Afternoon at the Pumpkin Patch...

This afternoon, I had a lot of fun with my family. Here is a picture of me and my family..Ta da!!
This a South Florida version of a Pumpkin Patch. Did you really think we have real pumpkin farms out here!! Nope...Oranges yes...Pumpkins NOOOOOOO!!! It's Florida and I love it.
I grew up in New York so I'm a Northerner at heart and I miss the Fall season, watching the leaves turn color and the cold weather, all those beautiful things. So I try to do a lot of fall oriented activities with the kids (my oldest one anyway!!) and teach them about the changing seasons.
This picture was made possible by the kindness of strangers who offered to take the pic for us since they saw that we were taking turns taking pictures with the kids. I thank them whoever they are...you guys make a cute couple, who knows maybe one of them will stumble onto my blog....
I told my oldest son to pick any pumpkin he liked so we can bring home and carve.....

After carefully examining the crop...this is what my darling picked. Ahh yes, I almost forgot.
The Hat!! his school had a pretend airplane trip and he had to bring luggage and pack it with clues pertaining to his destination. My son said he was going to NYC,so we packed. He went to school all decked out in his pilots cap and his junior wings. He takes after his daddy!! he he





Now, here is my baby...
It's his first Halloween and we are enjoying doing all this all over again with him. I am extremely happy to have him and since I dont intend to have anymore children, I'm trying to take it all in and not miss a detail.

"Isn't he cute!!!!!!!"
I am in love with my children and I feel so blessed everyday of my life when I look at the beautiful family God has given me the privilege to have. Now, I look forward to Halloween and trick or treating with my hubby and the boys.
Till next time dear bloggers...muah

We read "I'm a Big Brother now"

Last night after a long day of running around to my oldest sons t-ball game, grandmas house, the mall and the Oh so dreaded trip to the supermarket with the baby and him. We were pretty tired, but my son regardless of how tired he may be, always always has to be read to in bed. So, I decide to read the book "I'm a big brother now" Since We had a baby in July and he is still learning about babies. This book helps the child with understanding that because there is a new baby in the house and they require a lot of attention. It does not mean that Mommy and Daddies love for them has changed. It helps to reassure him. My son has done really well in all this, he loves his baby brother and does not seem to be too jealous. When I finished, I asked my son;
me: "what do you like best about being a big brother?"
he quickly replied;
B: "eating bananas, apples, pop tarts and Ice cream!"
me: ha hahah hahah ah
then he is quickly dozing off but then I guessed he remembered one more thing he liked; I'm thinking he is going to say something about the baby, but;
B: "ooh yeah and drink juice too!"
and before I could say anything back he was complete knocked out. Kids are so precious and just when you think you're going to get a straight answer out of them, they manage to surprise you. I love it.
