Austin Happy to Sad by Austin

I was happy when I did not have asthma but I have asthma now so I am sad.

i wish it would go away.

Pumpkin Patch

So today we went with Jackson's class to a local pumpkin farm. Jackson picked out a great pumpkin and the girls tagged along. The girls thought they were in the class and did everything they were asked including going through haunted house.

"Play Dates"

So Todd hates this term, not that I blame him adding the term "date" to your 4 year old just seems like trouble. But none the less the days of "going over to Jamie's house to play" has been replaced by "play date with Jamie." And these days it seems to be all I can do to keep up with these "dates" It seems the boys at least love to come over hear. Maybe it has something to do with the fact that I have 4 kids and cannot properly supervise, or maybe it's just that the back yard has decades of decaying fence, rocks, and even a whale vertebrae(don't ask or tell the Federal government, apparently it's a crime to even have such a thing) but all the same they love to build forts and destroy things in our back yard.

Glass Pumpkins

So most would question my sanity if I said I was taking my kids to view hand blown glass pumpkins. But my friend Teressa(who's like an adopted grandma to the girls(she's also the one who came at 2am when my water broke and I had no plan)) convinced me it was a "good idea" as long as we brought some duck tape to keep the girls in the stroller. It's typical of Palo Alto that in a place where people have money to spend/waste that they would start such a thing as collecting glass pumpkins but it's huge here. They are beautiful and maybe I'm just jealous that I will never own one(at least not in the foreseeable future with the 4 sets of hands I live with.)
