Happy "Belated" Halloween

Sometimes life just gets too crazy and there isn't enough time in the day to do everything that needs to be done.  Trying to catch up on things now.....

We had a great Halloween trick-or-treating.

Fall sky...

I just love this time of year. 
The sky was so gorgeous the other day.
I loved the blue sky, the gray clouds and the trees without leaves.

Another Day At The Park...

A Gorgeous Day At The Park....

Just too funny....Cousin Time

Trying to get a 4 year old, a 3 year old and a 7 month old to cooperate for 5 minutes to get a picture is asking a lot.  No one wanted to cooperate at the same time.  It was definitely very interesting and amusing.  I was at least able to catch a memorable moment in time.  With no further-a-do here are the best 3 shots of the 5 minute photo shoot....they make me laugh.

You want me to look where???

Will this work???

At least I got a smile from my nephew :)

Here is to next time.....



Fall Happenings

Tis the season for Pumpkin Picking.....
This year's seletion of Pumpkins was very slim....
What Pumpkins we could find in the field were very small or big and smashed.....

We had fun anyways and were able to find a tiny pumpkin for Samantha and a decent size one to carve.

Imagination....

I love Samantha's Imagination.  Today she was very interested in playing with her games.  We went from playing UNO Moo to Go Fish to Candyland to finally one of her new games Zingo.  When I was setting up the game she went and got her two stuffed friends - TinkerBear and Blueberry - and told me that they were going to play too.  She was so adorable - she had a conversation with each of them explaining them the game and then she sat one on either side of her and gave them each a game board.  We then proceeded to play the game for about a half hour with both Blueberry and TinkerBear each winning at least one game.

Beauty...

 This is my wish for you:

Comfort on difficult days, smiles when sadness intrudes, rainbows to follow the clouds, laughter to kiss your lips, sunsets to warm your heart, hugs when spirits sag, beauty for your eyes to see, friendships to brighten your being, faith so that you can believe, confidence for when you doubt, courage to know yourself, patience to accept the truth, Love to complete your life.

The gorgeous Sunset was at Sunset Beach, Cape May NJ.

It was a cloudy/rainy day and right around dusk the clouds dispersed so we headed over to Sunset Beach to see if we could catch the sunset.
