Pumpkin Carving

The Miller/ Barr trip to the apple orchard!

Getting us to the apple orchard was like herding cats, but we made it! We love Country Basket on Alpine and 9 mile not to far from mom and Mikes in Rockford. Eleven kids and Eleven adults. It was fun! The kids had a great time and I think the highlight of the day for the kids were the bunnies! I heard each kid ask their parents to get a bunny for their house, Ha! good luck with that! (ask Santa!)

We went on hayrides and picked pumpkins and then went back to Grandma and Grandpas house. They let us roast hotdogs on the fire pit in the back yard and we also had chili and donuts and apple cider for dessert! I love this time of year and look forward to this trip with my family every year. We have been going to an apple orchard every fall with the kids since Jack and Charli were babies!

He Had Me In Stitches!

Evan got stitches this week! If monday wasn't already fun filled I got to spend the afternoon in the urgent care with Evan. We were dropping Georgia off to school and at her preschool there is a huge fish tank in the lobby that the kids love to sit on the benches in front of it and watch. This fish tank is the incentive to leave Georgia and go because really he would like to stay and play with sister and her classroom. So, everyday Evan runs down the hall to the bench to see the fish. Well, monday he ran right into the little benches in front of the tank and hit his mouth. OUCH! His teeth went through his front lip! I saw this and knew right away that we wouldn't be going home for our normal nap. We went to urgent care in Grandville at 1:00 and didn't see a Dr. till 2:45!!!! To say I wasn't happy was an understatement. I had hold him down while the nurse had his head and he screamed bloody murder! I will never go back to that place. I cried like a baby watching and listening to him. I hate seeing my babies hurt. Evan is okay and keeps trying to mess with his stitches, good thing he only needs to have them for five days.
