My daughter Madeline suggested that my first blog entry be about a Big Alien.
The Big Alien we have this week in our house is the flu. Poor Maddie has an icky flu bug. It started with pukes & poops and now it's fever and aches.
When I asked Maddie how having the flu is like a Big Alien, she said that the flu virus comes from outer space too where it is dark and cold.
I hope our visitor blasts back off and leaves us before the other two small humanoids are affected. Thanks for checking out my blog. Annie, thanks for the inspiration to start documenting my life!
Sunday we made the very short drive to Rader's Pumpkin Patch Farm (literally less than 10 minutes away). We have visited this patch for the last two or three years. My favorite part of our outing was being greeted by a full size wild turkey named Tom. Tom hangs out with the farm's dogs and believes he himself to be of canine descent. Pretty funny. The kids had a super excellent time, despite the windy & chilly conditions. Our front porch is in full fall decor now & it's official, summer's over!
