What Ho, What Ho

Today we shall go 

to the land far South below.

For this holiday of turkey

What Ho,  What Ho.

Today we say goodbye

and the cold shall be gone.

For Wednesday we arrive

in the warmth of Tucson.

Fall in Pictures

Here are a few pictures of what we (Elise) have been up to this fall...

Benson Sculpture Garden

We stopped at this park for a picnic lunch after our pumpkin picking. It has the most amazing collection of 123 sculptures. I am not sure how to artists feel about our kids climbing on their art, but we hope they take it as a compliment to their work. Here are a few of my favorite sculptures and pictures.

Happy Birthoween

Tim turned the big 30 last night. Yes, his actual birthday is Halloween. He says growing up he thought it was great, birthday cake and candy all in one night, it is every kids dream! Well, since Elise is cuter than me I let her do the honor of singing! Happy Birthday Tim!

MY Ten Minutes

Recently we heard the director of a single moms group say that she gives each mom 10 minutes for a pity party and they have to move on and deal with life. Well, today I need my ten minutes. I started this blog at 2:14pm, it is now 2:17, and I seven minutes before I have to move on and deal with life. So what has got me to this state a constipated, overtired, doesn't want to walk, can only whine requests, 3 1/2 year old, an upcoming doctor visit, customer service at the doctors office and car dealer ship, my new MOPS group, missing my old MOPS group/friends, a sermon from Sunday that is just sticking with me, a quote from my profound husband that is just not leaving my mind. I could go on and on, but I have one minute left. I don't need answers, help, or input, I just need to have my ten minutes and now I will move on and deal with life.

2nd Annual Osborne Pumpkin Patch

This was actually my first trip to the Osborne Pumpkin Farm, last year Elise went without me. It was great day for pumpkin picking. Although I don't have any pictures of anyone actually picking a pumpkin we did come home with some pretty cute pumpkins. Elise true to form found a small white pumpkin which she carried around the entire patch. Thanks to Aunt Naomi's wonderful suggestion Elise now wants to paint her pumpkin rather than carve it.
(PS. I could get the pictures to move around so they are in reverse order for the event of the day.)
