The Mims: What's been going on?!

Things have been busy the last couple of months so I have not taken time to post. Now I am back with new and old events to post on. Tatum is still loving school and is doing extremely well! She had her first fieldtrip in September to the Firestation. The class had a great time touring the building and looking at the trucks. They even got to witness the firemen in action as they left the station to help whoever needed it. It was a fun fieldtrip and I am thankful I am able to be there for that stuff. October 22nd she had another fieldtrip to the Pumpkin Patch and it was ALOT of fun. Their where alot of games and other activities for the kids to do and they all had a blast. They also got to go on a hayride and pick out their very own pumpkin. Tate found a cute little pumpkin and then broke the stem by accident so we had to find a new one. As we where waiting for everyone to get back on the hayride, Tatum started crying. I asked her what was wrong and she was upset because her new pumpkin was not as small as the first one. Most kids want the biggest pumpkin, but not her. It was pretty funny! This fieldtrip was an all day event and I think all the parents where more worn out than the kids. Tatum also got her first report card a couple of weeks ago and she made all G's (A's). She is doing so well and we are very proud of her.
Now, on to the little ones! Cason has turned into the biggest clown lately. He makes everything a joke and at times it is funny but most of the time it drives me up the wall! When he isn't busy clowning around he is a great helper! The boy can clean his room like no other and when he is done with his he heads to his sisters! Tatum always whinned and complained that cleaning her room made her sweat (seriously) and Raileigh walks from room to room acting is if she is doing something. But Cason on the other hand gets to work and gets it done right. He has also expanded his vocabulary and is no longer talking like a caveman. I love to listen to him get on to his sisters!
Speaking of sisters, lets move on to Raileigh! She is still spending her days trying to make me nuts!!! She is NEVER still, NEVER quite, ALWAYS does the opposite of what I tell her to do, VERY sneaky and the BEST cuddle buddy EVER!!! Honestly, there are not enough words in the english language to describe her. You could spend a day with Tatum and Cason and pretty much see what their personalities are like, but you would have to spend a week or longer with Raileigh just to get somewhat of an idea and that is just if you survive! Poor baby, she gets such a bad rap. She really is fun to be around and she is very smart. She makes us laugh daily and is usually the topic of discussion when all the kiddo's are in bed. I love how all three of them are so different from one another.
Onto other things... we took the kids to a different Pumpkin Patch this past Saturday and had a great time. We went last year but Cason and Raileigh where alot smaller and didn't really know what was going on. This year they where big enough to not need a stroller and just have fun! Raileigh was the brave one last year and rode a horse while Tatum and Cason chickened out but this year the roles where reversed. Tatum is starting to come out of her shell alot when it comes to doing new things and so is Cason. They all fed the animals and loved it! Cason probably went through 10 things of feed and everytime he ran out he would go throw his cup away and stand and look at the man, wondering why he was not giving him more. It was too cute! They all had a blast looking for pumpkins! Tatum was such a big helper and found Cason and Raileigh pumpkins before finding her own. Raileigh enjoyed straying off in the field (go figure). It was a fun day! I am done now... Enjoy the pictures!!!

My little Prince!
