Pumpkin Patch '09

Sunday was a beautiful day for the
Pumpkin Patch!
We made our annual trek to Kulhwein's (which has gotten quite expensive...) and had a great time on the hayride, in the corn maze and walking in the muddy pumpkin patch.

A man there with his 2 daughters
asked me to take a family picture of them,
and was nice enough to return the favor.
1st time we've had a picture of all of us there together.

Miss Ella looking all toothless and golden.

I always love being in the cornfield looking up on a blue sky day.
I like the contrast between the colors.

Even though Silas looks like such a big boy to me these days,
he still looks tiny in the middle of the corn maze.


Silas James lugging his perfect pumpkin around.

Ella on her pony ride. His name was Tony (for real).

Silas on his pony - his name was Gizmo (so says Si)

A quick flashback - this is one of my favorite pumpkin picking
photos of Mason (2002, age 7)

And 7 years later...Mason has a new hat that he likes to wear.
He's cool like that.

It was a perfect pumpkin picking day - sunny, not too cold, great colors...beautiful,
beautiful, beautiful. One of the reasons that it's my favorite time of year!!

Homecoming


Mr. Mason got all gussied up for his 9th grade Homecoming. NO date...apparently the thing is to just go with a group of friends. Fine by me! He looked very handsome, none the less.

Mason and Justin...no resemblance there at all...

All 3 of my boys

I tried to get him to take me as his date.
I probably still have my Homecoming dress...
I feel really short next to him!
Looking all GQ meets Pottery Barn

He said he had a great time - apparently he even danced :-) It's starting to sink in that my kid is in High School. Zoinks!! (yes, we watch Scooby Doo about 12 times a day around here).

Hmmmm....

This was in the preschool newsletter today...why do I feel like Mrs. P is talking directly to ME?

"Playgroups this week were, Kitchen area
and block area. In the kitchen we made
each other dinner, coffee, cake. I found
out who’s moms drink coffee, tea or just
beer and wine. You never know what your
child might say."



Silas swears that his mommy only drinks TEA!

More pictures than words


I know that I've posted a LOT of Cleo pictures lately but this cat is just a trip. She sprawls like a Playboy pin-up.


rrrhhhh, growl like a Tiger girl!

Mr. Silas does NOT have a death grip on her -
she is quite happy to be there in his embrace...
really.

And this is NOT a pity shot of Zoe...who never gets a picture taken any more...

We've laid out blankets, kitty beds, etc - she likes the PopTart box...
to each her own.

though Ella did try to go around saying
"kitten for sale...5 dolla kitten for sale..."

And this is a tree. And a really pinky sky...2 of my favorite things.

I've had a very rough time taking pictures lately. My most favorite lens is going to have to be shipped off for repair. It just bit the dust which bums me out greatly. But I have a plan...

Adorable


Watching Marley and Me yesterday (for the 100th time over the weekend)...

Silas: Is Marley cute?
Me: yes, he is cute - he's adorable.
Si: what does adorable mean?
Me: it means very, VERY cute
Si: I'M adorable...aren't I?
