Yesterday, Chris and I had to run some errands and ended up going through a town not too far from where we live called Hoschton. This little town just set the world record for the largest number of scarecrows displayed in a specified town. The previous record was 3,311, but the residents of Hoschton shattered that record by erecting 5,441 scarecrows. That's pretty amazing, huh?
It's so neat to drive through the town and see nearly every street corner, yard, and open field covered with scarecrows of all different varieties. I just couldn't resist snapping a few photos of some that we saw. We will definitely have to take the girls back this weekend. Abby, especially, would love seeing all of them!
Hoschton is having a fall festival with food and crafts, so that should be lots of fun, with plenty of great weather!
Of course, Brittany asked the dreaded question..."Can Andrew come, too?" Abby and I rolled our eyes back in our heads AGAIN !! Why does she always feel the need to drag him along anytime we want to do something together as a family? Oh, HELP ME!! :)

That would be a fun town to visit. What a collection! I remember a time when my sister's boyfriend HAD to come - according to her - with us on family outings and I SO resented it. It felt like a major intrusion, so I know how you feel... Girls in their mid-teens still need to hear the word "no" from their parents and hopefully learn to appreciate what it is their family needs from them - it sure ain't too much to ask that the four of you go on an outing... So, I hope for all your sakes you get to take this lovely day trip together... Blessings...
Wow...I have never heard of such a thing...how fun is that!
Having family time is important and there are times for "Andrew" and then there are not! smile!

Hi April,
Thanks for stopping by my blog! I love this post about the scarecrows-That is an amazing amount of scarecrows!
I love your blog and will be back~!

Hi April, I found your blog from the comment that you left on Sandy's blog at "Shell in your Pocket". Looks like we have a lot in common girl! We are both from Georgia for one and I too have had infertillity issues. One year, one miscarriage and 3 rounds of Clomid later I had a beautiful baby boy. Sadly, my husband and I are dealing with my second miscarriage that I suffered only 3 weeks ago. We will get through it and try again. I would love to hear from you. I am new to blogger world. Drop in on my blog anytime.
That is so neat! Hope you guys have fun at the fall festival. I would just explain to Brittany that it's family day. No boyfriends this time. Have a great weekend!
Hey April,
I missed this entry that you posted. You got me so absorbed in the tag game, I just skipped right past this one. Just so you know, I did participate and if you haven't had a chance to check it out... believe me, if you didn't think I was weird before, you'll know now that I definitely have issues. LOL
Anywho, I can relate to how you feel on inviting the boyfriend to everything with the family. We do absolutely adore and love Morgan's boyrfriend. However, we have to constantly remind her that they're not even married and there's just no need to invite him to every family event. They seem to be so absorbed with each other here lately. Girl, we seem to have more and more in common especially when it comes to these teenagers.
Hope you're having a good weekend so far.
