A Normal Post

After my last post I thought that maybe I should let everyone know that I really am normal. A little demented maybe, but still normal. In order to prove this point I'll give you a little glimpse into the last few weeks of our lives.
My aunt and her best friend came from IN to pay us a visit. We hadn't seen her for about six years, so she had never met Landon or Dylan. It was really wonderful to be together again. Of course it made my Dad extremely happy to spend some time with his little sis. Dorothy has been Aunt Barbara's best friend for many years. She came with me to help Collin's class make yarn pumpkins, it was quite an experience. The pictures I took of Aunt Barbara didn't turn out because of the lighting. You have no idea how sad that makes me.
Last Wed was hat day at school. Ethan desperately wanted to wear a shoe on his head. I guess he though that would take the prize for the most original. As you can see I didn't let him. How do you keep a shoe on your head anyway? As he was walking out the door he asked if I would staple an apple on his head. Go figure.
The boys were off school on Thurs and Fri so since I had to work Thurs night and would be sleeping Fri. morning we decided to make a day of it on Thurs. We met Harold at Al's Red Barn for lunch. It is not far from the airport in Ft. Pierce. It is such a fun place to take the boys. They have a restaurant on one side with really tasty American food and wonderful authentic Mexican. On the other side is a little gift shop. It is a really great place to buy FL candy and other memorabilia. They even sell alligator jerky. Oops there I go with gators again. This picture was taken on an old tractor that sits out front.
The hangar at MFI is one of the boys favorite places to go. Here are a few pictures we took of them "helping" Daddy at work.
Anybody need to be towed?
Our little pilot in training.
Anybody want a ride when these mechanics are done?
After leaving the airport we headed for the Pumpkin Patch. This is how we import fall to S FL.
We are trying to smile, but this imported hay has ants in it and it's really hot out here.y
These pumpkins are really funny I just wish the FL sun didn't reflect off of them so brilliantly.
We're done with fall picture taking, let's go to the beach.
We finished out the week with a Pastor Appreciation service at church. We are so thankful for the leaders God has given us.
Well I hope this was enough to convince everyone of my sanity, cause who knows what I'll come up with next.
