Since my last blog:-) so figured I better update this thing sometime, what better time to do it than at 10:30 p.m. and almost falling asleep. Lets see what have we done in that time....ummmm its been so long I can't remember. We did go to Grandpa and Grandma's out in Freedom for some fun filled days. We went to the Arcade park with Molly and Grandma Sue, then went to Pumpkinville, located in Great Valley. One would definately need an ENTIRE day there:-) They did have this really cute ride with a tractor, pulling these little cow cars around in a circle.......which cost $3.50 for two times around the circle:-) Most def. worth it:-) hahaha, just ask mom! We did find some cute pumpkins, they had good cider and great pumpkin donuts!! Freshly tossed in the sugar.
Then on Thursday we took off and headed to the Buffalo Zoo. It had been beautiful all week and of course it would have to start raining as we got closer to Buffalo. But we braved the weather and eventually it stopped. After the four to five bus loads of high schoolers left we had the zoo pretty much to ourselves!! That seemed to be the theme of the week!! No one at the park, Pumpkinville and then the zoo, but we weren't complaining!
Then on Friday the kids and I headed for home. I have also become quite the farm girl lately. Learning how to run the skid steer, fill manure wagon then proceed to spread it. And just tonight I learned how to use the corn picker. Not sure if all that I am learning is going to be a help to me, it looks like it could mean trouble, now that I know how to do all these great farm things! Nancy has been watching the little ones while I'm out with daddy learning:-)
Tomorrow night the workers come for a few nights, then in less than a week we are headed to Oregon to meet our new niece and cousin Cora Rae McKerrow. We can't wait!!! Oscar is now 8 1/2 months and has started crawling this past week so nothing is safe anymore!:-) And we also reached another milestone, Madeline literally gave her bottles to the piglets!!! So she has been a whole week bottle free. She only had it at nap time and at night but it has made a great difference!! We have found out she likes to eat:-) Hopefully it won't be another month before I post again, then there won't have to be as much writing:-) and remembering!! Til next time!

I'd better step it up and learn how to doing something on the farm!! :) You're putting us to shame! Can't wait to see you Thursday!!
Experience has taught me that once you learn how to do something it's not long before its YOUR job. Sounds like fun, but be very very careful (wink, wink)
I love the Buffalo Zoo! The boys still have a bottle in the morning, although I think it's Jen that doesn't want them to give it up.
