What couches are really made for

This is what it looks like at my house most days: kids and cushions flying all over the place. Good thing I don't have the guts to buy a new couch.

I wanted to try a little photo shoot with Christmas lights - an idea I got off of Pinterest (they should really start paying me for how much I rave about them). Of course I don't know what I am doing so the photos are pretty grainy. My kids are cute though!



The Farm

 When October rolls around out here, "farms" become little carnivals. Admission is $10 to $15 each and you go inside to pet and feed live animals, take hay rides through haunted forests, ride slides and get photos behind wooden facades.

 On the hay ride Ruby said, "Look, it's Jesus!"

 I barely got a photo as the wagon rode past "Jesus." Who knows? Maybe he would have looked like that had he come across the Atlantic on the Mayflower and lived longer than 33 years.

She was not a fan of the odor coming from the cow stall.

 My kids were tolerable, at best, of the goats. Check out Ethan's reach to pet the animal while keeping a safe distance from it. I thought the little goats were adorable.

Ethan wasn't so sure about going down this one (but made us go do it again once he finally tried it).



Halloween 2011

I would write about how awesome our Halloween was this year but the photos do it justice.
