What We've Been Doing

This picture was stolen off the Evans' blog. Left to right - Goode's and their 2 kiddie-kins, us (abygail is wearing her new 'leash'), and the Evans...Stephanie (beside me) and I are due at the same time - look how big I am compared to her!

Last Saturday we went to the Pumpkin Farm. We got there late in the afternoon and it was SO crowded...we didn't have as much fun as last year but it was still worth it. Jackson loved the animals, Abygail loved the sand around the playground, Mommy enjoyed the hayride and Daddy, well, I'm not sure what part he enjoyed the most...probably picking out the pumpkins and running around with his cute little kiddie-kins.

(our camera is broken again and Abygail hasn't gotten around to repairing it so ... no pictures)

We picked out our pumpkins and I think this weekend we will paint them. One for Daddy, one for Mommy, Abygail picked one that was smaller than Jackson's and Jackson got one just smaller than Mommy's. We also got two tiny ones for the girls.

Another big event in our home...we finally got a dinning room table that will accommodate all of our current and future family (4 and 6 of us). We bought it from a friend that moved to Dallas! It's been so nice not using the card table and elbowing one another as we eat in our tiny breakfast nook. The kids have enjoyed drawing while sitting at the table and just hanging out. They are much more willing to stay and eat at the table now that it's not in a suffocatingly small space - and so am I!!!

Jason started riding his bike to school again so the kids and I have the car back (ya!). He finally got a follow-up appointment and seems to be healing wonderfully - he's released to full activity.

The fence is up in the back yard now so the kids and I have been enjoying that space more too. Jason got a fire pit and we roasted marshmallows for FHE on Monday night. It was a little cool so the fire was a welcome event.

It seems like there is more that happened this week, but I can't remember them. Thus is the brain/memory/mind of a double pregnant woman. (I wonder if you memory is truly hindered by the exact about of babies you have in your belly. I think it's true in my case.)

Here are some pics I took with my phone yesterday. Jackson picked the last of the tomatoes and ate them...that kid loves 'nomano'.
