After a fairly routine weekend with our usual activities plus a few extras, Monday turned out to be c.r.a.z.y. We had 4 scheduled activities for the afternoon/evening basically all back to back with a few overlapping. Then to top it all off, while in between pick ups and drop offs, we picked up some sharp object on the highway that flattened our tire almost immediately. I had just enough time to exit and pull into a parking lot, thankfully!
My knight in shining armor (or nice work clothes, rather) came to rescue us...could you imagine an 8 months pregnant lady with 4 other kids in tow changing the tire on a 15 passenger van? That would have been a sight plus I doubt I could have actually done it. The kids were really interested, and he even enlisted them to help.
Austin generously traded vehicles with us and took the van to get the tire repaired while we continued our crazy evening. Pawpaw filled in for me, picking up Allia at swim practice so I wouldn't be late getting her. Then we all met at the pumpkin patch for a 4-H photo shoot and pumpkin picking since we hadn't been yet this year to get pumpkins. With the change of plans we had to let Stephen hop out, pick his pumpkin, and then we dropped him off at soccer practice.
Then the rest of us went back to take our time enjoying and picking pumpkins...and Allia took pictures of course. Here is Allia with the other photographers
Anastasia is missing because she was running fever all day and had to stay with Manah. :/ The others picked a pumpkin for her, though.
Gloria and Mariana wanted to take some photos too.
This is one well-cared-for pumpkin! They didn't want it to get messed up while we went to pick Stephen up from soccer!
After a quick stop for a couple of pizzas we finally made it home for a quick, late dinner just after Daddy returned from the tire shop. Whew! What a Monday!
