Pumpkin Picking!!!

Here are some pics of our trip to the Happy Apple pumkin patch!

Some other recent pics taken

Well, Ayva is now just over 3 weeks old! Time just flies don't it? We have enjoyed just about every minute of it! For the most part she continues to be a pretty laid back baby, except for right about the time mommy wants to go to bed. Yesterday, tho, I decided to try to keep her awake slightly more during the day and that seemed to help. I actually got some ME time before bed and she went right to sleep after she ate before bed. Last couple days, she eats around 11p.m. then gets up around 3, then again by 7. Guess I can't complain too much.

We managed to get out quite a bit this past week, including a shopping trip, just me and the kids! That actually went surprisingly well! We also, as pictured above went to the penrose Happy Apple pumpkin patch and got us 27 lbs of pumpkin! Tyler enjoyed the tractor ride and Ayva slept happily in her sling the whole time. The only part that wasn't fun was tryin to find a place to sit and eat our lunch. There were so many people there! We tried to eat outside, while matt got the hot dogs, Tyler and I found a seat. Well, just as we sat down, we watched a little boy get stung by a bee. Then I noticed several other bees around and they would not leave Tyler alone. So we moved. That didn't work, and we managed to catch one in our Apple juice. So we went back inside and sat on a bench. Ate our lunch bee free.

I am getting my hair done today. First time in several months, so i will try to post some before and after pics If i can stand to show you my long, nasty ratted hair. I always just pull it up, it's soooo much easier and it doesn't get in my face. Gonna cut it like I did last time, but since it's been so long, it will be a drastic change again.

Matt just finished working two doubles. yes that is two...so basically he went in thursday at 3pm, came home at 7am, slept for a few hours, went back in at 3, and got home this morning just after 7. and yes, he has to work again at 3. So he is exhausted, i am a bit tired since i have had no help, but i am managing just fine. Tyler is at preschool this morning, so it's kinda nice to be able to catch up on this and housework. Although i should have just went back to sleep since Ayva is napping, but that wont last long.

Happy Halloween everyone. Next post I should have some cute Halloween pics up!
