Festivus

Yesterday we went to Hunsader Farm Pumpkin Festival. We had a good time. You know the old saying that less is more.  I have to say that I loved the farm that we went to in NC a few years ago with our good friends that live in Raleigh.  It isn't too small and it isn't too big.  It seemed just right. Don't get me wrong Hunsader Farm is a great farm but when you have a great experience in your past you can't help but compare. The farm in NC was better for younger kids.   Hunsader farm was bigger, lots more people and had more things to do but sometimes the quaint is just right.  Check out Nathan, he is a hoot.  He wasn't posing.  Just taking it all in.  

It was HOT! Of course a "cold" front went threw last night and it is chilly today.  I once heard a radio guy say years ago "chili today, hot tamale". Funny and very true of our weather here.  I'm not complaining just stating the facts.  

After the farm I took Maddie to buy jeans.  I had a $10 off a $10 purchase coupon for JCPenny that expired yesterday.  Can't waste that! Even though I didn't feel like going shopping it is a good thing I did because she is going to need them this week. Near record lows for us this week.  Don't laugh you non-Floridians high 30's, low 40's. 

Speaking of weather the World Series was delayed for over and hour last night for rain.  GO RAYS!  You should see my van.  I painted Go Rays! with window chalk all over the windows.  I have only had one person honk but it is funny to see people look at me while I am driving.  Anywho, we made philly cheese steaks so we could eat the competition last night. HEE HEE! Marks mom is from Philadelphia so this World Series is a once in a life time thing for us.  Two "home" teams.   Nathan though we were having cheese sticks (his favorite) so he was very upset when we handed him a sandwich.  He didn't eat the sandwich but he did have a cheese stick. We tried to watch the game with the kids but the girls put themselves to bed before the first pitch. It was after 10 when the game started and we had a long day.  
Halloween is less than a week away!  I haven't even gotten the kids a costume for the Halloween camping trip. Camping?  I'll let you know how that all goes.

2 AM Musings

I have been wide awake since before 2 AM. Wide eyed and well, not so bushy tailed. This is the second day in a row. Why?  No really, why? This is the second day in a row my brain refuses to turn off for longer than a few hours. It's like half my brain wants to party and the logical side knows this is not a good thing.    As a mom of three on the first day of a new school year I am sitting in the family room in the dark thinking of all the things I can't do right now. I am also lamenting summer. Today summer break officially ends. At least I am up in time to get the kids to school.   I am not excited for today. It has a few milestones that we can not put off. I will not drive to the elementary school for the first time in eight years. I will be dropping my youngest off at middle school and my oldest at the high school. Also the middle child decided to go back to school so I will not be homeschooling this year.   In a few hours my kids will wake up and ...

Low Expectations

Mark and I took the kids a couple of years ago to Orlando for a weekend.  Nathan was less than a year old, Alexandra must have just turned 2 and Madison was 4.  I look back and laugh but at the time it was anything but funny.  A trip to Disney would be fun and relaxing right?  HA!  We never even made it to Disney because Madison was so ornery the day we were going to go I couldn't justify going.  We learned a lot about being parents of three young kids that weekend.   During our stay we took the kids to the Rainforest Cafe.  Nathan was terrified the whole meal and after our $75 lunch Madison threw up all over the table and floor.  That is when Mark made the rule we don't take the kids to a restaurant unless it has a drive thru, curbside doesn't count.  We really do stick to that rule and the only sit down "nice" restaurant we go to with the kids is Sonny's BBQ.  Before we left I wanted to get the kids a little something from the Disney Marketplace.  I took the...

Happy New Year!

Happy Anniversary to my parents that got married today many moons ago. Congratulations for over 30 years of marital bliss.   Updates... I know why you should have a realtor.  Too many emotions.  The people that looked out our house put it in their top 3 choices and today they go back to their other 2 choices.  We will see what happens.  I feel a low offer coming our way, if we get an offer at all.     Do you know how much work it is to keep a house walk thru ready?  I feel like we worked all day to get out for an hour and then we came home and trashed the place.     Tomungus, Nathan's new word.  What it means I'm not quite sure, but he thinks it is funny.  He says humongous and ginormous a lot so I think he just said one wrong.   The veggie garden is growing wild. We have tiny tomatoes, squash, zucchini and broccoli. I kinda hope we can get some veggie before we move.  If not I will have to start another garden the kids love it and it keeps them busy watering it.  Playing in  w...
