Is it really Oct.??

It was such a sunny day we had to get out of the house and go to a park. We had found this park while driving around in the hills of Dundee. It is right by one of the 100's of winery's. I think it was by the Erath one. It was a great park. The girls had a blast with the wide open spaces and no one else was there. Just us girls. After about an hour at the park we decided to go and check out the Kiwi farm.. I did not know they had mini size kiwi's that you eat like grapes.. No fuzz on them at all.. But we decided to pick the big Kiwi's... Or should I say, the girls pointed them out and I picked them.. They also had two calfs running around the field next to us.. The girls were in heaven!!

Pumkin patch #2

Eva's preschool had a field trip to Heiser Farms this Tuesday. We got there a little early so we got to spend a lot of time petting all the animals.

Fun time with friends

I forgot to post these awhile ago. They are from about two weeks ago.. We had Gavin over and decided to do a craft.. We painted wood cats and pumkins for Halloween.

Then Kyla and Jen came over and the kids played together.
Now I just had to post this picture.. What a sad looking face.. Thank goodness the teething is finally over..

First of a few pumkin patches

We went out to Farmer Johns punkin patch this weekend after the girls got back from Grandma's.. (side note: the weekend went well.. Todd and I got a ton of stuff done.. But it was tooo short.. Next time, I say 3 days at Grandma's!!) Anyway. It was such a nice day we had to get out and do somthing.
They have a straw maze for the small kids..
Then we headed off into the corn maze.. Eva was leading the way.. We found the middle but ended up coming out the start.. Go figure.. But it was fun and it did not take too much time.
Afterwards we got the girls ice cream cones and sat out in front of store and ate them. It was a good end to a great weekend.

A weekend away!!

Ok,,, for those of you who know me well... You know it is very hard for me to let my kids go to anyones house for a few hours... let alone for a weekend.. Eva was over 2 years old before she had her first overnight trip to Grandma's.. Well the time has come for Kia to join her.. I have decided that Todd and I really, REALLY, need a weekend to ourselves.. So I called grandma and she was happy to have them come over instead of the other way around!! So now I just need to get through this week with out thinking of the 1000 ways my girls could die while they are away from me.. (again those of you who know me, know I do this!! which I hate it!!) I am going to try and keep busy this week so I wont worry about it coming up. I know once they are there I will start to relax... But I am excited to get a weekend to be able to get a few projects done that we can not seem to do with the girls around. Maybe go to the movies sat. night... ohhhhhhh.... that would be nice..
Pray for me that I have no panic attacks this week leading up to the weekend.. I want to be at peace with it.. I know... I can type all I want.. but I will have a hard time doing it!!
