Our Fun-Filled Fall

We've enjoyed the month of October...the beginning of fall has been in the air. It has been cool in the mornings and on the perfect days...it has stayed cool all day. We look forward to more of those kind of days. It's been a busy month so I'll just highlight with a few pictures from some of our fun-filled fall days!

"Emma-isms"

Emma has been really funny lately. Just a few funny things she has said....

**"Mom, 2 of my legs hurt." What is that about??? How many legs does Emma have? 8-)

**I was asking Emma to help me out with dinner. I filled each plate and asked her to carry them to the table to each place. I handed her the first plate, she looked at it, and commented "Mom, I can't! There are clouds above the food!" I guess steam does look like clouds, huh?

**Emma & I both get confused about the days. I get mixed up on which day of the week we are on. Emma has other confusing issues. She asks me almost daily, "Mom, is today tomorrow? Is tomorrow today?"

Crazy about my Cousins!

Emma had a great day last Thursday at my mom's house. My nephews, Hudson & Sam, were there staying for a few days. My cousins, Laurie & Lanier, brought their kids, Jimbo and Adeline over for a morning of playtime. We had a great morning watching all the kids play together. That's one thing I love about living near family. It's great to be able to spend time with my cousins and their kids. I want Paul, Addie, & Emma to grow up close to their cousins, too! It was a fun day!




The popsicles were a big hit!

Extreme Praise

Our church, Ingleside Baptist, has Extreme Worship for kids kindergarten - 5th grade. Their worship service deals with a virtue of the month and consists of songs led by the Extreme Praise Team, skits, a teaching time, and boy-girl challenges. Paul & Addie serve on the Extreme Praise Team which means once a month they are in the group that leads worship for their peers. They are really enjoying being a part of the Extreme Praise Team.




Fun at the Fair

The Georgia National Fair is something our family looks forward to every year. We all look forward to it for different reasons. The kids love it because of the fun rides, Glenn loves it so he can walk around and "check the redneck carnival chicks", and I love it for the fair food. You just can't beat eating...the corn dog, a caramel apple, a piece of the roasted corn, an apple dumpling with vanilla ice cream, the curly, greasy french fries, the fried pickles, and turkey leg...on one occasion. It doesn't get any better than that! 8-)

This year we went to the fair with our best friends, Michael, Laurie & Max. The kids had so much fun with Max! We enjoyed the circus, the petting zoo, the rides, and of course, the fair food!
