Family Pictures

We had our family pics taken yesterday. We have a wonderful family at our church that we love and for Minister Appreciation Month they gave us a photo shoot. It was a lot of fun and we got a lot of great pictures from it. They have their own business and do a wonderful job. I wanted to share a few with you. If you get our Christmas card, then it is a preview for you :) Grayson did very well and the girls were a bit sleepy from a sleepover the night before. Eden had already gotten sick before the pictures, so unfortunately you will only see her pretty face, not smile. But Olivia had a beautiful smile for us.

All by ourselves

So the kids and I have been home alone since Sunday after bedtime. Garrett is off on a much needed vacation with his dad. They are surfing in Mexcio until next monday. So yes the four of us have been here.... and um yeah we are all still alive. I mean stick a 2yr old, 5 yr old, 6 yr old, and mommy all in one house with no separation except for the girls go to school. There have been plenty of others things going on too.... and man am i exhausted. We have had dr appt, dentist appts, small group, dinner every night at home (cooked by me), but nothing fabulous. Today i picked up the girls and decided before i left to get them that they deserved a little fun when they got home. I set the kitchen table with Edens new tea set, snacks, and put apple juice in the tea pot and in the refrigerator and then to school we went.

Today was also the first nap my son has taken in three days....uggh. But he was sleeping sooo nicely, and i still had to wake him up to go to school to pick the girls up.

When they came in the girls were very excited and so was Grayson. We all sat at the table and had our tea party. So here are some pictures:

We are also deciding on Grayson costume still for Halloween, here is one of our choices.

Pumpkin Patch

We went to Pumpkinville on thursday. Garrett is leaving for a week, so we took the kids to get pumpkins. They have an area for playing games, a hay ride, corn maze, and you can either get a pumpkin they have already picked or go to the field and pick one.

Well we let the kids for the first time roam the field. It was crazy and a bit dirty, but they loved it! We pulled a wagon all over that field, grayson had to have a green-orange pumpkin. he basically thinks that is one work (orange-green). So we searched for one, and tried not to let him throw too many mini pumpkins that he came across.

Last weekend

Last weekend we went to a church near by and they had a fall festival. We all had a great time. Oli and Grayson rode a horse, they all jumped in the jumping castle. We played a couple games, ate these fried in front of us potato chip, with seasoning..yummy! Fun times, and the weather was great...

my little man

So tonight Grayson and Garrett are at a sleep study for Grayson. I can not even imagine how he is doing all hooked up to the machines. That is why i sent the boys together. Garrett just had one a month or so he knew what to expect.

Keep my boys in your prayers. Hopefully we can all get some rest tonight. :)
