One Busy Week

We had one busy week and this week isn't shaping up to be anything less...

On Monday we had a surprise visitor from home (aka California) and it was a much needed fix to lessen my homesickness. My pseudo brother Gene (Jimmy's best friend from his college days at UCLA) came to NYC to celebrate his 40th and he hopped a train to have dinner with little us. The girls had a blast with him and so did we. 

Preparations for the qualifier competition this coming weekend meant more cheerleading with almost no complaining by Shoosh as she has her eye on the prize, Nationals in Florida in December. I will post next week to let you all know how they do. Keep your fingers crossed. 

We wrapped up the week with our annual trip to the pumpkin patch. Elle was not quite her happy self at first and didn't enjoy everything the patch had to offer, but she finally warmed up to it and the trip was a success. 

Ted was his funny self...

& Elle had fun in the corn maze even though she kept getting lost..

& Kassidy is still complaining that I wouldn't actually buy anything but the sugar pumpkins from the patch and have gone to the market to get 3 pumpkins for $15 instead of the $30 for one there. She'll get it someday, I can only hope. 

Overall it was another great week and today was just the best!
