Pumpkin at the Patch!

JJ had his first experience at a Patch. It was so awesome to see his reaction to all the pumpkins.

When we first arrived he was very serious as he checked the scene out! He even tried to count all the pumpkins when we arrived. I told him that it was too many to count, but E for effort!

Then he came alive and started to put some pep in his step!

All of a sudden his  amusement with all pumpkins came to a complete pause. Why? JJ saw his first skeleton. We tried and succeeded in distracting him back to the real reason why we came to the patch.

Once again, the pumpkins got his attention and the scary ole skeleton was part of our past.

The animals did not do much for JJ.





Oh how I just love Pumpkins and this time of the year!!!



There were hundreds of pumpkins and they looked the same from afar. As you came closer to exam them you could see that they were not.  Just like God created the people in the world, uniquely different.



Could not leave the Patch without getting a picture of the Boy, the Girl, and my arm all together!

My 2 Lil Pumpkins!

The Story of my 2 Lil Pumpkins

I am totally in Love with pumpkins this Fall! I saw these 2 Lil Pumpkins at Safeway and they reminded me of my real Pumpkins(my kids). One is tall and thin(for a pumpkin) compared to the other, which is short and plump.I ran to Joann fabrics and picked up some supplies(ribbon and decorated paper), printed out a picture of each kid, and found some crazy glue. I did not know exactly how this was going to turn out....

To begin the crazy glue was a big fail so I tried two-sided tape to put my kids names on the 2 Lil  Pumpkins. I also hole-punched their pictures and ran the ribbon through, so that the pictures could hang.

                          I thought this was cute, but my 2 Lil pumpkins still did not satisfy my eyes.

                I took the picture faces off the 2 Lil Pumpkins and decided to try just the names and ribbons.

                         I placed my 2 Lil pumpkins in the living room with a picture in between them.

                                          Then I placed the picture on the side of my 2 Lil Pumpkins.

 I then took the picture away . JJ (the real JJ) was trying to pull the 2 Lil pumpkins down from the entertainment center . I took this as a sign that they did not belong in the living room.                                              

 I was still not satisfied with the look and location of my 2 Lil Pumpkins. I changed their ribbon with some recycled ribbon . I also turned the pattern around on JJ's

        name, to make it look masculine.

 I then took my the 2 Lil pumpkins up stairs.  I placed them on our dresser next to our mini personalized calendar.

 Nope, I didn't like that. And then finally my eyes were satisfied. This was the final look and place for my  2 Lil Pumpkins.

Another InstaFriday!
Link up the silly, sweet little moments that make up your week from your phone camera!

JoJo and I attended my Cousin's Shower and I made her a Diaper Baby you can see tutorial here

The Girls beat the Guys in getting dressed for church. Wes is in charge of JJ and I am in charge of JoJo on Sunday Mornings.

I had my first sauerkraut sandwich while watching the Sunday Game.

We kicked JJ out of his playzone and gave it completely to JoJo. She loves rolling around  and I love that she is safely rolling around now . She is also getting really good with her motor skills, hands and feet. Very talented girl:)

Grandma D has been a great help in holding JoJo because the baby girl is going through some serious separation anxiety.

Wes and I were able to go on a date...with JoJo.

Wes had another long week with school and work. He was so  happy to get some good quality time with the kids and me.

Enjoyed a Pumpkin Iced latte and  Pumpkin Pie Fro-Yo this week! I love fall but we had some hot days this week.

JJ is still perfecting his tricycle skills and showing interest in cars, trucks, and tractors. The Boy still plays with his basketball 50% of the day!

JJ had a play-date this week with his friends Chase and Tamara. Not only are we working on colors, numbers and letters but were also working on sharing and not hitting.

My Mom came over to visit her Bell Grand-children!

JoJo and I worked out(walking) together while Wes and JJ went to the gym.

We moved Wes' study area into the garage. This is where he can get some peace and quiet.... next to the wash machine and dryer.

I cooked Ribs in the crock pot for the first time this week. Recipe from this blog

Love seeing Fall things around the house this week!
