Pumpkin Patch

On Sunday, the three of us went to Craven Farm's Pumpkin Patch with Mike's dad. We had so much fun finding our pumpkin (the one I'm with). We found our pumpkin and fell in love with it. He's large and warty with a curly stem. SUPER CUTE! 

Cayden got dirty and jumped in the rotting pumpkins. I fell backwards while I was pulling the wheelbarrow. All in all, we had a lot of fun and afterwards we went to Starbucks and I got a Caramel Apple Spice. YUM!

Pearl...

You were born in June for a reason.

I picked that month... FOR YOU!

June represents a pearl.

A pearl starts out as a small piece of sand that gets inside an oyster. The water goes in and out of the oyster. Causing the sand to change.

The end result is a pearl.

SOMETHING VERY RARE, VERY FINE, VERY ADMIRABLE, AND VERY VALUABLE.

My waters will go in and out of you.

I will flow in and out of you.

YOU ARE MY PEARL and I LOVE YOU!

1st time washing dishes

Tonight Cayden wanted to wash dishes for me. He grabbed his step stool and the scrubber and started washin'. It's so cute how he's trying to help me with my chores. He is such a sweet boy who is growing up WAY too fast! I think he's washed the same five items over and over and over. The silverware still have food on them, but they are in the dish rack to "dry". 

Okay, he just broke my scrubber... good thing payday is tomorrow. (hehe)

Today's Oprah

Oh my gosh, I'm sitting her watching Oprah while Cayden sleeps and it's breaking my heart. It's a show about An Overwhelmed Mother's Deadly Mistake. 

This lady accidently left her daughter (2-3 y.o) in the car all day while she taught school. She needed to take her to the baby sitter's while her husband went to the dentist. She normally didn't take the girl, the husband did. It was a little too early to drop her off, so they went to the store and grabbed some stuff for the first day of school. The little girl was sleeping and so the mom didn't think anything about it when she headed to the school instead of the baby sitter's. At the end of the day, she was packing up to go home (4PM) and a co-worker came to her and said that her daughter was in the car. It had been like 8 hours that the child had been in the car. The little girl had suffered from heat stroke and died. 

Watching this made my heart go out to this mother. I can totally relate to her. When Cayden is sleeping, I'll leave him in the car while I put my purse and bags in the house. This makes me think twice about doing that now. His safety needs to be my number one and not putting the bags into the house first. 

It makes you think a little more!
