Chesterfield Berry Farm trip

What a busy/exciting day we had. First we had a soccer game against a coach who REQUESTED to play our team. So much so that he called the league office and did some switching of BOTH of our schedules just so he could play our team. This coach is very, um, enthusiastic, to put it mildly and there were times where this "guy" would be yelling so loud that Paul and I would jerk our heads aound to see if something was wrong with one of the kids. Anyways, we did not win, but we only lost by like 3 or 4 (no we do not keep score at this age, but I was curious as to what the outcome would be). After that we went straight to the Berry Farm. Of course, on Thursday in was in the upper 80's and we were in shorts. Today we all but needed winter coats.
My parents came with us to the berry farm and that was nice. (Dad came in very handy at the pumpkin patch as I always get 3 pumpkins for the 3 of us :-) and he helped carry the "daddy" pumpkin). After that and the soccer game he was very worn out. Went straight home and hung out with Daddy while I did my grocery shopping. Of course I have a few pics. I'll try to keep them at a minimum, but hey! it IS MY blog. ;-)

Horseback riding (he LOVED this)

Thought of Kim the "how tall are you"

My annual lets try and pick up the biggest pumpkin in the field pic :-)

Thanks for reading and if you stop by, leave a comment for me! :-)

While I'm at it...

Tyler has his very first school pictures tomorrow. Am I the only one obsessing on picking just the right outfit for the pictures?? It doesn't help that they are making me choose a package sight unseen (or pictures unseen), although, they do state that if I am not happy with them they will retake them on their retake day (and after that if I'm still not happy my money back). So, not only do I have to choose a package (and the package selections suck btw, none of them are exactly what I would want) but I also have a choice of background colors!!! Have mercy! While I'm usually not this indecisive (at least I don't THINK I am ;-)) I apparently do not do well with choices when I can't actually SEE them myself. Sure, they sent home a pamphlet with "sample" pictures of kids on each background it's not MY kid or my kids clothes on the backgrounds, KWIM??? Try asking DH his opinion. He's of little help. I just dont think that men care that much about stuff like this. He gave a few opinions, but he knows that i'm going to make a decision myself, eventually.
Anybody else had first pictures yet and have the same thoughts or is it just me?? :-)

Scooby-Dooby-DOOOOOOO!!!

It's a birthday party!! Yes, it IS a few weeks early for the party, but, when you "win" a free one, you take what date you can get. In our case, October 11th it was. The foursome had a really good time, and it was a great mix of the kids from the soccer team. They all had a blast as witnessed here:

AND HERE!

And then there was the awesome Scooby Doo cake my sister did for him!


See all the sprinkles? She asked if he liked sprinkles and I mentioned that he LOVED sprinkles. He REALLY loved the cake. Scooby-Doo (one of those edible image things - thank you Ebay) AND covered in sprinkles?!?! What could be better than that?

Now, 2 more weeks and there'll be cupcakes. This time he says he wants Wall-E. Sigh. :-)
