Pumpkin Patch

We tried a new pumpkin patch this year in Hayden, AL. It was about 25-30 min outside of Birmingham, but well worth the drive. Granted, we did go on a Thursday, but it wasn't crowded and they had everything super organized! There were lots of things to do other than just picking pumpkins, so the kids had a blast. They even had a great selection of food/concessions, and most things were very reasonably priced. Rutland  LOVED all the tractors and running wild most of the day. I managed to keep them awake on the ride home and everyone took an extra long nap that day!! HOMERUN for mommy!!

Just Like Daddy

We have always said Rutland is Christopher's "mini-me", but the older he gets, the more true this statement becomes. Not just in looks, but his behavior, sense of humor, wit, mannerisms, EVERYTHING, is just like his daddy. He loves his mamma and always wants to snuggle with me, but when Daddy comes home, it is ON! He squeals and runs to the door, jumping up and down "Da-Dee" "Da-Dee"! I told Christopher he better watch out - those little eyes are always watching him and copying him. This is the latest thing the little 'copy cat' has tried to mimic...

Whatcha reading Da-dee??

First, gotta cross my legs...

Then, hold my magazine up...

Turn the pages every now and then...

Check and make sure I'm doing it right...

Yep, this is so much fun and so interesting!! And I'm so big like Da-dee!!

Even Caroline likes to read magazines on the couch with Da-dee. That equals more time for mommy to cook dinner :)
