Colby Gets Stitches... again!

The people at the hospital are going to be turning me in to Child Protection soon. Colby's head must have the same magnet in it that Todd has... this is his 3rd facial scar. I know he didn't get the clumsy gene from me! he he

This is what happens when you're dancing in the family room and don't stop when mom warns you that someone is going to get hurt. Brady stopped, Colby spun one last time... and then collided with the table. 3 hours and 4 stitches later... he is a tough one though. No tears after the initial injury. He doesn't seem to mind the hospital... he should be able to tell me how to get there soon.

How many days until Halloween?

That's all I hear at my house...
My toes probably don't help.

Pumpkin Patch

We took our annual trip to the pumpkin patch early this year. The weather was beautiful... and you never know how long it will last... so we went. The boys had already been with their grandparents, so they were excited to show us all of the changes this year.

Brady had fun punching the sunflowers. Of course he had to inspect them for bees first.

The rule is: You have to be able to carry your own pumpkin.
I can't find any bugs.
My boys LOVE to have their picture taken.

Please tell me that someone did this on purpose! Otherwise... it's a little spooky.
There were a million people looking for pumpkins in the pumpkin patch. Colby was bug hunting. "Oooh Mommy, a green lady bug."
"My bug flew away...again!"

There is a pumpkin launch area where you put a small pumpkin into a sling shot and launch it at barrels in the distance. Colby was VERY upset that his pumpkin didn't go into the barrel. He really wanted a prize... he didn't even know what the prize was... but he wanted it anyway.

Brady is starting to look a little big for a pony. But the weight limit was 80 pounds... poor ponies!

The boys had their two pumpkins all picked out to launch... then Colby dropped one. It took him like five minutes to get them both picked up again... it was hilarious. I don't even think he knows we were amused. He was determined though... don't help me!
Got 'em!
It's too sunny Mom!

The hay pyramid is always a popular place. They stack the bales so that there are tunnels and the boys are in and out and up and over....

"I'm king of the world!"
There was a pony ride this year. The boys have only been on horses a few times, but love them... where did they get that gene? Not from me!
Both of the boys just LOVE animals. Colby is constantly asking for a baby animal..."because they're soooo cute" he always says. He has asked for tigers, camels... you name it.

Brady kept talking about riding on the tractors. I just figured it was a big one you could sit on for a picture... but then he showed me. Oooooh.

Fun was had by all... now for the carving...ugh!
