Happy Halloween 2012 ~

 Note to self ~ do not carve pumpkins too early or they

won't make it to Halloween!

 

 Corrigan's pumpkin ~ her feet and hands

 My favorite picture of the night ~ they were all giggling

 Heading to the Pumpkin Patch

 Walking in the field where they grow the pumpkins

So much fun ~ as Odin says, "it's so exciting"!  The season began with our annual trip to the pumpkin patch behind our house.  As we were walking in the field this year, we were able to see 3 deer running through...and according to the boys "daddy will shoot those deer"!  The kids had fun dressing up again and pictures with 3 kids is getting more and more challenging, but FUN.  It was another successful night for the boys handing out candy at our house ~ I can't even tell you how "exciting" it was for them!!  They waited in anticipation for each child to arrive!!

Miss C's first surgery ~

 Arrival at the hospital ~ and as usual she's all smiles

 Getting vitals

 Waiting for the doctor to arrive

 The dot marks the spot (or eye in this case)

   A little drama for her momma before going in

After dealing with Corrigan's goopy eye and blocked tear duct the past 11 months, the doctor decided it was time to take care of it.  Bryce and I got up bright and early this morning to take Corrigan in to have her procedure done.  Everything went very quickly and smoothly and according to the doctor, her duct was very obstructed and she would not have outgrown it.  I'm glad it's over because there is nothing more painful for me as a mother then when I watch a nurse take my child away and I no longer can protect them *sigh*.
