My Boys is a story of my treasured sons, Jack and Norman, as well as my awesome husband, Blake. There's also a few tidbits about me, Shannon, along the way.

pumpkin patch

We made a trip to the pumpkin patch today. Jack was SOOOOOOO excited to see 'The Great Pumpkin'. He has been watching the Charlie Brown Halloween DVD for weeks now, and that's all he's been able to talk about.

We went on a hayride and picked out pumpkins. Jack had lots of fun playing on the straw pile. Norman did not know what to think of the straw, but he did like the corn in the corn maze. We did the intermediate, and Blake let Jack pick if we were to go 'left' or 'right'. Jack kept picking left, so we went in circles.

The mesmorized look in their eyes like today makes the hard days worth it!

botanical gardens






I don't know if the zoo gardens are 'botanical' gardens or not, but they are awesome. We went for the first time for Norman's birthday a few weeks ago. The boys and I went back this morning and it was so much fun. Jack had a good time looking all around. I'm looking forward when Norman can walk around some. We did find some crawling space for him. Good times.
