Making Pretzels
Yesterday we went on another field trip, we went to the pretzel factory in Sweedsboro. It was really cool, we got to see how they mixed everything, and then we were able make our own.
At first I made an "F".
And Reyna made a circle.
And Marianna made a flower.
But then I changed my mind and made the Lighting McQueen slash.Working hard
Yesterday morning, we went out VERY early in the morning to help Daddy get ready for hunting season. We took out the four wheeler, and looked for corn, while he cleaned up the feilds with the back-hoe. It was a lot of work, but it was still fun. All three of us love to go outside and work with Daddy. It is one of our faviorte things to do.

The girls
I feel asleep before we even made it out of their drive way, it is a very long drive way, but man, I was tired!!
Flying Pumpkins
Yesterday our church youth group participated in the local Pumpkin Chuckin' event. The idea is to build a catapult of sorts, to launch a small pumpkin. They had two competitions, one was for distance, and one was for accuracy. Our church's went farthest, by far, it went well over 300 feet. Here is our friend Jesse trying for accuracy, as you can see the pumpkin went just above "Fred" the scarecrows head. Oh well, there is always next year.
Really Big Pumpkins
Yesterday we went on another field trip to Longwood Gardens. It was very nice, and beautiful. They had everything decorated in fall, the colors were beautiful. There were even some pumpkins that were bigger than all three of us. They were huge!! We did have fun walking around and looking at the different flowers, and smelling them. We are hoping to go back with Gran and Grandpa for Christmas time.
Carving up a Smile
On Thursday, we pulled out the blanket and carved the pumpkins we got earlier this week. It was great. At first the girls were a little nervous about putting their hands in the pumpkin guts, they really didn't like the slimey stuff, and hey to be honest, I wasn't thrilled with it. But it is a job that has to be done.
Reyna wanted to carve her little pumpkin, but Daddy said it was to small, and so he made a comprise with her and drew a pumpkin face on it for her.
So here is our three pumpkins all lite up and ready to go. (The third one was one that we got from the Johnson Farm a few weeks ago.)
Pumpkin and the Patch
Earlier this week we went to Marlboro Market to pick out our pumpkins. It was a tad bit cold, but we found some good pumpkins. 
Reyna found the perfect baby pumpkin....just the right size for her.
and Marianna found the perfect medium size pumpkin just for her.
And, I found myself a "pumpkin head". (Mommy calls us pumpkin head, when she gets confused on which kid she wants to call)

Mommy and Daddy celebrated their eight year anniversary earlier this month, and to celebrate they away to the Pocono Balloon Festival. They said the trees were beautiful, but they didn't get to see any of the balloons, because it rained the whole weekend. Oh well, we had a great time at Mom-Mom and Pop-Pop's.
Cousn's Birthday
Last week we went to Faith (4) and Lee's (3) birthday part. It was a perfect day for an outside party. Here we are all enjoying the birthday cakes...that is right we got two different cakes. One was pink and one was blue. What a way to celebrate.
Then Faith and Lee opened their presents. They got a some really nice things.
Happy birthday to each of them...we are so blessed to be living so close to our cousins, and having them so close together in age, Frankie was only 3 years and 4 months when Oliver was born. That is six kids in 3 and 1/3 year...pretty cool.Not Me Monday
Although it is VERY early on Monday morning, it is still Monday. And you know what time that is don't you....that's right it is a "Not Me Monday" time. It is time for bloggers around the
Frankie (age 4 1/2)-- I did not share by lollipop with my 1 year old sister, and give her one while she was in her crib waiting for Mommy to get her from her nap. And Mommy did not go into her room to get her from the nap, only for her to find a green dum-dum in her mouth, and on her face, and all over her hands, and on her bedding. I do admit to being a good big brother, and sharing with my sister, but I know better than to give Reyna a lollipop, especially after Mommy has told me time and time again that she is to young to have one.

I also did not take the Wii remote into the potty, and set it down on the side of the bathtub to do my thing, and then leave it there. I then did not start a massive search for it, bringing in my Mommy to help, and for her to find it very shortly. Nah, I do enjoy playing the Wii, but I do not take it into the bathroom with me. Come on, that would just be gross!

