Elf Yourself ~ Day 243

For the first time ever I did one of those Office Max "Elf Yourself" videos.  Boy was it fun!  I decided to pay the 5 bucks to download it.  I think we may do a new one every year.  I think it would be neat as a little tradition... and a great laugh for years to come!

Pumpkin Patch Here We Come! ~ Day 184

This is my absolute favorite time of the year.  It is even more exciting now that I can share it with my children.  I hope to start a lot of traditions.  One tradition I started last year was a trip to the pumpkin patch.  Dell was in my belly last year, but this year he was happy to join in the fun!

We started off with some pictures at home.

Then some funny ones @ the farm.

  Time to check his height!

 Kensington and Neela taking off for the maze!

 Brenden got in on the action too!

 They had a huge area to play in the hay, complete with slides!  Can you spot Kensi in the background?

 Chad and his boys!

 We found a few fuzzy caterpillars.

 Dell wasn't sure what to think!

 He really loved the hayride!  He was just about to his melting point and then we got on the wagon.  What a life saver!

Time to pick our pumpkins!

 Dell thought this one sat nicely!

Apparently Brenden found a cozy one too!
