Pumpkin Patch Tradition!

The kids were sooooooo excited to go to the Pumpkin Patch! The line to get in was forever long and Kara almost peed her pants! All the bathrooms were inside!

Brent decided the kids were old enough to go to the Field of Screams this year, and boy were they excited! I still think they are to young, but no one is listening to me, except Halle! Halle and I opted out!

Hayden and Halle. Hayden likes being a big brother.
Halle jumping on the pillow.

Halle and I riding the tractor ride. I was trying to do that thing where you take a picture of yourself. The guy pulling the tractor saw me and offered to take a picture for us. Actually this ride was pretty fun. I always thought it looked kind of boring, but it is pretty fun. He went in circles and went over some bumps. I did figure out to keep my arms outside the wagon or your arms kind of get bumped around which hurts a lot.

This is the kids coming out of the field of screams which was not scary at all according to them. Kara did, however, trip and fall hitting her head on a board and getting a little goose egg. Kelton also fell while running from the chain saw guy, but I guess he jumped up quick and booked it out of there leaving Brent and Kara in the dust! They weren't scared at all!

They really wanted me to go, but only because they wanted me to scream and get scared! Hayden and Brent really want me to go. I hate scary things, even when it isn't scary.

Bouncing! This is where I try to limit my picture taking, but am unsuccessful yet again.

The kids wanted me to get on to, but I had to pee, and I hate Porto potties. Also it was pitch black in the Porto potties. Very scary! I can't jump even when I don't have to pee.

Brent doesn't have the pee problem! No fair!

It's hard to get everyone in the picture, but here they all are, even Hayden (he's the guy with the orange sweat shirt).

Before we went to the pumpkin patch the kids made me search the house for Halloween shirts. I didn't buy any this year so we had to go through the too small bins. Good thing they don't grow much.

Brent usually wears an orange shirt for Halloween, but don't worry he never will wears a sports team, because he thinks it is only cool to dress up for Holidays(;

Hot!

Bunnies!

Horses!

Feeding time!

Animals always make the kids beg for a pet! Please oh please can we have a dog????? Brent told the kids they could have a dog, but then all we will be able to afford to eat is dog food. They agreed to just eat dog food!!! Yeah right, I can't even get them to eat people food!

Kelton was dying to sit in this big chair!

As usual I strip the kids in the garage and throw them into the bath after the event. I love clean kids. Brent thinks I should work at an ultra sanitary environment maybe NASA or where they make computer chips and they can't have any kind of dust or germs. Who doesn't love to go to bed clean?

One tradition checked off the list! Just kidding, kind of! It does kind of seem like that sometimes. I think I'll sit my kids down and warn them before they start their traditions. Remember once you start doing something your children will expect it forever, so make sure to set their expectations low or they'll always be disappointed. I don't know if that is a good thing, but it is kind of true.
