So mom, these are for you. Love

I WON!!!

If you have known me for any amount of time you know I never win anything, Mark wins everything. So much to my surprise I won something. I have been following a blog called Simple Mom Reviews for a while now. They review awesome products and let all their readers have a chance to win one, they also add a coupon code so you can get a discount even if you don't win. As I got online this evening, there it was, Congrats Hyde Family. AHAHAH I was so excited. I have one a Greentainer. We all know I am obessed with lunch boxes so this fits perfectly with my obession.

Whatever makes you happy

Will loves to dress up. We have numerous costumes and he wears a new one almost daily. Well on our daily bike ride he decided to wear a "costume". I wish I had taken a picture of the full costume which included white gloves. I don't understand why he would want to wear all of this but he does and he did, whatever makes him happy.

At least one of my children was dressed alright.

Playing with the Camera

Lately while Will naps and before Cooper goes down I have been messing around with my camera. I usually just read the manual and get more confused but it has been a little productive. I hope this Spring to take a class at the college to help me really use the camera to its fullest ability. Yes I know most of the pictures are blurry but it is part of me learning.

Pumpkin Patch

Last week Ms. Pascha, Gabe and Olive joined us for a walk to the Pumpkin Patch. McFarlin church sells the most beautiful pumpkins every year as a fundraiser. There are big ones, small ones, green, orange, white and even bumpy ones. Will had fun looking at all of them and really enjoyed crawling on them to find the perfect one. I hope we can make this an annual event. The pumpkins are looking beautiful on the front porch and I will get a picture posted soon. Happy Fall Everyone.

Cooper and Olive walked over in Pascha's stroller and I pulled the big boys in the wagon.

Will and Gabe - they did a great job stopping for pictures

Are these boys not the sweetest? Will's haircut looks awesome and he was such a good helper hold Cooper. Cooper looks so big to me in this picture.

And here is Mr. Good Eater. Look at those cheeks!
