Too much to talk about!

There has been quite a bit going on lately. First of all I am posting pictures of the kiddo's when we went to the apple/pumpkin orchard. We had a really nice time. Sissy was the only one who really got into trouble and had to be taken back to the car for a talking too..screaming all the way to the car "noooooo I'll be good, please forgive me Mommy!!! aaahhhhh aaahhhh" Oh it was soooo much fun! ha! Very memorable, and I even have the picture of how happy she was! All in all they had a good time, but we have decided to go back to the apple orchard we went to 3 years ago. It is really nice, although it is the farthest away these 2 we've been to lately just aren't the same. I don't think the kids noticed one bit..it's more for our benefit.

In sports..NASCAR, Jimmie is still in the lead with the most points, and I am really hopping he wins this next race that should ensure that he win the championship...again, that will be his third in a row...wooo-hooo! And the Chicago Bears won Sunday..I seriously did not think they would win, and they were up against a team who hasn't won 7 of their games!!!! Why such a struggle Bears? I am happy to report they won...but it was touch and go! And that is all the sports I actually watch. Well some college football.. only because Honey pie has to watch the Buckeye's, as he is from Ohio.

We celebrated yesterday......NOT for the election, but for Honey-pies birthday. he is now as old as me, but in 19 more days I will again be older. The kiddo's got him a playstation game, while I got him clothes, and my parents got him John Deer things. For his birthday dinner he wanted tater-tot casserole. Not my favorite, which is why he requests it for his birthday cause I don't make it very often. But this time I spiced up the meat the way we like it, and I must say it turned it very good! I also made him a homemade new york style cheesecake from scratch. I have only made a handful of cheesecakes and this one turned out nice and moist, my last one was kind of dry.

We also did some yard work yesterday. Well honey-pie did. I took pictures of the kids jumping in the leaves he was raking up. Honey pie was soooo happy..as were the kids...and when I develop those I will post some!

Well as I mentioned we did not celebrate the newly elected president. We just don't see eye to eye with the man, and by your fruits you are known..be careful with the company you keep. He will be the President of the United States and I know we will pray for Him and the leaders of our country, and I pray we see good changes that are the will of God. Someone once said to me how could we vote for a "republican" when my family is one of the "working poor" and a democratic president would be better for "your family". I guess it just doesn't come down to "money" for me. It comes down to who the man/woman is. If they have some of the same values I do.. and trust me there is plenty on my part of reading between the lines. I feel I go to vote as a well informed voter. We have alot of issues in our family, and sometimes it would seem to be easy to go with the "democratic" side just because of what they can do for me..but then I wouldn't be following what God wanted me to listen too. I can come away with a clean conscience.

Well until next time
Ta-ta-for now
