Saturday we went with our friends the Andrew's to the Curry Farm's pumpkin patch in Start, LA. It was a last minute decision that turned out to be great! The only bad thing was that since it was last minute, I didn't have my camera! We got to go through a corn maze, pick pumpkins, play in the "corn" box, participate in pumpkin chunkin, race rubber ducks, and go on a hay ride! All for $5 a person! We had the best time!
Today I got to go on Morgan's second field trip of the school year. We went to one of her classmates houses where they got to feed chickens, have snacks, pick pumpkins, and go on a hay ride. They were so cute!
Waiting for the hay ride to start!
Morgan is scared of any animal getting close to her so she squeeled everytime a chicken got anywhere near her. She was content to toss corn from a distance. For a while...
Once we convinced her to hold one, she was sold! All she wanted to do was hold chickens. Now she is insisting that we get her a chicken! A chicken, an apartment, hmmm.... probably not a good idea.
Pumpkins were scattered all over the place and the kids each got to pick one. Of course Morgan chose one of the heaviest! She couldn't even get it off the ground!

Rare moments
Although my wonderful parents help out with our kids often, it isn't often that Gene and I get to spend the time the children are away just the two of us. We usually have plans with someone else or one of the kids stays with us. Today after church, all three kids left with Nana and Papa to go to Memphis until Wednesday! What are we going to do with no children for almost four days and no plans? What did we do BC (before children)? This week is intersession for our public schools so I am technically off. However, I am teaching 3rd grade math 8-12 Monday-Friday this week. After that each day... I get to do nothing! I miss my kids already, but we seriously needed some us time! Thanks Nana and Papa!
Last night we went to a birthday party for Aaron Matthews. We don't get dressed up very often so I enlisted Trevor to snap this photo as proof that we still remember how!
