Pumpkin Patch and Carving

After lunch, we jumped in the car and headed to out round up our pumpkin. We hiked through the patch and found our $12 Jack. Joe and the girls showing off smiles and Jack.






And the process begins after dinner. Joe took the top off and scrapped out the seeds and guts.

Take a Look inside our JACK.....

EWWW.....Pumpkin GUTS!!

Too Cute and too Funny!!

Painting Nails

One of Papa's duties is to clip finger and toe nails. He just seemed to take that duty on. The girls are not HUGE fans of this task so we have to bribe with painting of the new trimmed nails.

Avery's turn

Natale watching intently.

This was FUN watching, but Papa may not be too happy with this post.

Toddler trip to the Pumpkin patch

Today, we met Natale's preschool class at Carleton farms off of Sunnyside Blvd. near Frontier Village. When we arrived, we loaded up into hay wagon and took a ride to the patch and then trekked thru the field and found her prize....

After the hay ride, we watched Ms Kayla shoot a pumpkin out of a cannon x2.

The kiddos enjoyed their snack time receiving a cupcake to decorate with frosting and candy corns. Natale slid down a tube slide , ran thru a maze and then Mama took her to check out the animal barn. There were peacocks, a few goats, a sheep and a Mama chicken with 2 brand new babies with more eggs hatching in the nest.

Mama and Nat

Natale is just over 3 ft tall...

She found her pun-kin....

We had a great, sunny day at the pumpkin patch and I hope to get the whole family there before the end of the month....stay tuned!

First Day of Toddler Time

Today was Natale's first day of Toddler Time. She attends every Friday at Lake Country Preschool (where Avery attended Pre-K).

Natale has been talking about her new school too. After Avery started school last week Natale keeps asking "when I go?" She misses Avery every day and asks where Avery is at all day long....

Avery was super excited for Natale to go to her old school. Avery would tell her about the Teachers and what kind of stuff she would be doing at school. Natale LOVES Toddler time, but there have been a few tears as Mama leaves. She will ask ALL week, "when I go to school?" I reply "soon or in a few days" Then on Fridays after we drop Avery off, I start to tell her we have to get ready for school and she then states "I don't want to go"....What? You've nagged me ALL week. We arrive to the school and she is excited until Mama says "BYE, Bye." Ms. Amy has assured Mama that the timidness doesn't last long. Ms. Amy also shared with me, that Natale will answer most of her questions she asks the toddlers at circle (what's this animal, color, shape) and at playtime Natale is too CUTE with her pretend play!! :)

We are so Happy to part of Lake Country Preschool again this year!!

Big Yellow Bus

Avery's 2nd day of school meant we'd be catching the school bus in the early morning. Avery has been talking non-stop about the riding the bus ALL summer long. Mama was a bit nervous about her being on the bus for almost an hour before school started. I talked to several neighbors that were also going to put their Kindy's on the bus, I felt a bit better knowing that Avery had two little friends on the bus with to keep her company. Avery was SO EXCITED to ride the bus!! Here is our adventure to the bus stop on the first day.
Walking to the stop...

Avery saying "BYE Mama!!"
