My Little Pumpkins

I'm blogging these pictures from yesterday, so that I can remember the cute qualities in my children. Today was a rough one....actually the last four hours were the rough part. We need to seriously crack down on some girls around here....especially in the areas of listening and talking respectfully to each other. Whew! Anyone else have a day where you wonder why God entrusted you with so many little hearts when he knew you were going to LOSE your patience repeatedly with them?

Okay...enough of that. On to the pictures.

Abby Kate had tubes put in her ears yesterday morning and was perfectly happy the whole day. She wasn't even groggy and sleepy, like I remembered the other two being. So, we decided to head to the pumpkin "flower park", as the girls call it, at lunchtime to let out some energy and enjoy the sunshine. (and get the pumpkin patch checked off the fun fall festivity list.)

A pumpkin picture of three girls under age six is nearly impossible, so we didn't really try too long. We just let 'em run and play. But, here are a few that got close to working....

Abby Kate's favorite part of the pumpkins was the hay they were sitting on. Yum yum!Carlie stops for one pose. And, only one! Oh well, at least she's smiling. :)Then, we have Kendyll, who can't pose enough. She kept thinking of new "sister pictures" for me to take. So funny....This is when Carlie knew it was the last picture attempt...she got quite excited at the thought.

And, at the end of the day, a random man said that he thought we needed a family picture. He didn't know what he was volunteering for. This is the closest we got to even having all of our eyes open. :)

Okay, I feel better. They do all have a cute side, even when it's hard to see until the minute they lay their heads on the pillow. I do think I better head back into give them kisses while they sleep...to make up for the impatient mommy moments of the evening.
