Pumpkins and Peeps

We had a fun week planned -- MOMS group on Wednesday, playing with friends on Thursday, and meeting another friend at an indoor playground today. Too bad none of those things happened since I came down with the plague Wednesday morning. Who knows if it was H1N1 or some other virus, but I was not well. I feel much better now but still not great. But luckily we got our "fall fix" before the sickness came to town. Last Saturday the girls, grandma Susanne, and I went to the Eveland Family Farm down the road from us. The girls loved petting the animals, doing the hayride for the first time, and picking out a pumpkin.

On Monday night we carved pumkins and the girls colored/wiped/put stickers on their little pumpkins.

And now, here are the girls in this year's costumes -- Peeps.

Stay tuned tomorrow for more Halloween pictures!

"Heart's Cry" Lyrics

This is my heart's cry
I want to know the one who saved me and gave me life
This is my heart's cry to be so close to Him that all my life becomes
A testimony of my Savior's grace and love
This is my heart's cry

This is my heart's cry
Much more than just a great desire - it's like a fire in me
I hear my heart cry each time I think about the cross where Jesus died
The cross should have been mine but His love broke through time
And heard my heart's cry - he heard my heart's cry

Now every other hope and dream is lost inside of this one thing
To know the one who died for me and live my life for Jesus Christ
Is my heart's cry

So let my life become a testimony of my Savior's grace and love
Oh - this is my heart's cry - to stand before the Father one day
And hear Him say well done - this is my heart's cry

"One Heartbeat at a Time" lyrics

You're up all night with a screaming baby
You run all day at the speed of life
And every day you feel a little bit less
Like the beautiful woman you are

So you fall into bed when you run out of hours
And you wonder if anything worth doing got done
Oh, maybe you just don't know
Or maybe you've forgotten

You, you are changing the world
One little heartbeat at a time
Making history with every touch and every smile
Oh, you, you may not see it now
But I believe that time will tell
How you, you are changing the world
One little heartbeat at a time

With every "I know you can do it"
Every tear that you kiss away
So many little things that seem to go unnoticed
They're just like the drops of rain over time
They become a river

And you, you are changing the world
One little heartbeat at a time
Making history with every touch and every smile
Oh, you, you may not see it now
But I believe that time will tell
How you, you are changing the world
One little heartbeat at a time

You're beautiful
You're beautiful
How you're changing the world
You're changing the world
You, you are changing the world
One little heartbeat at a time
Making history with every touch and every smile
Oh, you, you may not see it now
But I believe that time will tell
How you, you are changing the world
Oh, I believe that you
You are changing the world
One little heartbeat
At a time
And you're changing the world
