Friday Fun Day

Derek had his first dentist appointment today. That part was not fun. The x-rays were hard, he hated it. He wouldn't let them clean his teeth, he cried. But he is cavity free, so that's good news. Usually he is so well behaved at any medical appointment, but he woke up with a bad cold today and I knew he wasn't himself. Maybe that was it, or he just hates the dentist along with 90% of the world. Jason and I both have our appointments tomorrow... blah, blah, blah!

So then we went to the pumpkin patch. Of course he had to wear his Woody costume. There were only 2 other families there while we were there. It was great. I bought him 12 tickets and that would have only allowed him to do about 3 things. But since the place was a ghost town, the man let him do just about everything he wanted to do without any tickets. What a nice guy.. so I tipped him $5. Derek was in heaven.



He went to the petting zoo

Rode the tractor

And the ATV train

Went down a few slides

Searched for the perfect pumpkin

These 2 found theirs... And were quite happy about it!


After the babies woke up from their nap, we played outside. Have I mentioned how much I love this Fall weather? OK, maybe I have. And you'll hear it again and again... and again.

I think we need to get another one of these push cars. It's a hit with the twins, just as it was with Derek.




Jill is actually laughing in this picture (I know she looks as if she's being tortured, but trust me, she's having a blast!)

See!


Then Friday got even better when my dad came over to help with dinner/bath/bedtime. I'm happy to report that James and Jill were both in bed at 7:00 and Derek by 7:40. Now I'm going to curl up on the couch with some hot chocolate and watch something good. Jason won't be home until 11:30 or so. I hate his night schedule!

Kelly,
I love Derek's costume!! It sure looked like the kids enjoyed the pumpkin patch. Do you remember the old one they had years ago up off Upper? Corn stalk maze and all of that? Now THAT was a pumpkin patch! You kids all had field trips there and everyone loved to go.
What is it about those push car strollers that the kiddos love so much? But they all do. The twins are growing so fast!!! Hope you enjoyed your hot chocolate and telly time.
