Pumpkin Patch Fun

Hello all!! Christa's class took a field trip to the Pumpkin Patch last week. They were supposed to go the week we were in Miami, so I thought we would have to miss out, but the weather up here was too cold, so they had to reschedule. It worked out perfectly for us, because we got to participate!! I decided to leave Elizabeth at home with a babysitter so that I could have more fun with Christa. I thought Abby Kate would enjoy it, so we brought her along. It was a very fun day with perfect, Fall weather!

Christa and Abby Kate with Christa's good friend, Taylor. They have been in class together for two years, and Taylor's mom is Abby Kate's teacher this year. Abby Kate, in typical Abby-Kate-fashion, ran right along with the big kids the whole day!

They had a petting zoo and a fun hayride. After the hayride, the kids got to swing on this "horse" swing.

They also had a racetrack where the kids could "ride" stick horses. Christa decided she didn't want to do this part, but Abby Kate loved it!

The Lively Lion class!

After we finished our activities, the kids got to pick out a little pumpkin to take home.



Me and my girls!

Last Friday, I took the kids to a Halloween party. Christa wanted to be Dorothy this year, so I made the executive decision that Abby Kate would be the Cowardly Lion and Elizabeth would be the Scarecrow. I'm getting my themes in before the little people can speak their opinions too loudly :)

The lighting at the party was terrible, but I had to include this picture of Abby Kate doing the "cookie walk." (It's similar to a "cake walk"). She loved it, and did it over and over again right along with the big kids. I couldn't talk Christa into participating in this activity, but she enjoyed the coloring sheets and bean bag toss.

Miss Elizabeth wearing an adorable hand-me-down! She is still so laid back and is content to lay in place on her tummy wherever I put her. What a great 3rd child she is!

She can sort of sit up. She leans forward a lot, and falls over on her side after a few seconds, but we're getting there :)

Christa loves holding her baby sister!
