John and Tina Plus Three: Pumpkin Patch

Pumpkin Patch

We have been super sick at our house. We have had strep throat, the flu and I thought I had mono, again. I went to the doctor and had my blood drawn and got the results today. They said I had mono in my system but that it was no longer active. Okay, whatever that means!?! All I know is that I was so sick, my hair hurt. Literally my hair hurt. I had the worst body aches and nausea that I have had in a long time. Well since the last time I had mono. There were a few times I felt so weak, I thought I was going to pass out. Apparently I am a carrier of mono and can get it more than once. I think this is about my fourth time having it. I have gotten it every time my kids start kindergarten and got it last summer too. I pray that I never get it again. Dealing with household chores, field trips and carpools I almost had a nervous breakdown. Luckily, I have a great hubby and he filled in where I was needed. ♥

We are feeling better, for the most part, and decided to go to the Pumpkin Patch. We have a great pumpkin patch by our house!

The little pumpkins are always a big hit with my kids.

Jassy and her baby pumpkin.

Olivia wants to paint this one to look like a skeleton.

Damon picked this one.

Don't they look thrilled to pose for me?

Corn Maze

After going to the pumpkin patch the kids wanted to go home to put the Halloween decorations up and to put funny faces on their pumpkins.

Oh, now you want me to take your picture!?!

Damon and Jassy decorated the pumpkins.

The one with the eyebrows is Daddy, "since he always grounds them." Jassy is the witch. Olivia is the one with all the teeth and I'm the one on the stand holding the spiders.

Damon made his pumpkin to look like him. He used a plastic eyebrow to make spiky hair. I'm not sure why he choose a pig nose, but I think it is really cute!

Liv-The Drama Queen

Liv is really smart. She loves going to school and hanging out with her friends. She is really excited about learning to play the Recorder this year. She is a huge "Smarty Pants" and has a come-back to everything I say. She helps me out a ton with the two little ones, who both admire everything about her. She tells really, really, really long stories (sometimes I have to remind myself to be patient.) She acts every detail out and changes her voice for the different characters in her story. She has a talent for getting anyone around her all hyped and rawled up. The house is usually quiet until Liv arrives. She is such a "Drama Queen." She spends most of her time making the two little ones re-enact a movie that they just watched. I think she is going to be a Movie Director or a Teacher when she grows up.

DayDay aka Prince Charming

Damon is a real sweetheart. We call him DayDay for short. He is a very sensitive guy and is tuned into everyone's feelings. He tries very hard not to hurt anyone and really wants everyone around him to be happy. He loves to cuddle and gives the best "Bear Hugs." He's already embrassed to hold my hand or kiss me in public. He doesn't love going to school but is really good at it and tested above grade level. He is a "home-body," crowds and a lot of noise over-whelm him. He loves wearing soft clothes and would stay in his jammies all day if I let him. He can memorize a movie after watching it just once. He quotes lines from movies and even uses them in the right context. He is always making us laugh and is quite "The Charmer."

The King & Queen

I have been a stay-at-home Mom for almost 10 years. I love being a wife and a mom. I am very blessed to be able to stay at home. I really, really, really love my life and my home! The kids are amazing and being able to watch them grow is so much fun. They change everyday. I love making crafts and cards. Photography is a hobby that I am still learning and I spend a lot of my time reading and learning new techniques as well as learning Photoshop. I should say that I spend most of the time trying to figure out my damn camera!!!

John is a brillant man. He is self-employed and has many talents. Taking out the trash is not one of them, but I love him anyway. John enjoys watching sports and plays football whenever he gets a chance. He is an amazing dancer and is always the center of attention at a party. His son is his protege.

Chloe-Puppy Royalty

Chloe is the puppy Santa Claus brought for the kids this past Christmas. She is an Imperial Shih-Tzu. She was abandoned by her mother and then was raised by a Persian Cat. When she first came home she even meowed. Now days she spends most of her days "cat napping" and sitting on the back of the couch looking out the window. She is very playful and hates to be left alone. Her hobbies include hanging out the window of a moving vehicle and playing with her boyfriend-Mugsy. She is spoiled beyond belief and acts like "Royalty."
