We packed up all three kids and drove a few miles down the road to pick out a few pumpkins. Within minutes of piling out of the car, the twins were crying, and Ledger was on the ground screaming due to a huge goose egg on his forehead, we’re still not sure how what happened. Once we paid for the pumpkins and were all back in the car, Pat and I just looked at each other, shook our heads, and then busted up laughing. Oh how our life has changed.
This was the only picture picking pumpkins due to all the chaos.
Once the five of us, along with our pumpkins were on the road, Pat and I decided to make a trip out to the cemetery. It was nice to get out of the house and spend some time as a family. We don’t know how long Ledger will be thrilled to visit the cemetery, so we’re taking full advantage of this stage.
We then attempted to carve the pumpkins, but due to total chaos, we only finished one. The other two sat on our front steps hallowed out, just not carved.
While Pat and Ledger worked on the pumpkins, I tried consoling these two.
Though it was way more work then it was probably worth, I’m glad we picked and carved a pumpkin. Ledger was thrilled with the end results.
Laughter will carry you along way together!!! Keep up the good work and keep laughing!! God Bless
ReplyDeleteYou are such great parents. And it feels so much better to laugh at times like that rather than scream! The little guy on the floor crying with his brother next to him brings back memories! Those early days sure are trying. It's a good thing they're so darn cute, right!?
ReplyDeleteCute hair
ReplyDeletethe attempt is a Victory in its self! Little ones for sure make life full of those (Shaking your head) moments. :) My 3 boys are a handful at times especially when Our little girl is crying but sometimes it makes me thankful for just being at home after the adventure is over ha ha. :)
ReplyDeleteI remember the first time my husband and I went out to eat after our twins were born. Ten minutes into it we were wondering why in the world we ever decided to leave the house!
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like it was all worthwhile!
ReplyDeleteYour days sound about as chaotic as mine. It's an adventure everyday!
Your hair color is beautiful! :)
ReplyDeleteLedger will remember. That's what counts. You're great parents! I admire you.
ReplyDeleteI agree, I love the hair color...though as a blonde, you rock it too! I guess we are a lot alike. We both have oscillated between colors! I am sticking to platinum...cheaper, I can do it myself, and I think it fits me! LOL Truly, what a blessing to visit her gravesite on these occasions. When we first moves, there were pictures on all the holidays sent to us of someone who remembered...either my twin or the grandparents. Now, I don't think there are many visits. ALL I want is for someone to go and wash the headstone on occasion...it lies beneath a tree, and birds poop on it all the time. Ugh, now the remembering is stirring up tears. Funny how it comes unpredictably, and the tears just fall like rain. Love you guys.
