Dave has started his Monday night bowling league so as long as I can get all the kids to bed on time this might be my best time to post and have a little of my own time on the computer!!
I love fall! Spring always used to be my favorite season...that's the main reason why we chose to get married in the month of April I guess...but I realize now that Fall is my favorite--not sure why I've changed but I love the cool days, crisp nights and all the beautiful late blooming flowers. It was so beautiful out on Friday we just had to sit out back & enjoy it. I think the neighbors were all thinking the same thing as we invited a few over by yelling across the yard! One of the couples brought their three kids over so we had 3 boys & 3 girls ruling the house! The boys (not Triston of course) cleaned our kids' rooms because they couldn't believe how messy they were--why couldn't I be blessed with children like that? While the 3 girls had a tea party at the kitchen table with princess dresses on! True girls! All the while us adults solved the world's problems over a bonfire & some caramel marshmallows (these are to die for...Keri's farmer's market find) in the back yard. It was a nice evening.
Saturday we watched Triston play his 4th week of flag football. He was a little out of sorts for some reason so he wasn't enjoying himself or putting forth the effort as much as usual. It's really fun to watch him play (that is when the girls allow me to actually see what's going on). I sure get that proud mama feeling when he gets a touchdown, catches a pass, grabs a flag...pretty much any little thing! I can't wait until next year when he can play Midget FB - he's going to need to toughen up a little I think but he has a whole year to get ready for it. And speaking of FB...okay...never mind we won't talk about the Huskers! We'll see how the next game goes I guess!! But hey, how about Husker Volleyball - now they are great!!I love fall!

Sunday we headed to Norfolk to Poppy's Pumpkin Patch and out to eat. The kids all had an awesome time! We opted to skip trying out Vala's (which is near Omaha) as I knew Poppy's is perfect for the younger kids. I thought maybe Triston would be a little old but he had great time too. Maybe in a year or two we'll go to Vala's because I hear from everyone that it is awesome and well worth a trip. Someone was having a birthday party in the little diner they have at Poppy's...now how fun would that be? The kids' favorite activities were: Triston- Feeding the Goats & Pony Rides (he now wants a goat as a pet); Carmen- Feeding the Goats & the Slides; and even though Larkin couldn't tell us we know that it would be the Train Ride & Feeding the Goats for her! All in all it was a nice 'fall' weekend...and as a bonus I did get some laundry and house cleaning done also!!
