My Wee Pirates

It is never easy leaving the kids in the morning, but this particular morning was a bit harder.  The kids jumped out of their beds and immediately wanted to put on pirate gear.  Of course Mady had to play along too.  This girl is always in the mix.  Ben had a hook hand and Eli was Jake.  Eli was in character for the remainder of the day.  Thank you Disney Junior for making notorious thieves seem like wholesome characters...gotta love it.

Harvest

Some friends of ours have a small vineyard in Fredericksburg and they invited us to help with the Merlot harvest a couple of weeks ago.  It was really cool "helping" with the harvest.  We really just watched everyone work and Mady ate a ton of grapes.  Hopefully, next year we can actually help harvest all of the grapes.
