The Reed Five

On Monday there was no school here..I'm not sure why, but anyway...Some friends of ours and us went to a local farm/produce store for a fun day in the fall sun. We picked our pumpkins and got some delicious watermelon, corn, squash, and gourds. They have the farm set up for some pretty fun playing also. There is and old old old fashioned corn grinder thing that the kids used to get food for the ducks. They did that for at least an hour. Harvest time here is pretty crazy and some very good eating. Many husbands are our on the farms from 4 am to midnight and the wives stay in the kitchens all day canning their brains out. There really is more food then you can eat. What a blessing that is. Morgan will be turning one in 2 weeks. That is crazy. She is walking all over the place. Crawling is for sissies. Lauren was really sick this week. She had no fever but she was up all night barfing her guts out and was home from school. Morgan also threw up a few times but never really seemed sick. Landon was not sick thank goodness. We are going to the fair tonight. It's a love/hate family activity. Fun for the kids but crazy and dirty. Lauren has her first soccer game tomorrow and is super excited, as am I. Conference will be fun to watch although I wish I was watching/listening from the cabin. My biggest wish is to keep my family from getting sick nonstop like last year. UGH!
