It seems like, lately, every weekend is insanely busy and leaves me thinking, "shoo, that's over with, now things will settle down" only to find that the next weekend is equally as busy! Last weekend was Mackenzie's first Homecoming at the high school -- football game with friends on Friday night, nails & hair Friday and Saturday, and then the big Homecoming Dance on Saturday night. I posted some pictures on Facebook, but Kenz likes her privacy now, so I don't post much about her activities.
This weekend, Daniel had a hockey game on Friday night, then on Saturday, we took our annual trip to Simmon's Farm to get pumpkins and goof around in the beautiful autumn weather. It was Markos' first trip to the farm. He was initially worried about the hay ride, asking if it was "scary", and if it was "fast", and finally if it was "like a roller coaster". :-) No, it's not scary, and not fast, and nothing like a roller coaster. He enjoyed it, and kept cracking me up, calling it a "Haiti ride".
Daddy's turn was not nearly as hilarious (to us) as last year's incident, but his apple traveled the furthest.

 |
| Markos was not impressed by the tire swings - especially with Daniel pushing him. |
 |
| Kenzie enjoyed the swings - even if Eric was trying to push her into the tree. |
 |
| Daniel being a goofball. |
 |
| Apparently, it's impossible for him to be on the tire swing without making a "silly face". |
 |
| The 3 kids ready to pick out a pumpkin. |
 |
| Markos got to pick this year since it was his very first ever trip to a pumpkin patch. |
 |
| Bagging the pumpkin so Daddy could carry it back to the van. |
