My Fall Collection

Aleah brought this "cutesy" little bag home from preschool this week. Evidently, they went for a walk to discover things about Fall. I could not wait to get her home to take a picture of this. In her bag she placed a pine cone she had found on her trip. I will be posting more pictures from preschool this weekend.

YUM YUM GOOD!!

We decided to get up early last Saturday morning before our Fall Break came to a close to have breakfast. Off we went to Cracker Barrel on a cool, rainy morning. It turned out great for all of us. Aleah sure did enjoy herself at the restaurant. We told her all about the old, antique things hanging on the wall and boy she have questions!! Sometimes she is a picky eater, but not this day.

Can you tell she is making sure nothing hits her plate. I have never seen her put away so much food. I hope this no reflection on my cooking!! The phrase on the shirt is so true.."Daddy's Little Pumpkin". She is such a Daddy's Girl and every girl needs her Daddy. I am so grateful that they are close. I am soo thankful for what God has done for us each and every day.

Visiting the Pumpkin Patch

Aleah had a planned field trip with her preschool to the pumkin patch. We were amazed at the things the children could do--feeding and petting animals, hay mazes, corn box, slides, hayride, and so much more. We had lunch at the patch and then I was off to work. Here are some of my favorite pictures!!





After the hay ride to the patch, Aleah found her favorite pumpkin to take home. I wonder what is going on in her little head as she looks at this scarecrow.



This is a great idea!! A corn filled box. This was Aleah's favorite event at the pumpkin patch. It would be great to have one of these at the house, and I am sure the mice, birds, and othe critters would like it even more.
I just love this picture of the three of us ..well four counting the scarecrow Shag fell in love with. It is hard to get all us together. A friend of mine came walking by and said let me take a picture all you together. I thought that was an excellent idea. So here we are all smiles:)

Look at this precious face!!

First Tailgate Party

This is a picture of Aleah at our school Tailgate Party. She played, danced, ate pizza, and helped form a human tunnel for the football players. I caught her being still for a minute and decided to get a quick picture before it all changed.

Do you see what I mean!!! This is the way it was the rest of the night. I would not want it any other way. As long as she is healthy, happy, and enjoying life, it puts a BIG :) on my face.

Sisterly Love

We went shopping together a few days ago. The two of them love to pick on each other even though the other one ends up mad. This is what you call love between two sisters.

I enjoy my girls dearly!! They make me smile even when I have "too much on my plate" to do or feeling a little down.

Time to Find That Perfect Pumpkin

Aleah and her dad bought some pumpkins from our neighbor at church Sunday. So Sunday afternoon, we when to pick "those perfect ones". Dad is explaining to Aleah what to look for in selecting a pumpkin. They had to watch where they were walking, because it was muddy from all of the rain. They have so much fun together doing things together..what a pair!!

Here is one of the pumpkins they got for me to use for decorating the yard. Fall is a beautiful time of year. I love to decorate the home inside and outside. This year I think Aleah will be going to a pumkpin patch for the first time. We are all really excited about this adventure.

Face Painting

We went grocery shopping Saturday. Whew!! is it ever a job. I ask Shag to take Aleah looking around in another area..sporting goods, hunting, or where ever to entertain her. Finally, after a This is what I found!!

Is that a skunk on her shoulder???? No!! not quite. It is her little kitten she found in a tree at the house in July. Aleah loves that kitten. Her daddy lets the kitten wake her up every morning.

HOW CUTE!!!
