29 days and counting!

Now that's pretty impressive. I mean, out of an average pregnancy of about 270 days, that is pretty rad that I only have 29 days left. As you all know, I have begrudgingly been keeping a "countdown calendar" for Ben, but today, as I changed the numbers and we got into the 20's, I got so excited! So, thank you Ben!

On another note, I always seem to get so behind on blogging. Or, in perfect Kim fashion, I start a post and then get interrupted so I save it, and never go back to finish them. Case in point: the 4 posts I have right now in my drafts. Someday.......

So, we have been to the Pumpkin Patch a couple times this season. Of course, we get there and I only have 4 pictures left on my memory card, so we did the best we could. And if any of you know my kids, they aren't the best picture takers, so they were thrilled with the lack of hounding by mom to get a good shot at every turn.

Here are some pictures for your viewing pleasure. Take note of the pumpkin on Ben's cheek. Now, I know I painted a pretty dang good picture of a humpback whale in 5th grade (to which my dad kept up in his office for like 10 years!) but I am seriously no artist, and have never claimed to be. In fact, I kind of suck. But I had to give myself serious credit here for, not the way the pumpkins looks, but the almost PERFECT circle I made with the cheapest, most mangled pumpkin patch paintbrush I have ever encountered. My husband and mother-in-law both thought it was creepy how perfect it was. Now, of course I took the picture 2 hours after the perfection was made, so it started to crack and Ben was itching it, but hopefully you get the idea.
Anyway, here are the pics.


Jake and his "new best friend" Pepper. We went back and got to ride Pepper again and Jake was so stoked.

Crazy cute boys trying to sit still for a picture. Trying to get Jake to smile and look at the camera is an event!

This was like our 4th attempt and finally I gave up. They are definitely not the posing kids!

Okay, so he scratched off a little of the bottom left, but it still looks pretty darn good.

Your boys are so cute. They make me want to have another one (i hope seth does NOT read this) One day we'll manage to hang out. My sister is having a big haunted house at her house tonight (my old house) if you guys want to come.
