It's October!

October 1st and we are in Halloween mode.  My absolute favorite time of year.  We picked up Davis from football this evening and went to get pumpkins.  I am pretty sure when my kids are all grown up and moved out, I will be going to the pumpkin patch by myself.  Davis got out of the car, said "that one" and let me take a picture then went back to the car.  But he was all over getting ice cream at Country Corner afterwards.  Gator is still into the activity.  I think that has been one of the hardest things with Owen leaving on his mission.  I am not ready to be alone.  I'm a mom, and I don't ever want my kids to grow up.  I knew this day would come, but why does it have to be already?  I'm in a hard spot, I want the next 2 years to fly by so Owen comes home, but I don't want Davis and Gator to be 2 years older, 2 years closer to leaving.  I have to enjoy every second of every day right now.  Time is passing regardless, so I just have to wipe my tears and enjoy my life.

 My ugly pumpkin this year.  I think it looks kinda like a praying mantis.  It is ugly!

 It was also National Homemade Cookie Day.  Pumpkin Chocolate Chip cookies for us, and a few neighbors.
