Haircut & Pens

No cute picture of the kids dressed in their Halloween get-up. That will come next week.

This litte bumble bee got her first haircut. I had my camera and was prepared for the precious, babybook pictures. Instead she screamed and tried to escape the whole time. I was promising this child everything- toys, ice creams, candy. When we left, Colt said "you promised we could get ice cream". It was either the ice cream shop or the bar and the ice cream shop gives away balloons.

Besides this being a picture of a day in the life of our playroom, this arrangement really has a purpose.

Colt is obessesed with pens- dog, cow, sheep and donkeys. I was obssessed with house plans as a child so I'm kind of intriged by his pens. This pen features a feeding trough (shopping cart). The blue chairs are to keep the rats & rattlesnakes out of the feeding trough. Its a crazy household!

Pumpkin Patch & Tailgate

Colt's class went on a field trip to a local pumpkin patch last week.

He enjoyed finding a big pumpkin

The patch also had a cow, goats and rabbits. Colt was confused that he couldn't go in the pen with the cow.

His class went in the stall with the goats and Colt came out and asked why the goats ran from him. He said "don't they know that I know goats".

Saturday we tailgated before the game. I was chasing children until Papooh arrived. I could finally bring my camera out then.

Dad was disappointed when it was time to go to the game.

Annie is wearing my old cheerleading dress. Its polyester!

We had a little birthday party at our tailgate and I made an AU cake. DSCN3531

Wes decorated it with a one legged turkey dingo (or something). Our tailgate group was on a softball team together in college and this was their mascot!

We Went to the Fair

I don't even think I need to explain.

Every county has a fair that is truly a cultural experience but one that should never be neglected. The food was good but scary. The lights were bright and flashing. The rides were entertaining. The prizes were cheezy.

Proof that we went and had a blast

The only tears shed were when we had to leave!
