple cider.  Yum!  (It was so cold today!)
