brought home a bag of kid picked apples ~macs and cortlands (honey crisps were all gone :(  

2 pumpkins for carving

oh yeah and a bag of cider DONUTS!!!!!!!!

*did i mention they were good?  just checking.

** yes teen mia as usual, off to church, then a party then the movies with a girlfriend, besides she would have been BORED except for the cider DONUTS!!!!   frankly she would have been my competition for those.  

*** totally embarrassing side note here:  we put our loot in the car and headed toward the animal area where a large metal piggy bank made from a barrel and painted pink sits.  here is where you may leave a donation for the care and keep of the animals, all good.  well casey and i are out in front heading toward said pig.

casey says quite loud and CLEAR, "look momma a pig just like you!"  

me:  "huh???!!!"

c: again in case i and all around had not heard her the first time, "look momma a pig JUST LIKE YOU"

me:blushing shrinking not knowing who the heck told her to call me a pig!  grrrrr

c: 1 more time for the masses"MOM-MMMAAA  a pig just like you."  annoyed since i was not getting her great insight to the situation.  

guide her to the live sheep to distract her from repeating it once more. i tell j what she said he of course laughs not knowing why she would say that.  then we pass goats, rabbit, and there they are, 2 pigs in a pen.   she now turns to us both and proudly says... "look daddy a pig just like you"  HAR!!!

now i get it she thinks it was a big pig therefore it is a mommy or daddy pig, not a baby pig!!!! OHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!

**** 1 more thing i promise....  last year i discovered the sweet candy goodness of a honey crisp apple.  i was missing out!  how did this elude me all my years?  now today, apple cider DONUTS!!!  (sorry it truly requires the caps and !!!) now this travesty!  how did i live all these years and never have a cider donut?  truly i was not raised right (sorry mom).  :)
