Pumpkin Patch and a Nap

Well, two things...first - I love the Pumpkin Patch in Flowermound. Always have. Last year was the only year I've ever missed going since Tyler was a baby. It's always fun, and it always wears me out. Can I get an "amen" from mother's with small children who disappear in hay mazes, wander around the wooden characters too quickly, and who have a very difficult time smiling right when you are trying to take that oh-so lovely perfect pumpkin patch picture?

Anyway, I met some girls from work there today - 3 of them have their first baby, the other one is the mom of Brady's best buddy, Rikki. I had Brady, Annie and Spencer, so I was in both "categories".

We had a good time even though the wind was a little much. I've seriously relaxed on my picture taking,plus I was either too busy pushing a stroller, managing a baby in a sling, or feeding said baby to have time for "the perfect pic"! Here's what I got:

This was the only picture on the hayride...I was feeding Spencer, so a sweet lady across from the kids took it for me. Notice the faces that look like, "Why should I say cheese for YOU, stranger??"Annie and Brady LOVED the merry-go-round. Probably one of the last ones in the state - liability, you know! ha! I watched two kids try to jump off and get trampled by the "pusher" while we were there. Hayden's not too fond of the "hay seat" we propped him up into...Spencer is passive and just slippin' on down...

"Here, Hayden - if we hold on to each other it will be over soon. Crazy ladies just want to snap a couple of pictures of us you know!"

What's really cool is these two little guys were born within one hour of each other...little tank and little peanut, full head of dark hair and barely there white stuff, dark eyes and blue eyes, but almost the exact same age!

Annie's favorite cut outs - she had me take her picture with each one separately!I think these two guys are the cutest 3 year olds around

These are the cute little mama's that I used to work with..I miss them. Katie (was Tyler's OT when he was a patient at OCH) and Lincoln, Lizze (fellow ST) and Carter, and Emily (PT) and Hayden

And I mentioned "a Nap" in the post title. The big boys came back from Christmas show practice Sunday and Tyler headed to bed for a little rest...he had a headache. This is what we found almost 2 hours later when it was time to head over to some friends' house:
I still think there's nothing as sweet as a sleeping baby...even when your baby is 8 years old and up to your chin! Love that sweet face.
