long overdue

Greetings!!! I know this is long overdue. No excuses except we have been busy busy busy with school, T-ball, helping set up/baking for upcoming carnival, field trips, neighborhood meetings, birthday parties...oh, and a game of Bunco last Tuesday! I cannot believe October is almost halfway over. Oh how I wish we were on our way to Disney as we were preparing for a year ago. But on to life as we know it!


This is the first picture I tried to take yesterday in front of our fall decorations out front. We actually set this out from the house about 2 weeks ago and I decided a week later we should move it closer to the house. I really didn't think it looked as great as it did last year since we decided to use pine straw instead of wheat straw. Hubby wasn't very excited...indecisive woman!


My baby decided early on that the orange pumpkin was more appeasing to look at than crazy mama with a camera.

Here he is getting very fussy....almost wanting to cry. I think he was thinking "mommy please let me look at that pumpkin" as this picture was still snapped in the first 3-4 pictures!

Oh...and my oldest here couldn't be still. He kept changing positions. He's like his dad in the way that he can't be still.

Yet another position for my oldest. Here he is counting the # of pictures. I told him let me take 10 more and then they could have 15 M&M's. Isn't it really sad that I have to BRIBE my children with candy to "Please let me take a FEW more so I can get a GOOD one!"????? By the way he is saying it is #7 after we/he had starting the countdown. I probably ended up snapping about 30+ photos altogether.

Matthew is looking down so I said, "Hey...why don't ya'll all look down like Matthew?" Did it work???


My sweet boys....they are truly Mama's boys....and I LOVE that!


I know all the pictures are starting to look alike at this point! This is the last one I snapped. By this point, my neighbors were laughing because I had resorted to holding up a piece of the straw from the scarecrow to try to get them to all look in the same direction at the same time. She came over to help and I am very thankful for that.


And last...My FAVORITE. Which one is your favorite and why??? Happy Fall and thankful for the cooler weather! Maybe next time I try to take pictures of all 3 of them together I will wait until 'daddy' is home.
