The Dargan kids are up at the crack of dawn. It's Saturday morning and they are all cuddled up on the couch together. There is no school and they are ready to start their day. Joe is away for the weekend, so I am solo! "Mommy, can we have breakfast?" "Mommy, can we play soccer?" "Mommy, can we walk somewhere?" "Mommy, can we go to the farm?" Of course, I will try to do and actually make sure I do it all.
Our first Saturday morning stop was the farm. We were the third ones on line for tickets! We took a hayride to the pumpkin patch. Joey says, "mommy there are a million pumpkins here!" Ryley says, "this is the best pumpkin patch!" It was cute to watch them try to find our 2 perfect pumpkins. There were a couple of disagreements on which ones were the perfect ones but they agreed on 2. They named them Jack and Peter. The boys helped me carry them. It's really sweet when I see them wanting to help out. Joey says, "daddy's not here, so it's my job to help." We couldn't leave without running through the hay maze and we would never leave without getting apple cider doughnuts! That is a main attraction for the Dargan kids.
Well, we still had a whole day in front of us. We grabbed Hobson and all walked to the park. We were the only ones there. Ryley, Joey, Owen & TJ sang songs for me and put on a few plays. On our walk back, we saw a fox. That was exciting to them, but it was not exciting when poor Joey got stung by a bee! He was a trooper though.
At home, our day continued with tag, bike riding and socccer. A highlight later on was meeting GG and Grandpa at the diner. It's one of their favorite spots. Owen talks about Grandpa all the time! Owen loves to butter his own toast. He is so proud of himself. At the end of the day, the kids were happy and tired. I was tired out myself. By 8pm, all were sleeping and it was finally quiet in the Dargan house.
