Try not to faint, but today is actually October 19, and I'm posting the same day as the actual week. It's pretty amazing. I'm no where near caught up in my physical album, but this week is scrapped, so it gives the feeling that I'm caught up...
It was easy to pull together this week as I took a ton of pictures this weekend with my family in town. Annaliese helped out a bit in the picture taking department, too. I had the camera on the tripod from late last week when I was taking pictures of the moon rising at night. Darrin showed her how to work the time delay and she would set the camera and frame the shot, the press the shutter release and run to get in front of the camera. Unfortunately, I had it on manual focus from my moon shots, so some of hers were completely out of focus, but her composition of the pictures was awesome, and her adorableness showed through in every photo.
Family in towns means lots of..... drum roll...... family time. Game playing. Book reading. Wrestling. Playing cars. And secret agents. And crying because the boys won't let you play with them.
We tried a new pumpkin patch while they were all here this weekend, Camp Fontanelle. The kids had a blast, and the fact that it was half the price as the other patches around here made me pretty darn happy. Both my kiddos said the jumping pillow was their favorite thing. They spent most of their time jumping, between the pillow and the bounce castle. It was a big enough place we needed maps, and since I did such a wonderful job when we were in the corn maze, someone else needed to take over. I enjoyed watching the kids in the petting zoo; seeing Ian's reaction to feeding the alpacas and goats was awesome. Annaliese loved to pet the bunnies, but was too scared to hold her hand out and feed the animals.

2014 Week Thirty-Seven and Thirty-Eight | September 8 - 21
As I was going back and working on pictures for September, I had a harsh realization when I only had three pictures for an entire week. So it's getting combined with another one.

First Sunday of Sunday School there were big balloons in the courtyard after church. |

The kids loved popping and chasing the big balloons. You could even blow back at them, creating smaller bubbles inside the bigger ones. |

We bought some new furniture for the new house and this has quickly been established as the best seat. It's called a 1.5 chair, but it seems to hold two very well. |

Fun in the bounce houses at the orchard apple festival. |

She was in heaven at the apple orchard meeting Anna and Elsa. She's wearing shorts, imagine how hot the princess are! |

Yep, even got me in a shot at the orchard. |

It's the last half of September, and it was warm enough for the kids to get in the pool . It probably should have been winterized already, but it's hard when we have warm weekends to cover it up. |

2014 Week Thirty-Six | September 1 - 7
Most of the pictures from this week are at my cousin's wedding on Friday night. As I've been going back through September's pictures and realizing how few I've taken, I think I need to start taking pictures of the things I take for granted, like our dinners together as a family, the kids working on homework when we get home from school, and the other seemingly mundane, but oh-so-important stuff of the week.

Cousins impatiently waiting for dinner. Thankfully there were rolls on the table they got to dig in to. |
