Did she just say that?

I took McKenna, her friend Sadie and the boys to go get ice cream cones and then to the park after school. This was the conversation that took place in the car while eating our cones....

McKenna: "My mom doesn't like us to watch Sponge Bob, but Matt sneaks it sometimes."

Sadie: "My mom let's me watch Sponge Bob."

Me: "Well, honey most kids can watch Sponge Bob. I just think that if my kids are going to watch TV there are a lot better choices to watch. That's all.

Sadie: "Oh, did your mom not let you watch it when you were little?"

Me: "They didn't have Sponge Bob when I was little."

McKenna: "Yeah, my mom was born in the 70's."

Sadie, with an understanding/sympathetic nod: "Ohhhh." 

Me laughing really hard then saying, "Kenna how did you know that I was born in the 70's?"

McKenna extrememly surprised and with a huge smile: "You mean I was right?!!" 

Pickin' Pumpkins!

Well it is that time of year YIPEE! It was Grandma Thompson's Birthday. So, to celebrate we all got together and went on a hayride, picked pumpkins, and then roasted weenies back at our place.  So good to have our family around us. We missed those that weren't with us though and we thought a lot about our Papa Mason who also had his birthday on the same day. We love you and miss you!

Miss McKenna is a little grumpy trying to find the perfect pumpkin.
