We took the kids the other day to Bates Nut Farm. It was a nice, crisp autumn day -- the temperature was only 95 degrees when we stepped out of the car! We went with the Sharp family which made the whole day more fun . . . the boys love Miley and Madisen. The daddy's took the kids on the tractor ride and the corn maze and we all searched for the best pumpkins to carve that night. It was Selah's first pumpkin patch outing which was so fun since I call her my little "punkin'". That night when we were carving pumpkins we had the boys feel inside the pumpkins before we started scraping them out. We had the chance to talk about how yucky it was inside, just like our insides before we have Jesus in our heart. We put a candle inside and learned how Jesus gives us his light for all to see. We had such a great afternoon and now the boys are more excited than ever to be Darth Vader and Thomas the Train on Friday night for Halloween!

So cute! We carved our pumpkins last night and Brennen refused to put his hand inside the yuckiness. So Type-A/OCD! (Olivia would have swam in it if she could.) We talked about the Christian version of the jack o' lantern too and Brennen said he didn't have that kind of yuckiness in him! Oh, how wrong he is! ;)
Kelley--Glad to see y'all joining the blogging ranks. Definitely great for keeping up on the kids' goings-on. We'll add your link to our site (Abbey does most of the kid-posting there).
