Fall Memories

I found this picture today as Rick and I were cleaning and organizing and, most importantly, getting rid of all the cardboard boxes we have accumulated over the past few years! My new motto, "Own no carboard", not sure if that is possible but my promise is that I will recycle as much cardboard as is humanly possible!

Back to the "Fall memory"....one of my favorite times of the year is the fall and the chance to take my children to the local pumpkin patch. A few of our favorite things to eat were my MOm's sugar cookie recipe with orange frosting and a candycorn or two placed on top, later on it was the pumpkin cookies we would make. I will have to look for more pictures of the kids and pumpkins but this one is truly one of my favorites and it is of "the girl's", as we once called Kelsey and Cara. (Actually, we still do call them "the girls", but Kylie and Reese are getting to be known as "the girl's" now!) It is so "weird" to look back at this picture and to realize how quickly those last 14 to 15 years have gone by! These two little one's were always at my side and so totally opposite! Kelsey, the girly-girl and Cara was pretty much not one! Cara would take off the bows that Kelsey would love to have in her hair. They are two, pretty much amazing young women now and I'm proud to say they are both just as beautiful now as they were then!

Love your kids and enjoy every minute....they grow up quicker than you will ever imagine. Now, I'll have to write something soon about our two fabulous older two! Did I mention that Charlie Brown is one of my favorite memories of my childhood? Love the Charlie Brown holiday shows...
