Random Moments

Have I mentioned that I am very busy? Seriously, I think this is has been the busiest I have ever consistently been in my life!

Anyway, there is a bunch of us mom's in our neighborhood that get together on Thursday's and let the kids play while we talk... somehow I kind of got roped to be in charge of it.
On the 14th, we went to a pumpkin patch and corn maze place. Ally was out for Fall Break, so she got to come too. We tried to get a picture of the entire group... yeah, it didn't work so well:

Here are some more pics I took, even if I spent the entire time pretty much chasing Devin around...





Moving on, remember my stress over Ally's habitat a while ago... well, here is how it turned out:

And her beautiful paint job:

And here is her leopard that she made:

And the leopards I made her, after she feel apart saying her's wasn't good enough:

(luckily her cute paint job made up for my poor sculpturing).

Now today, Ally's school had a "Fun Run". The kids were supposed to get pledges to run around 2 laps. I am totally for donating to the school for something like this... now those stupid fundraisers where you have to buy something like chocolates or really expensive wrapping paper and the school get a tiny percentage... I HATE THOSE!!! Anyway, Devin and I went to cheer Ally on... I mean, I've got to get my gratification for my donation, right?

But man was I surprised, this girl can RUN!!!

She finished in the top five for her grade... the first girl! She finished in front of most of the 5th and 6th graders too. I'm thinking watch out track and field, here comes MY champion. (Yeah, I'm an overzealous present, but hey I'm pretty proud).

Here is Ally with her teacher, who I happen to ADORE!

Devin loved sitting in his stroller next to Nathaniel and giving his Cheerios to his buddy.


So, those are some random moments caught on film to catch up just a small portion of my life.
