Loving the Weather

Oh, I am sooo loving this weather we are having. I love the cool, crisp air, and the leaves changing colors. We decided to try to enjoy as much of this weather as we could. Gracie was on Fall Break, so on Friday we decided to go to the Library, go to the Park and take Daddy some lunch. Grace and Izabelle had such a wonderful time, not to mention Mommy. I love just being goofy and try to be a kid again. By time we got home we were exhausted. Izabelle took a 3 hour nap while Grace and I got stuff ready for our Yard Sale. Mentioning the Yard Sale we had some buyers but overall was a total flop. So, I am having it again on Friday and Saturday, this time I won't forget to post it in the newspaper. Saturday, Matt was working that morning, so after he got off work we went to Lark Ranch. We have never been there before, so we didn't know what to expect when we got there. For those that haven't been there before, bring $$$$, because you pretty much have to pay for everything. Gracie of course wanted to do everything. So, she rode the barrel train (whatever you call it). Then we went to see the Farm Animals, which were goats, geese, and chickens. Matt was hoping for some cows or more farm animals. There were other little activities that they were able to do. They had this huge slide, a tractor made out of wood that you could climb on, which a wood wagon behind it, and of course the CORN MAZE. We had a blast in there. Of course we let Gracie lead the way. She kept asking Matt if he had the map and to make sure we were going the right way. After a few trial and errors, Grace decided that she needed the map and not Daddy. She looked at the map and said "Dad, you had the map upside down". Well, I guess that is why we were getting lost. Izabelle really didn't care to much of the maze itself, but she loved picking up the kernels off the path and the corn cobs and chewing on them. After we finally made it out of the maze, we were all hungry and Matt was going to treat us with a Funnel cake, but the wait was 30 minutes, so we decided to go to Diary Masters (my favorite place). We ate, played some at the house, then headed to Wal-Mart to get a few things. Came out with more than what we went in for. You can't go to Wal-Mart with out seeing people you know. I saw a lady and her daughter from my work, then Matt saw our future neighbors, the Sanders, on the way out we hear a honk, and GRACIE. We turned around and sure enough it was Shane our Babysitter's little boy, yelling at Grace. So, we stopped and talked to them for a bit. And headed home. Sunday, we went to church, came home, ate lunch, took a nap, Matt went hunting, and the girls' and I went for a walk, and played outside before supper. Grace has a Dora the Explorer battery powered jeep (1 seater) and Izabelle loves to crawl in and out of it. So, I got it out and Grace took off in it, I went into the garage and I hear laughing, came out and I saw Gracie holding Izabelle and driving the Jeep. It was to funny. They were laughing so hard. Well, then Grace decided to lay her on her lap and drive like that. Well that didn't work to well. Then Grace put Izabelle in and sat in the back of it and pushed Izabelle's foot down to make it go. I couldn't help but laugh and help them decide what would be the best way to drive this thing with two people on it. After that, we played pretend. We pretended to be on an Island and jumped into the water and went swimming. Now, it's Monday and have to WORK:( I am looking out my window wishing the day would go by fast, so that I can go home to enjoy the Fall weather with my family and go to Dance practice. I will post pictures of the girls. Until Next time... Jess
