From Alyssa - "Mom, what happens to the cows during a tornado? Does the farmer get them and take them to the basement? Because he sure doesn't take care of them now!"
From Isaiah (the day after his 4th birthday) - "Mom, I am 4 now and all my clothes still fit" I say "yes, Isaiah, even though you are 4 we did not have to go buy you all new clothes." Isaiah - " yeah, we will only have to do that when I am a teenager."
From Ella --Ok, nothing to ponder, but quite a bit of biting her brother--UUGGHHH.

We shall meet on that beautiful shore
Ok, so we sang "In the sweet, by and by" at the end of the church service we visited today. It was complete with the fiddle and everything! It has left me singing and smiling since we left.

A few things of note about Tennessee
1. Walking/running the hills in this great state is sure to get my keester a little more toned right? I might just be back to Flakey Jakes "Best Buns in town" Gotta have goals!!
2. The size and relative coordination of your daughter's hair bow to her outfit is a status symbol. Even better if the mother makes the hair bows and subsequently starts her own business selling them to all the other mothers.
3. After almost 4 weeks here, Alyssa can no longer say "home" or "no" in just one syllable.
4. Our son is turning into a bully. I don't know if this is related to Tennessee, but troubling nonetheless. We think he gets that from his papaw smith who reportedly required neighborhood kids to pay him a quarter to play in his yard.
5. Fall is AMAZING here!
6. I actually have to think about it before saying "cart" at the grocery store. Buggy is on the tip of my tongue!
7. Big hair and blue eyeliner! Enough said

Birthdays.
Alyssa had her friends Riane and Claire over to play today and they shared her birthday cake.
Doesn't this picture crack you up. He has the funniest look on his face!
Birthday boy!
Alyssa and Isaiah both wanted us to hide their birthday presents so they could find them. So, you see some of the hunt. Alyssa got an Easy Bake Oven (old school kind with the light bulb and everything.) See her with her first creation. She thought it was just great! Overall, they had great birthdays!
Apple Festival--Fun, sort of
Isaiah and Gran hanging in the shade.
Here are some pictures of the apple festival. And, NO, I did not get a fried apple pie. Everyone was sold out. So, I was VERY let down!!! And, my gyro was less than stellar. But, the kids thought it was fun. Check out Alyssa on this trampoline type contraption which allowed her to jump very high and do flips. She LOVED it!!!

A perk
We are planning to go to the Apple Festival in Erwin (the town Tim works in) this weekend. I was reading online about the activities and treats that are available and one of the treats listed was FRIED APPLE PIES! My great aunt Aud used to make the BEST fried pies in the world. This is definitely a perk of living in Tennessee. You do not get fried pies at Indiana apple festivals! I can't wait!!!!!
