I got corn in my unnawear...

I guess a post about once a week is all I can hope for right now.  Our weeknights are so crazy, that it leaves little time for blog post, no matter how many ideas I have floating around in my head.  We've had a busy weekend around here with a visit from Papa and Gram Meagher.  I'll get to that at a later post. I'm not here to talk about this weekend rather give the exciting highlights of last weekend.

Things began at pickup on Friday afternoon where the teachers asked me to feel Teddy's lower gums.  Ha HA!  That mysterious tooth had finally decided to make an appearance.  I literally lept for joy right there in the room.  The first tooth always seems to be the toughest for them and I was thrilled it was on it's way.

On that high we rushed home, finished packing and hit the road for a weekend at Papa and Gram Coberly's house.  The big plan was a trip to one of the local farms on Saturday to pick out our Halloween pumpkins.  The one we picked was small but it was also a real working farm with horses and other animals.  Katherine got up close and personal with the horses.

And Teddy enjoyed his very first hay ride and trip to the pumpkin patch. We picked out two great pumpkins for the kids.

Wait!  Why is there only one kid in the pumpkin patch???  Because our four year old absolutely refused to get on the hay ride that took you there.  Yup, the one reason we were there was a no go as far as Miss K was concerned.  The tractor was just too big and too loud for her liking.  So she stayed with Papa and Gram while Ted and I took Teddy on his very first hay ride.  So where did Katherine spend her time? Here:

That's her in the corn bin.  She was perfectly content to spend her entire visit playing there...and she did.  In fact when we left, we had to shake all of the corn off of her.  Little did we know the cracks and crevices where it had gone.  When we arrived back at Papa and Gram's after lunch I was getting her ready for a bath (the kid was filthy from all that time in the corn bin) when she announced "Mommy!  I got corn in my unnawear!"  She showed what can only be described as a LOAD of corn.  In fact, I have no idea how she sat through lunch and according to Ted's parents fell asleep on the trip back to their house.  Picture the sand butts that little kids have from an afternoon at the beach and you'll get the picture of how much corn was dragging down her "unnawear".  We all doubled over laughing.

And I found a kernel of corn in the washer after every load of laundry we did this week.

It will be a mental image every time I look at corn from now on...corn butt.
