Pumpkin Patch

2 weeks ago (yes, I am behind) we went to Muscle Shoals.  While we were there, we visited McGee Farms' Pumpkin Patch with my brother, his wife, nephew, and niece.  It was a beautiful day and the kids really enjoyed it!  Livee hasn't been to a patch since she was a baby, so she enjoyed seeing the chickens and goats and going on the hayride.  She also LOVES her Uncle Brandon.  She sat with him on the hayride.  There was also a haystack for the kids to play in that the big boys had a ball on.  

We have been very busy this month.  I feel like I'm hardly every at home anymore.  I'm sure all that will change once the cold weather hits, so I'm trying to enjoy these gorgeous days right now.  I am room mom for Livee's class, so I've been busy getting ready for her fall party.  I also made Livee and Hayden's Halloween costumes this year.  I've been getting crafty lately and setting myself on a regular chore schedule for the house too (Thanks Pinterest).   

Hayden started karate at the beginning of this month and is actually enjoying it (rather than t-ball where he really didn't).  He's also learning quite a bit at school and is very close to becoming a reader!  Livee loves going to preschool and says new phrases everyday.  She's a talkative little girl at home, but becomes shy when she's out.  I really think it's more of a game to her than anything.  She follows Hayden around a lot and mimics him.  One funny thing she did last night was to tattle on me.  She was pitching a fit when it was time for her bath, so I picked her up and put her in the tub.  20 minutes later (after her bath and pjs were already on) she told Daddy that I hurt her arm.  Drama Queen!  

This is my absolute favorite time of year, so it's nice to be able to enjoy it.  This weekend we're heading to Birmingham for Samford's Homecoming game.  It's my 10 year reunion (yikes), so I'm glad I'll be able to be there and show Hayden and Livee my college!
