Summer's gone, fall's here.

I haven't been the last two years to our local apple orchard with my girls, so this was the year. I took Samantha along to Emily's field trip. Last week was an "off" week for me and once I tripped with Sam in my arms I should have just gone home then. Unfortunately I stayed and it was not fun. I chased Sam around and tried to keep her from fighting with the other kids. They all wanted to push the same stroller. It wasn't horrible, but I now have massive bruises on my knees from the fall. I was holding Samantha so I couldn't use my arms to catch myself, it was all knees. What a klutz. The next day my tooth broke and I had to go in for a crown. Having five children didn't prepare me for the pain that came from the prep for this crown. The dentist was not as great with the numbing as I would have liked. She got into one of my jaw muscles and a week later I still can't open my mouth very well. Why would anyone want to be a dentist???? I have to go in next week for the crown and I am already having nightmares. Pray for me.
We did get some cute pictures of the orchard. The pumpkin patch field trip is right around the corner. That is my favorite.

The tour guide, Nolly, the apple lady.

You're so funny! Makes me feel better about my trips and my crown. I hate the dentist! Can't even imagine you thinking about going to the pumpkin patch - are you crazy? Or leaving Sam home? Amy Jo

Nice, she was the sweetest and oldest tour guide ever.

Amy - I will probably bring Samantha to the pumpkin patch just because I am that kind of mother. Hopefully she will be in a better mood and who doesn't love a hay ride?

Sorry about the tooth, not fun! We should get Sam and Eliza together some time for a playdate Eliza needs to play with girls rather than just her brother....might teach her that there are other things than wrestling, banging, hammering and cars to play.
