Drumroll please . . . . TA . . DA!

Wacky Wednesday!

Eli and Lucas have their shirts and pants on backwards. Noah tried the backward jeans but changed his mind.

Tie/Bandana Tuesday

Noah is wearing the bandana that Eli wore to school around his arm (Eli's arm) b/c Noah forgot his bandana at school. Eli is wearing his ribbon as a tie b/c he felt like it. Don't ask me!

Red Ribbon Week

This week is red ribbon week (Say No to Drugs!), so the boys were showing school spirit by wearing their grades colors. 4th-purple, 3rd-blue and Kind-yellow. What is up with Snoopy Doggy Luke???

Weekend update!

Eli and Lucas started basketball and indoor soccer respectively. Eli is wearing the GREEN pants. The pics aren't that good. I blame the background. And stand firm on that, the operator of the camera is no way responsible. Noah is almost done w/his swimming/diving classes. Eli participated in the tractor pulling finale. Pulling ??lbs (I wasn't there so no pics) for 22ft. No trophy but way to go ELI! Lots of stuff going on the week. Not to mention Noah's big 1-0 bday and Halloween. So keep checking back for updates.

Check out DinoKid!

Noah has updated his blog. Check out DinoKid10!

Spooky Worlds of Fun!!

So, the boys and I went to World's of Fun last Sat. And to say it is scary after dark is an understatement and packed. As soon as it started turning dark, the crazys came out. They had monsters of every sort, groups of mental patients. Thankfully the boys didn't see most of that. But they all decided that they would rather leave then stay 1 more minute. However, we were at the opposite side of the park (from the exit). Like I said it was packed. We only rode 2 rides and visited camp Snoopy, in the 2hrs or so that we had been there. But after the boys saw or didn't see (did I mention they had a ton of fog machines going so that you couldn't see), how there were people scaring other people, we couldn't get out of there fast enough. Lucas was crying and Noah and Eli were equally terrified. We made it out safely. And the boys NEVER want to go to Worlds of Fun after dark during the Halloween Haunt. Lessons learned! At least we got in free!

I know the month is almost over!

I know the month is almost over, but I thought I would support the cause for the last part of it. Noah is working on his own blog so keep an eye out for dinokid10!

Welcome Back Papa!

My Dad came home on Friday! The boys and I missed the family dinner on Sat. But my Dad came to my house on Sunday to see me b4 work and see the boys when they got home from their Dad's. And they we went to have dinner w/my folks yest. I forgot my camera. Which I am sure Papa is greatful for. Because I would have LOVED capturing my Dad beating Noah at boxing on the wii. We are all glad that he is finally home.

10 things I fear . . .

I saw a writing prompt on another blog and thought it would be fun.

10. That there won't be enough money

9. That I will make a mistake at work that harms a patient

8. That I will make the same mistakes in the future that I did in the past

7. That I won't lose the weight

6. That my children would think that I failed them as a mother

5. That I won't be able to do it all ( work, be a good mom, be a normal person, etc)

4. That something bad would happen to my extended family

3. That something bad will happen to my kids

2. That all those dear to me won't be in heaven

1. That my children won't be in heaven

Okay so that was a little heavier than I thought. It was hard to come up with them at first, since I don't spend my time being afraid. But it is good to look at all those things are realize that the Big Guy is in control and I can focus on doing the best I can.

Pumpkin Patch!

The boys and I went to the pumpkin patch yesterday. We went with my friend Brooke and her family (Justin, David, Jake and their neice Kynleah). We had lots of fun. Enjoy all the pics. I know there are ALOT but I try not to do too many slideshows since my friends at work can't view them.

Loads of Fun!

Tractor Trikes!

These are for the 8yr and younger. But Noah tried to join in on the fun. Until I tried to take his pic, then he fled the scene.

Tractor Pulling!

The boys entered the tractor pulling contest. Lucas pulled 60lbs over 23ft. Noah had to pull 130lbs and pulled over 22ft. Noah took the pic of Eli's tractor pulling and it is blurry, but it is the only one. Sorry! Eli won 2nd place by pulling 90lbs over 24ft. Eli won a goodie bag w/candy and small toys. Both 1st and 2nd place in each age group get to go back on the 26th of Oct to go for the championship. The winner gets a trophy and their pic on the website for 1 year! Go Eli.

Pedal Carts!

Gourd Gun!

Mining!

Tractor drawn Hayrides! (w/o the Hay???)

They had tractors pulling wagons that take you out to the pumpkin patch.

And finally the pumpkin patch!

This was the first time I had taken the boys to an actually pumpkin patch. There was always a church down the street selling pumpkins. But it was fun going and picking them. Noah was a little frustrated when he kept picking ones that ended up having holes or were starting to rot. But eventually, we all found one.

Unusual pumpkins!

Noah took some pics of some of the weirder looking pumpkins. He says the top pic is a pumpkin w/pimples.

Babysitting is FUN!

On Thursday, we babysat my friend Brooke's 2 boys while she and her husband worked. The boys enjoy playing w/ David (3yrs old) and Jake (9mo). Now, Noah is more convinced that he wants a little sister and brother. Where does he get such ideas!

Happy Birthday Papa!

A great pumpkin craft!

I saw this great craft when I was blog hopping a few weeks ago. So, I thought they would be great fall gifts for the boys' teachers. So, the following posts have pics of the boys decorating pumpkins for their teachers. I swear Noah is the one in the pic. Lucas took it, so I take no responsibility for the fact that you can't see him. They enjoyed using the hot glue gun more than anything.
