The Pumpkin Patch...
I was so excited to volunteer for Katy's first pre-k field trip to the pumpkin patch. This was by far the coolest pumpkin patch I'd ever been to - and good thing too because it took us an hour on a school bus to get there! They had this huge trampoline jumping thing, a hay ride, a zip line, a hay maze, a petting zoo, face painting, a pumpkin patch and a story area where they teach you everything you ever thought you wanted to know about pumpkins! It was a lot of fun spending the day with Kaitlyn and not having Lex tag along. As much as I love Lex, she can be a pain in her big sister's rear sometimes!
This is the boy who seems to have captured my Kaitlyn's heart! She talks about him all the time and they even hold hands (a lot of the boys and girls do, but still)!

Dear Thief...
Dear Thief,
I was having a wonderful time enjoying the weather and playing with my children at the playground today, until you crept out of nowhere and stole my purse right off our picnic blanket. Feel free to keep my fake leather purse from Target, my ten year old wallet, $30 in cash, canceled credit cards, disabled cell phone, diapers, wipes, gum and chap stick. I'd appreciate it if you'd return the pictures of my children, my keys, and my sense of safety, which you've replaced with a sense of paranoia, distrust and vulnerability.
Crime happens everywhere and I was obviously mistaken thinking my purse was safe within eyesight at the family playground. I've never been subjected to much crime, but since moving to Baton Rouge I've been in a hit and run, my car has been broken into, there was a shooting 5 houses away from us and now my purse was stolen. As if the bugs, humidity and swamps weren't enough!
Yours Truly,
The naive, trusting, pregnant woman you stole from today
P.S. I hope you get caught on the gas station surveillance camera trying to use my gas card.

Feeding the Ducks...
We fed the ducks today. The girls had so much fun. I was scared to death of them. Seriously, one of them bit my hand trying to get my bread. Well, I guess it was more of a snap since they don't have teeth.
