circus to pumpkin patch

we have had a few busy weeks. a couple of weeks ago the circus came to town...the girls actually thought the circus was coming to town by train (too cute). the girls had a blast...except for the clowns. alaina did not like the clowns until they were far away. when we first got there we were able to meet the performers. alaina was on my shoulders when we came up to a clown with green spikey hair....her hands clamped around my neck and she started screaming...and the clown pretended to scream back. alan had actually pull her off of my shoulders and take her away....as i was choking. so kylee decided she would have her picture taken with him instead. they loved the loved the motorcycles and the elephants and tigers...and of course the souvenirs!

fall is officially here and we are loving every single minute of it. we wanted to get a head start on the pumpkin patch so went this past weekend with papa and ohie. i just love schaakes pumpkin patch. it's big and open and they have the best selection/variety of pumpkins...and it's free. you can't beat that. afterwards we headed to lawrence for some BBQ....and a water bath (lets just say that the poor waitress had a heck of a night, i felt so bad for her). the BBQ was delish!! it was a fun filled day, and showers were a necessity!!!
