C4E ~ Anything Goes; Dynamic Duos ~ Colors; Pixie's Snippets 41; and Pumpkin Patch Funday!

Good Monday Morning,

I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend!  We had it all here, beautiful weather, family time, photo ops, and corn in our underpants . . .

 

First, a card.  A card that turned on me, like a pet alligator.  That happens.  I'm rushed and a bit unsettled.  I start a work project tomorrow that will last until the first part of November.  I will stop in here when I can, but I know it will mostly affect my visits to your blogs and my comments and I'm sorry about that.  I like coming to see you and I'll miss it, but I'll be back to visiting you before you know it!

 

I'm entering three wonderful challenge sites in Bloggerlonia today.  In Alfa Betty order, one is called Challenges 4 Everybody.  Don't you just love that name?!  I do.  Everyone is welcome at any time, no matter what, nor who you are, nor what you've created.  Mwah!  They are sponsored by Digi Darla.

 

The second is the fun Dynamic Duos, where this week they are searching for Design Team members, so especially get in there and get (l)inked up if you are interested, although you're welcome to just come in and play with the colors:

 

 

I love and use a lot of old olive, but not too many tango tangerines are in my craft bag.  I was happy to find a half a sheet and a scrap of it, however, yippee, which meant I could also link up to Pixie's Crafty Snippets challenge 41!  I hope you use snippets and join in!

My card:

 

 

and a close-up of the dahlia's you can see in the background.  So perfect for Autumn.

And now for a photo journey of our weekend for those interested.  Grab a beverage if you're coming along . . .

 

After the soccer game, we provided snacks:

Mister wouldn't let me use this table for obvious reasons!  I didn't have the heart to tell him he shouldn't be sitting there either!

 

~~~
An aside.  We only had one child, a son, and he only has twin sons.  As a result, I know nothing about little girls, but I took this picture for those of you who do.  I don't believe it needs a caption, but I do believe that's a delightful girl child.  And there were other princesses to be found on this weekend . . . stay tuned.

Below you can see why Henry was elected President of the local chapter of the "Dirty Bug Club."  Here, he displays how a boy should properly look after eating a small chocolate ice cream on a stick.  His brother Adam's face was clean as a whistle.  Apparently cleanliness is not one of the strands found in the identical twin genome!

 

~~~
Now we have some fun photos of our visit to the Pumpkin Patch yesterday.  Although all these hundreds of pumpkins all looked alike, each and every one was considered in the search to find perfection!

 

~~~
Below is Mister (Papa).  It's like one of those photos you find in magazines where there is a contest and you win a prize for the the best caption!  You can pick a caption or make up one of your own!

 

"I think Aunt Sylvia is trying to reach me on the psychic phone!"

"Don't tell me I could have parked right there!"

"Do I smell a sausage sandwich?"

"If that's your wagon, where's mine?"

~~~

Next, we visited the SCARY display inside the barn.  Well, okay, not so scary, but sorta fun because when you clapped, lots of eyeballs started moving, spiders started crawling, bats began to fly, and skeletons started reaching out for you!

 

 

~~~
Then, off to the tractor-go-cart track! 

 

 ~~~

And, look here, what did I find?  Another little princess right in the middle of the hay and corn!!  Was this "Dress-Up-Like-A-Princess" weekend for little girls?  Too funny!

 

~~~
Next, more fun was to be had in the giant raw corn kernel play box!  (You thought I was kidding when I said there was corn in the underpants, dinja?!)

 

~~~

Last, but not least, a pony ride!

That's me (Bama) with the boys:

And here are some artsy-fartsy photos d' artiste:

 

 

~~~
Back home, we washed off the dirt and corn dust with super-sonic squirt guns!

~~~
While we were having this fun-filled weekend, their parents were having a memorable time away, so it was all good, all the way around! 

Oh, and we can't forget Duke in our digital album!

"Please don't let them squirt me!"
