the Pumpkin Patch and Apple Orchard

We headed off to Wilcox, on Saturday, to go to the pumpkin patch.  Can you believe Rob has never been to a "pick-your-own" pumpkin patch?  I'm not sure who had more fun Kade or Kade's Daddy...

We also went to Apple Annie's apple orchard, to pick some Granny Smiths.

Can you tell that it was a windy day?
Check out the zucchini that Rob picked.  We grilled some that night.  I think we'll have to grill it every night for a month, to eat the whole thing!
Kade helped us pick some green beans.
He loved riding in the wagon.

He was so proud of it.  He wanted to carry it everywhere.

Kade loved the tractor hay ride.
We had a great day!

I'm sooooo SAD

He's so dramatic!  

Good thing he gets over it pretty quickly.

"Stop taking my picture, Mom!"   I had to convince him that I was only taking pictures of the pumpkin!




He had so much fun painting his little pumpkins.

Scrap"Pink" Weekend

My Mom signed us up for a weekend of scrapbooking, at her local scrapbook store, in Yuma.   It was a weekend of fun, food, prizes, silent auction, projects, and scrapbooking!  

Friday night (which lasted until midnight) was pink pajama party night.

Me & Mom (in our pink pajamas)
We had 4 mother/daughter groups
On Saturday, we took a break for some glow-in-the-dark miniature golf.  The golf course next door donated a free round for all of us.

So we had a Project Runway scrapbook challenge.  They gave us paper, ribbon, a heart brad, and the word "Survivor", that we were to use to make a "Survivor" page.  It could be about anything "survived".  We had an hour and a half to make the 12x12 layout.  And here was my page...
My little pink (popping out) tag says, "Leaving a Ladies' Lunch I fell of this cliff, while carrying my son.  He walked away unscathed!"  Under the little Elmo band-aid, was my elbow wound, and I made it so you could lift one side of the band-aid to see it.

And guess who was the page challenge winner?...

ME!!  I was shocked!  And I won this prize!  It's a Slice machine, that cuts out shapes and letters, using  different computer cartridges.  How fun is that?  I am so excited!  Now I just have to figure out how to use it.

Thanks Mom, for such a fun weekend!
