It's me! It's me! :)

Too much to say Tuesday...

This is last night at 8:15pm. Notice Jackson was doing p90x ab-ripper with Momma (she had to take a break to take this picture). Also notice Daddy and Kiptyn passed out in the chair. Ah, Mondays,...we are not a fan of you!

"Ponkin Patch"

This year we had a blast at the "ponkin patch" as Jackson still calls it. We went to Jeter's Farm for the 3rd(?) year now and they definitely out did themselves! The had the same petting zoo, hayride, pumpkin picking patch, and corn maze as usual...



But this year they had more!! They had a slide plus a huge barn of hay! It may have been the cheapest form of entertainment for our 3 year old ever!



Us adults even had a good 'ole time on the slide!









Hay barn being utilized:




We had such a great time, with even greater friends! :)

Yes I am the scatter-brained Mom that let Jackson walk out the door to the pumpkin patch with this on:


Is it not in style to leave tags on clothing??

7 games in 2 days










This past weekend Josh had a soccer tournament (for both teams by the way) so we decided to head to Richmond early. Josh took a personal day Friday and we headed to the Children's Museum with The Randolphs. We had a blast. The boys thoroughly enjoyed themselves at the exhibits at the museum and playing in the pool at the hotel.




ps: props for keeping both kids by myself while josh is at the field 30 minutes away for 7 games, Go Momma Jones! We literally only made it to 1 & 1/2 games but hey, baby steps!







Here's some of the pics from the museum.

Camping

Yeah right like we really went camping?! Have you met my husband? If there isn't a shower and a tv with college football on there's no getting him out into the woods! Instead we camped in Jackson's CARS tent. The boys had a good time playing and pretending to be asleep!
