Pumpkins and Goats

I forgot my camera, but the boys had a good time today visiting the pumpkin patch. They also got to see horses and goats--even baby goats. There was a dog running around the fence frightening the goats so we got to see a show down. First the mamma goat with the babies was eyeing the dog and taking one step closer at a time and giving him "the look!!" Then the other goats started to notice and one by one each of them turned toward the dog and started moving slowly toward then fence where he was and some of them were stomping their hooves on the ground. It was actually pretty hilarious. It was like a member of an oppossing gang had just come over and given lip and the goat gang turned and almost in unison began moving slowly toward the culprit/victim and giving him the deadly glare that he was about to be pounced!

Anyway, then we went to our friend Melissa's house and she helped the boys seed the pumpkin and carve it and even toasted the pumpkin seeds, while i tried to rest.

I am trying to tell the boys that we might have a baby boy but they seem convinced that it is a girl. We were praying at bedtime the other night and clay squeezed me and said, "you going to push that baby out to a girl... a baby girl is gonna be a baby sister." I told him it might be a baby boy and then i would be a brother, but he said, "no, it's a girl. it's a baby sister." So, we shall see. Let's hope the "faith of a child" is right.

Oh yeah, and here is my latest mug shot:) I usually take my pictures in the morning when i am smaller, but this one was at night so the change may be a little more drastic than my morning shots. I really am bigger in the evening. I even measured myself one day in the morning and then that night and I was like an inch or two bigger around that night--it must be the slow digestion!
