Anderson Farm's - A Yearly Tradition

We had a great time at this year's trek to Anderson Farms. The trails were a little "soft" but there were only a few mud puddles. There were quite a few mosquitos, so be sure to bring some mosquito repellent. There are some HUGE pumpkins in the field...so head on over and pick your favorite!

Kids Vacationing on Their Own

The girls (all three) have been in Florida with family for a month. For Chance and I, this has been a wonderful respite from the everyday hustle and activity of kids. For them, I think it will be memories that last a lifetime. They are staying with my mil, but are also seeing aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends. We see the family occasionally, but usually on for a few days. This is the first time the kids have spent a longer period of time getting to know their family....and for the family to get to know the girls. The hardest part of them being gone for a month is Arionna's anxiety. She misses us. REALLY, REALLY, REALLY misses us...as she told me for 45 minutes on the phone the other night. I will admit, those conversations are draining...sucks the life right out of me. I remind myself...this is GOOD for her...to really know what it is like to not be with us everyday. And, it is GOOD for her to stretch outside of her comfort zone. Now, if I can just make it through the next few days until they come home..all will be good!

Have you ever sent you kids on an extended vacation without you? How did you/they handle it?

The Things Kids Say

When Kaylee was little (around 3, I believe) we dropped my husband off at work. I asked her if she want to give Daddy a kiss. She responded with: "No." My husband and I were both shocked and taken a little aback that she would say to giving a kiss. As we pulled away from my husband's office, I asked Kaylee why she didn't want to give Daddy a kiss...her response:

"I'm all out of kisses and the kiss store is closed right now, so I can't go buy more."

Who can argue with THAT??
