Weekend

The kids and I stayed very busy this weekend. Cash had a football game on Saturday and we spent the rest of the weekend playing and making crafts. Most of Sunday afternoon before we went to the Pumpkin patch the kids played really great together. They dressed as superheros. Palin makes a great Batman!

 Palin even convinvced Cash to play with her babies. She had him bring all her doll beds and strollers out to the living room so they could play.
 Cash had an idea to get styrofoam cirlces and paint them like pumpkins, so we did that on Saturday afternoon. They both did quite well and there was not paint everywhere... I was impressed.
 We made painting with there little feet. They were both very unsure about painting their feet black, but I think that it turned out really cute. I also just noticed that Palin was not in clothes in any picture, not really sure why she was not.. I promise she does wear clothes.

Pumpkin Patch

 Sunday afternoon our bible study class went to one of the local pumpkin patches. This was a different one than the one that we went to last weekend. It was supposed to rain all day and it did not! It was perfect. A little cloudy but it was great.
 They had so many photo op places set up to take pictures on, and the kids were decked out in their fall pumpkin shirts. I even made Cash's the night before at the last minute because the one that I ordered had not come in.
 They had tons of things to do, they had a hay bale maze that Cash spent a full hour running around in with a few other boys in our class. I think total that we have around 13 kids from Cashs age to 6 months old, so it is always a little crazy when we all get together, which is every Sunday after church. This group of folks have been amazing, for us to get to know and start hanging out with the last couple of months.
 One of them is the local denist and the other the local pediatrician for the kids. So we are always around great people and we are excited that the kids a great group of little people to be with.



 There had corn boxes instead of sand boxes for the kids to play with. And horses for them to ride around barrells. It was enough to keep them enterained for the day!



I actually got a couple of cute pics of the kids!! Thank goodness they are both very difficult to take pictures of these days.

Spirit Day!

It's Football season.. and that means that every Friday at school is spirit day! The kids are supposed to wear their yellowjacket gear to school. Tonight is extra special because we are going to try and make it to the game, this will be our first high school game to go to since we moved back, but they are on a winning streak so we will hope that they win!
I tried getting picture of the kids on our way out the door this morning, but as you can see my childern are not morning people, and Palin was not going to smile for me no matter what! She's a little sassy and does things on her terms not mine!

Happy Birthday Grandpa

 We celebrated Toby's dad birthday last night. We all went to dinner and then back to the house to have cake.
 Palin and I found candles that made the flame colored the same as the candle. You can not tell that great in the picture, but they were pretty cool.
After they left we got the kids ready for bed and Palin gave everyone their night time kisses before bed.

Pinterest Cupcakes

 Saturday night we made cupcakes. I had seen some on pinterest that I wanted to try. They were supposed to look like Candy Corn. They were supposed to have orange at the bottom and yellow and then white icing. As usual they did not turn out like the picture. The kids did however have fun making them to take to our bible study class on Sunday after church. Now that we are going to that, I am having to cook something each week. I am kinda excited about it, its giving me a chance to try some new things out.

Fall is here!

 We woke up Saturday morning to cold weather! It was windy and freezing. Cash had a football game that morning. Last game he had we all about melted since it was so hot, today we just about froze to death. Cash had a good game and is gettting better, I still think that baseball is his favorite.
 After lunch we headed to a local pumpkin patch to find some pumpkins for this year. We went to the pumpkin patch in Dublin, so we went by the flower shop and picked up Toby's mom Oma to go with us. When we got there we got to go on a hayride around the property.
 There were plenty of places to stop and take pictures of the kids. Palin liked sitting on the great big pumpkin that we foudn while we were there. The kids were really excited to be there despite the cold and windy weather.

 They had a little kids train ride too that they got to ride in. They thought that it was great!

 On our way out we all got to pick out pumpkins to take home. Palin picked up the first one she saw and then traded it out about 4 times as she walked all the way through the pumpkin patch. Cash on the other hand walked all the way throught the patch before deciding on the perfect one to take home.
Next week we are headed to a different pumpkin patch!

Texas Rangers Game


Part of Cash's birthday present was tickets to the Texas Ranger game. Toby and I were planning on taking just him and the three of us going. At the last minute our friends Mandy and Whit and their daughter Whitney were able to go. So we all made the trip to Arlington together for the day. Our seats were great. Most of the time that we were there, it was raining. Our seats were covered so we stayed dry until we got ready to leave and we got drenched going to the car. It was a lot of fun. We went back through Weatherford on our way home and ate dinner and did a little shopping.
