Pumpkin Patch and Cotton Pickin- Yep, it's Fall Y'all



This is a busy time of year in the Pillow Academy Kindergarten. Anne Craig's 5K class went to the Simmons Pumpkin Patch near Belzoni last week and this morning they went to pick cotton. Not sure of that exact location. Anyway, these were great snaps taken by Anna Joyce Jefcoat who is room mother for her kiddos and I appreciated her snapping Anne Craig for me. Pictured with Anne Craig picking cotton is Caroline Brock (Don and Romney's). I hope everyone is getting in the mood for the fall season. It was 32 degrees this morning as I left for work. That is a bit chillier than I prefer but none the less it felt nice to bundle up and head out. It was the first morning of the season that I headed outdoors to crank the car a good 15 minutes before I actually drove off. Speaking of the season....It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas...IN OCTOBER for goodness sakes....The next thing you know, we’ll have people putting up lights on their houses and we haven’t even observed Halloween/Fall Festival (pick your poison) yet! And what about Thanksgiving? Do you expect me to eat turkey, sip bloody mary's, watch football and play yard croquet (yes, we are playing croquet this year. Melton/Trotter's against Swayze/Pillow's) as I stress about getting down the Christmas decorations b/c I have to be decorated in exactly 7 days after.....(save that for another blog)....
You see? It just doesn’t go together. September is harvest. October is Halloween. November is Thanksgiving. And December is CHRISTMAS! Enough said. Ahhhhh re reading my post... I think I started to rant...oops sorry bout that. Happy Halloween!!!

You'll have to fill me in on the yard croquet!!! Maybe we should start practicing b/c we can't let the Swayze/Pillow group beat us...the Melton/Trotter team is WAY TOO competitive!!! Can't wait to see you guys on Friday!!!

Can we play the winner or are ya'll scared of the Cookston Croquet Crew? We broke out our croquet set on Sunday and all the kids got quite competitive. I understand if you are worried about our mad croquet skillz we've been sharpening on Claiborne - I would be, too.