Marianna (age 3) -- After my bath, earlier this week, I did not get all dressed, and my hair comb. I was looking real cute to go out for the afternoon. I didn't go back in the bathroom while Mommy was trying to get Reyna all dolled up, when I did not make a very big splash. Mommy did not rush into the bathroom, only to find me there in the tub with Frankie. Nah, it wasn't me, I can only admit to being extra clean.

I also was not helping Mommy clean the kitchen up, and did not then did not find these really pretty little square stickers with a beautiful necklace and a big number 2 on them. I did not take the stickers off of the paper, and stick them on me, the kitchen counter, the dishwasher, the cabinets. I can only admit to helping Mommy clean and make the kitchen beautiful, how was I to know that they were stamps.
(PS NOTE FROM MOMMY: Luckily they were only 2 cent stamps)

Reyna Marie (1 1/2 years) -- I did not go in the bathroom, (even though Mommy and Daddy tells me ten times a day that it is not a playground, and I shouldn't be in there) and then somehow have the door close on me. I did not then start quietly knocking on the door trying to get someone's attention to let me out of the bathroom, and when no one came to my rescue, I did not start screaming for Mommy. When she did rescue me, I did give her a hug, and hope that she wouldn't say "I told you so". Nah, it wasn't me I listen to both of my parents, and know how smart they are. I understand that the bathroom is not a playground.

I did not find Daddy's half drunk coffee cup sitting on the table, and did not climb up on the chair, and take a BIG sip, nor did I spill it all over me, the chair and the kitchen floor that Mommy had just mopped. Nah, it wasn't me, and it wasn't me who stayed up till way past ten that night, nor did I have terribly yuck smelly diapers this week after not drinking Daddy's coffee.

PS NOTE FROM MOMMY: Why is it that this week of "Not Me Mondays", all three of my children had something to do with the bathroom. I tell ya, some weeks, the only way we make it is to laugh.
Harvest Festival
Today we all loaded up in the van and took a drive down the road to the Harvest Festival. It was a nice fall evening, and although it wasn't what Mommy and Daddy thought it would be, we still had a great time. We were able to go on a few rides, have a really good dinner, and best of all....eat FUNNEL CAKE! We love funnel cake! We had such a good time, that Marianna started to cry when we were leaving, saying she wanted to stay some more. Maybe next year. 
Getting Ready!
I woke up extra early for church, and decided I was going to get dressed all by myself. And so that is what I did. I my pants on, and my shirt. Hey, I even put on a tie. I don't understand why, but Mommy and Daddy had me get dressed into a different outfit, but they still let me wear my tie.
Not Me Monday!
Well, it has been a very long time from the last time we had a post dedicated to tell about some of the crazy things that we have done. The break was simply due to the fact that Mommy has been just to busy to help post, and not due to the fact that we are perfect children, and would never dream of doing something that would be worthy enough to be posted on a site like MckMama's.
FRANKIE (4 1/2)--I, being the great son and wonderful brother that I am, did not want to help Mommy out by cooking breakfast for my sister and I. So, I didn't put some pancakes in the toaster by myself, and then decide to make some chocolate milk. So, I then didn't make the girls and I chocolate milk from coco powder, spilling the canister all over the counter. I didn't then draw pretty pictures in said spilled coco powder leaving Mommy an encouraging note for when she came to clean up the mess. Nah! It wasn't me, it must have been the other cute blonde boy running around.
Marianna (3)--While having breakfast at Mom-Mom and Pop-Pop's house with our entire family, I did not think that I am big girl, and old enough to pour my own syrup on my pancakes. So, while Daddy was helping Frankie with his syrup, I did not take my chance and pour half the bottle on my pancakes. My plate didn't look like a syrup swimming pool for pancakes. Nah! It wasn't me, I am a young lady, and I know how to eat like one too.
Reyna (1 1/2)--While during school earlier this week, I did not get into Frankie's crayon box and did not put an earser into my mouth, and then when Mommy asked me what was in my mouth, I did not take the eraser out of my mouth, then open my mouth and stick out my tougne to show Mommy that there was indeed nothing in my mouth. Nah! It wasn't me, I would not be trying to trick Mommy already, after all I am only a baby.
3's Company
This morning, Mommy heard A LOT of extra noise in the baby monitor, and something about us being in the same bed. She knew that Reyna was still in the crib, so she decided that she better go and check it out before someone got hurt, and what did she find once she got there?
This could be
TROUBLE!!
