The Pumpkin Patch

On Saturday we took the kids over to Elsinore to the pumpkin patch. They had so much fun picking their own pumpkins, riding the train, and the hay wagon. Mike told the story of when he got ran over by a hay wagon and I of course laughed as I do everytime the story is mentioned. I know I'm not very nice but it's funny now. Mostly because I heard the story the first time from a traumatized Colby. He came running in the house near tears, "Mikey got ran over by the hay wagon!!" As I type this tears are rolling down my face.

Anyway back to the ranch... After the pumpkin patch we went home and had ice cream cones and played tag with the kids on the front lawn. Jercie had spent the night at Grammy's and was super ornery that night.

On Sunday we went to church. It was the Primary Program. Jercie had her part all memorized and then refused to get up and say it. I was kind of sad cuz we worked so hard on it. Oh well. Kaia had all the Relief Society ladies in love with her. Who wouldn't be?! Blaze actually likes to go to nursery now. He goes right in and starts playing. He doesn't really play with the other kids. He's likes to play alone. My home teachers stopped by last night and talked to my kids. Bob taught them about rules and used magnets to teach the lesson. It was nice. He also brought over some tomatoes and a butternut squash. YUM!!! Any tips on how to cook the squash are welcome!!

Upcoming events include: pumpkin carving tonight. The halloween parade at the school on Friday morning. Trick or Treating Friday night. Family pictures on Saturday. If the clothes Andrea bought for Kaia are here by then she will wear one of the outfits for pictures. I am so excited to get the pictures done. We are going up to Monrovian. Hopefully the trees won't be too bare.

That is all I can think of for now. I will post pics of everything as soon as I can.
