Snake starts with S

Alex: "Snake starts with S, soap starts with S, and shoe starts with S."
Carter: "And fox starts with S."

Carter just wanted to contribute to the conversation. It was very funny, and he was sure he was right. :)

Pumpkin Hunting

My family and I went pumpkin hunting yesterday and the boys had a great time picking out their pumpkins.  Alex found his right away, one with a long twisted stem on it.  Carter had a little harder time finding the right one, and I think it had a lot to do with how heavy the pumpkin was.  He would pick one up and we would say, "is that the one you like?" Without saying anything he would put it down and look for another pumpkin, and each time the pumpkin would be a little smaller and a better shape to handle.  Finally he found one and he carried it until we were ready to pay for it.
While I was looking for a few gourds to use as decoration the boys went over to the area where they kept goats.   Kyle pointed out that the goats have slits instead of circles in their eyes, Alex thought that was pretty neat.  The boys were really excited to see a goat for the first time, and they were even brave enough to pet them.
When we were leaving Carter said his favorite part of the pumpkin hunting was seeing the goats.

Getting old

Time flys when you are having fun.  We have been so busy these past few weeks and of course I get more behind on the blog.
Oh well. :)
I don't usually think about how old I am, but Carter got me thinking about it the other day.  I was in the kitchen getting supper ready when Carter comes up to me and brushes his hand down the side of my leg and says, "mommy are you getting older?"  I told him that I am getting older everyday. :)
I must have looked really worn out and tired to him.  I hope my looks aren't aging too fast.
