Fall Fun and the FAIR

We've been so busy the past few weekends and I don't see it stopping anytime soon.  Between visiting Sweet Berry Farms pumpkin patch, going to Dallas and the Fair, then Halloween, then Abby's birthday party, then moving to our new house, then Thanksgiving, then, then, then.... :)

Hard at work making a scarecrow

Wait, where did the kids go?

Oh - there's one, guess Blake lost interest. 

Good thing Daddy and Aunt Heather were there to finish it!  

Look at that concentration between those two!

And there is the princess. :)

Mommy and Blake on the shuttle to the airport at 6:30am!  He was a trooper! 

(and stinking cute in his jammies)

Big Tex!  Fun at the State Fair of Texas.

Feeding the goats...

and the zebra...

petting the piglets...

eating ice cream....

Fun time at the airport waiting for our flight home.

Sweet brother and sister - flying home.

Granny and Blake

We often use up all our storage on our iPhone with photos, so about every couple months I have to do a download to get them off so we can keep taking more.  I was cleaning up Matt's photos and found these GEMS from our Indiana vacation this year that I totally forgot about!!  I must have grabbed his phone when I saw this.  Love it!!!

Morning cup of coffee (er, milk) and a donut with Granny!

Peek-a-boo!

So fun!

Sisters...

I have some of the best conversations with Abby at night when she's going to bed.  This is what we discussed last night. :)

Me: Aunt Heather is my sister
Abby: No, she's not your sister anymore!
Me: Why?
Abby: Because you are my Mommy now.
Me: She is still my sister, just like Blake is your brother and will always be your brother.  Even when you become a Mommy.
Abby: *sighs really loudly* I want a sister, I don't want a brother.
Me: *laughing* Well, too bad, you get a brother and he loves you so much.
Abby: I know, you can be my sister now instead of my Mommy!
Me: OK, but who will take care of us.
Abby: Hmm, guess we'll just have to take care of ourselves....and Blake, we have to take care of him to because he's to small and doesn't know what he's doing.
