Well our favorite pumpkin patch got moved. But it was such a delight to find it closer and had almost all the same goodies as before. As usual Farmer Ganyard was full of information on how to remove mold from the pumpkins, how many TONS of corn were in the corn roll and how the flour makes your feet soft after a tumble. Thankfully the girls still haven’t outgrown it and I hope they never do…

We’ve got Braces!
Well Katie had been fighting me for over two years that although the dentist insisted she needed braces and all the X-rays in the world showing a tooth coming in right behind her other permanent tooth she still insisted that she would NEVER get braces. As it happens I told the girls only 3 horse shows per year but low and behold the horse show of horse shows is coming at the end of the year at the convention center no less. She offers a deal… “I’ll get braces if you let me do the horse show!” me… “DEAL!” Here we go!

Lord of the Flies
I was just asking John “so what grade is it that kids read Lord of the Flies?” Somehow he missed it so I’m guessing maybe it’s not required reading in North Carolina? Then H busts out “I love Lord of the Flies!” To which I have to reply “It’s not Lord of the Rings it’s Lord of the Flies.” Gotta love that girl!
