some fun we've had...

last year. FREEZING... littler kids. a different location. same friends! we got to be there with (most of) the b fam again!

i lost this girl today. she was playing in this little play house. i was standing 10 feet away in line for the face painting. she was supposed to come over to me. soon, i realized that i hadn't seen her blonde head in the house recently. (i was, in fact, watching!!) in the sea of red shirts, i couldn't find her. thankfully, one of the teacher's did, and it was only seconds of panic. but, my girl was scared. she was so sad for so long. i was so thankful!

loving the view...

i just loved this shot!!!

does your pumpkin patch look like this??

enjoying the corn maze...

fearlessly foraging her way in the maze.

hmmm... which way now???

getting her arm painted.

all he wanted to do all day was pick a pumpkin.

picking pumpkins... (they lay them out every morning, pick up the unused ones every night. yes, they do get shipped in from the mainland.)

love this man!

picking out their pumpkins...

on the hayride...

that is rabbit island. in the ocean. that we could see from the pumpkin patch. it RAINED. and RAINED for awhile this morning. but it kept the temps down, so it was really nice for the morning! so much fun! david ran into a classmate of his from usna, and his daughter is one of jamey's "girls". (since you can't be a buddy if you are a girl, according to a certain four year old.)

on the hayride...

at the navy ball with fish... a friend from newport, and her hubs...

my sweet kids and the costumes they got this weekend! thanks mom-mom!!

she is a HUGE fan of this new ariel costume!!

and he runs around proclaiming, "i am buzz lightyear"!!

such a fun weekend. when we woke up this morning, nora was SHOCKED that daddy was home and asked, "why are you home all week?". it was so sweet. we are so glad he got to be with us on the pumpkin patch field trip today...

tonight, we replanted my veggies. in a sweet planter my hubby made! i will take a pic tomorrow. can't wait! nora's super excited! we've been eating tomato soup all week, using herbs from our garden. she loves it. and is excited that everything we will grow is gluten free! she can't wait to pick it!!
