A corn maze is really exciting when you pretend you are being chased by the minotaur!!!
This picture cracks me up. The pumpkin didn't fall from the sky, Rocky fell off it.
Pumpkin patch.
I feel like I should weigh my children before and after they pick apples, then pay for the difference! The leaves are just starting to change. I can't wait to see what a New England fall looks like! Happy leaf peeping! My daddy comes to visit tomorrow....YIPPEE!!!
My dear friend from high school and her darling family came to visit us. We played hard, had a sleepover, and went to Yankee Candle Flagship in Deerfield, MA. Our kids hit it off swimmingly and had oh so much fun together. We played hard and laughed until we cried. Luckily they don't live far away, we can't wait to play with the Giles family again soon!
$550 for the car, baby priceless...
Dang, I was looking for a bigger billows...
Perfect, I needed a naked Greek statue...
Look who is almost 2...
The ladies (minus Jennifer, we missed her)...
Picture the biggest flea market you have ever seen and multiply that by 100. That will give you a small idea of how big the Brimfield Antique Show is. They say if you can't find it at Brimfield, they don't make it! People come from all over to be part of this unique antique experience. I saw some crazy stuff to put it mildly! Any of those random things you need for projects, Brimfield has them. The best part was being with my girlfriends and my chunky monkey.
My big pups went back to school last week. We had a great summer, I miss having them around more! Both kids have great teachers. We are really excited for this school year. Rocky asks several times a day where every one went, he really misses having his pals around. 
I can't surprise my kids anymore with the first day of school surprise party. They would be shocked if I didn't have the party.
No gas...
No bread...
No flashlights...
No water...
We are patiently waiting for Irene to come visit. Hurricane Irene that is. The map shows the current storm and the red dot is where we live. At this point, it is headed right at us as a category 1 hurricane. The projected time is tomorrow at 2pm. We keep getting rain on and off as the outer arms of the hurricane rotate over us. So much can happen in the next 24 hours, but needless to say we will be getting a lot of rain! We have no clue what to expect. We have food, water, fuel, batteries, flashlights and lots of home made bread. I hope we are ready.
We have been living it up all week long!!!
We checked out the Basketball Hall of Fame in Springfield, MA. Tickets are normally super pricey, so we went on the FREE DAY (along with the rest of Western Mass!). Ruby LOVES basketball, she really enjoyed hooping it up! I loved the old fashioned "onsies" the players used to wear. I am hoping they wore shorts over them!
Have you ever wanted to eat one of your babies? Confession: I have to hold back every day!!!
We are blessed to have AWESOME neighbors, again!!
Can you make your hair do that?
3 of us moms and all of our girls did a gals trip to New York. It was so fun hanging out with my favorite girl. It was also nice not to have to worry about strollers, naps and diaper bags! We had so much fun. I am very thankful for fabulous girlfriends!!!
A friend of ours took us to these beautiful waterfalls that work as waterslides. It was breathtaking! My dudes also tried rock climbing. They were awesome!!!
Man I am a lucky mom. I sure love my 3 little chickens!!!
Our sweet friends made Matt this awesome Lego cake for his birthday.
We scored 2 giant rolls of paper. The kids had hours of fun making banners for daddy's birthday. Ruby got frustrated with Rocky for spilling water on the banner, so she decided to paint his face for him!
