Birthday Parties, Pumpkin patches and Hayrides

This weekend was filled with tons to do. We started off the weekend at a surprise birthday party for Hayley Lundy. She turns the BIG 40 today. We had so much fun, and I got to catch up with some old friends.

Saturday was such a beautiful day. Our Sunday school class met up at the Nichols-Boyd Pumpkin Patch in Brandon. The children all had such a wonderful time, picking pumpkins, swinging on the swings and just running around having fun. After the pumpkin patch we headed to a birthday party for Jacob Dunaway. We were a little late, but just in time for the cake and ice cream and for the children to play a little bit harder.

Sunday rolled around and Kyle headed to his dirt bike race somewhere out from Hattiesburg. Mamie, Nolan and I headed to Krispy Kreme for some Doughnuts and chocolate milk. The children had a fun time watching the doughnuts being made. When we got home Mamie and Nolan were sugared up!! So I opened the back door and they ran and played all morning and afternoon long. My sister Leigh Ann and niece Margaret Ellis stopped by on the way back from Oxford. Mamie and Margaret Ellis had such a blast playing. They wouldn't let Nolan play with them and of course he got mad. They left to head home to Monroe, LA and we all took a small nap. We woke up just in time to go to the Mayo's Farm for another Hayride and Pumpkin picking. Again, we had such a wonderful time out at the farm and it was such beautiful weather. We gathered up pumpkins and gords. I even picked a eggplant, which I am hoping that it is fit to eat. We got home to find Kyle back from the race, he didn't do so good. Only got finished with one lap. Better luck next time. I was just so thrilled that he made it home in one piece.

As you can tell we had a full weekend of fun. Thanks to Lundys for a wonderful time at the birthday party, to April for getting our Sunday School class trip together, to Lisa for the invitation to Jacabo's birthday party and to the Mayo's for another year at the farm. And most of all Thank you God for blessing us with a beautiful weekend so that we could be with friends and family.
