Busy Busy Weekend

Last weekend we were quite busy!

On Friday I hosted a play date at my house.  Two friends I've known since first grade, and a friend from High School, came over to the house with their kids.  In all we had two three-year-olds, a two-year-old, three one-year-olds, and a nine-month-old......that's SEVEN toddlers/babies at my house!  It was great to catch up with my mommy friends and have all the kids play together.  But I was a bit too busy to grab a camera to take a pic of the craziness.  Maybe next time?!


Saturday we went to Cagle's Dairy Corn Maize.  We went with Josh's mom and his brother Bear and his family. Here's the story in pics.......

We arrived and waited for the rest of the crew.  Landon was excited and was especially excited about his hair. 

Jillian had no idea what we were doing and so wasn't excited about being strapped into the stroller.  She apparently wasn't enthused with having her picture taken either.  I promise this was the best picture she gave me upon arrival.

 They had this trampoline-in-ground thing to jump on.  We started on the BIG one, but as you can see.....there were BIG kids jumping on it.  

So we moved to the smaller trampoline-in-the-ground thing.  

Jillian was too little to climb up the jumpy-thing.  She didn't seem to mind though, playing in the grass was great fun. 

We fed goats.   

 An attempt at a picture of the cousins.  Jonah is trying REALLY hard to give a good smile.  And Landon, well.......he's looking a bit confused or lost.

 There was running through the Maize.

The whole bunch of us.....with a few ears of corn for souveniers.

They rode some ponies.  Landon thought it was a lot of fun.  I couldn't get him to look at the camera to get a good shot of him on the pony.   But he would  look at the POOP 

one of the ponies dropped during the ride.

We went to the pumpkin patch.   

Jillian LOVED it!!!   

What a cutie.

Sunday we went to visit our new cousin Liam.  

He's so stinkin' little!!!!   

The big cousins got to play. 

Landon was interested, and was truly being sweet......but gentle isn't exactly his thing. 

Jillian was very interested in the baby.  She was also wondering what the deal was with her Daddy holding a baby.

After visiting with the new baby, we stopped at the park on the way home.  

Landon got to play and climb. 

Jillian got to swing. 

Little miss lookin' cute.

Getting some more climbing in. 

We attempted a cute siblings sliding picture. 

But we only got their cute tushies. 

And then Landon left her in his dust. 

Then we forced a pic with Mommy before we left.

And that was our busy busy weekend.

Old Enough to Say.......

So I was thinking about different.......random......things.
I ended up on the theme of

"I'm Old Enough to Say...."

1. My first car had manual windows and manual locks.  
2. In second grade my teacher led our class in prayer before lunch every day.
3. I saw Willy-B (the silver back gorilla at Zoo Atlanta) when he lived in small room with a tv.
4. I remember Hickory Flat when it was a "town" of 2 stop signs.
5. I watched Captain Kangaroo.
6. I remember when GA400 didn't connect to I-85.
7. I watched a tv that had to "warm up" before you could see the image on the screen.  
8. I watched shows on a black and white tv with an antenna.
9. Some of my classmates in first grade got "paddled."  And through 3rd grade my parents signed a paper stating whether they would allow school personal to "paddle" me for punishment.
10.  I remember when gas was $1.05 a gallon.
11. Both of my grandfathers are veterans of WWII.
12. I used an electric type writer.
13. The assistant teacher in my kindergarten class had hair-do that resembled a bee-hive. 
14. I used a polaroid camera.
15. I remember when you needed film negatives to order reprints of a picture.
