The Barnett's: October 2012

There is nothing like a sister's loving. I am sure this can branch out to siblings but I only have 1 sister and man I love her! This past weekend my little family took a 3 hour trip to see her and her family! I love when we are able to do that and it doesnt happen NEARLY as often as it should. This past weekend was packed to the gills with tons of fun stuff! I will attempt to post pictures of all of our fun at the end. Friday Stephen got off around 3 and I left work about the same time to go get Linden. We were planning to leave then so we would get there at a decent hour but we can't ever do anything on time for some reason. We left around 4-4:30 and the ride was pretty long. Linden is not a good rider just for 20 minutes much less 3 hours. I do not know what it is but he HATES to ride. We had his DVD player on but he just isn't really into the TV. ANYWAY, Stephen ended up in the back seat and about 30 minutes from Madison we stopped to get Linden something to eat. He got much better after that. We met sister at Walmart in Madison where she was buying a scarecrow to add to her fall decor. We then went to a Mexican ~~the best~~ MY FAVORITE! Linden was done with being out after than so the boys took him home and got him ready for bed and Emily and I delivered some cookies to a friend. Once we got home all of the kids and boys were asleep so we carved some pumpkins so we could put the girls in them. I am NOT very good with a knife so this was very comical! I made the leg holes too little and then we had to go back and fix it. I then noticed the moon was so pretty in Emily's back yard so we had a photo snapping time. Off to bed we went becuase we knew we had a VERY busy day on Saturday. Saturday we were up BRIGHT and early because Hayden thought it was time to scream her ~~not so~~ little lungs out. That was so fun because we got up and go moving and could play before the day started. We went to eat for lunch and then to an IVF thing for the girls, we didnt stay there long but then off to the FAIR!! Linden loved it! They didnt have many rides for him but he still had fun. He didn't want to get off of any ride we got on. I think his Favorite was the HUGE slide. We then went home because it was FREEZING and everyone was getting hungry. We ordered in Japenese and while the men went to get that we did the photo shoot with the pumpkins. To get the girls in them was much of a challenge and to get them out was even worse but how do you make them happy in them? HOW KNOWS! THEY HATED IT! We finially got them out and Linden so seriously says, MY TURN! so i take the girls inside and him and Auntie EM have photo shoot time. We then got the kids cleaned up and off to bed. Sunday was a very short but sweet day there. Linden loves his cousins. I can't wait until we are able to go back but am def. looking forward to when they come here for the Mississippi State game. I am going to have to teach Emily to say "ROLL TIDE" That weekend will just be an ADULT weekend and although i will miss all of the kids being there i will enjoy this time as well.
