My Little Pumpkins

On Saturday we took a trip to Rowe's Pumpkin Patch in Mason. We all went on a hay ride, had some hot chocolate and doughnuts, fed the animals, and of course picked out some pumpkins to take home and paint. The kids also enjoyed jumping around in the giant inflatable pumpkin and pedaling John Deeres around. It was a great fall afternoon spent with the ones I love most. I took around 60 photos- here are some on my favorites.

Meet Bruno!

We finally decided to break down and buy the kids the puppy they've been begging for. Last week we bought them an 8 week old beagle. He was approx 6 lbs when we brought him home and is prob still about the same. The kids love him and Brian and I like him most of the time... not so much when he is not whining to go outside at 4 AM in the morning, trying to bite the kids, or chewing on the kids toys. But he is a baby and bound to grow out if it, or so we hope.

The kids do a great job of helping us take care of him. They like to feed him, walk him, cuddle with him, and they even helped give him his first bath; although they still don't understand why he can't take a bath with them and why he doesn't need one every day. They also like to help brush his teeth. He is definetly in good hands.

Here's a few pics of Bruno and the kids bonding:

I think she may be right.

I think it's safe to say the Shuart clan is complete!
