pumpkin patch...

last week was so busy, so forgive me, i'm a little behind on my posts... being in young womens and working with the youth in the church, i was in charge of young women in excellence, that was on tuesday. then, friday rolled around where i was teaching at the relief society's fab friday (super saturday). we made the funky flower pins. i'll share more pics from that later...


and we also had a preschool field trip to the local pumpkin patch, much fun. they had lots to do, including pushing my double stroller through the mud:) it had just rained the day before. but the visit is a fall-must and a field trip so what are you gonna do?! btw these were taken with my iphone, because my nikon battery was dead and i had forgotten to bring a backup battery. slap on the wrist suzy. but they turned out pretty good, thanks apple.

they had a hayride pulled by a tractor...which my girls were not interested in. a big slide, the kind where you sit on burlap sacks. some tire swings...which were the biggest hit! some animals...which my girls liked until the goat tried to nibble their coats, and of course the pumpkin patch...where you get to pick your own pumpkin, which is harder then it sounds with no gloves or clippers and 8 months pregnant:) but needless to say we left with 2 perfect pumpkins! halloween, we are ready for you. i love october. have i mentioned that?! love fall. love halloween.

i'm taking elder ardern's talk from general conference to heart. i love what he said, " love is spelled TIME". our bishop also challenged us recently to spend some undivided time with each child, every week. he gave us a goal of 30 mins with each child/week. where you just say, "i'm am all yours, what do you want to do?"
so saturday i and very fun date with... Amelia...we went to the mall and went shopping! where she got a mini MAC makeover and clothes, and i got some see's truffles and some of these...gray uggs... happy birthday from mom! thanks mom!
