holley farms field trip

Harrison's class went on their first field trip of the year to the pumpkin patch at Holley Farms.  They had a ball!
They searched for the perfect pumpkin...
 and Harrison finally found his!
 Best buddies...Kaden and Harrison

 This old truck is the entrance to...
 this really cool slide.  The kids LOVED it!
 They also had a fun playground with hay bales to jump on.
 Singing silly farm songs!
 Harrison and Kaden riding the train!

 Tire swing!
The kids also jumped in the corn pit, toured the corn maze and visited the farm animals.  It was a crazy day with the kindergarteners, but we had a fantastic time!

painting pumpkins

We headed to the Farmer's Market after school to pick out some pumpkins and gourds...
 
heavy!

then we headed home, washed our pumpkins and started to paint!

We usually carve our pumpkins, so this was a fun change for the kids.  It's equally as messy as carving the pumpkins, but a different kind of messy!  



 They were really into this project!


Pretty pumpkins!  :)

busy saturday!

We are loving the great weather these days and are taking every opportunity to spend some time outside.  Saturday was beautiful and we soaked it up!

Harrison and I started with a play date at the park with his friend from school, Kaden.

We met Kaden and his mom at the park and played and visited for 2 hours.  The boys really weren't ready to go when the 2 hours were over, but Harrison had additional plans for the afternoon.
Sweet boys!

After the park we headed over to Clay Maynard's birthday party.  Robin had a huge inflatable slide in the back yard that the boys LOVED!  Clay wanted a football party, so all the boys came dressed in their favorite jerseys.  Harrison loved being surrounded by boys all day!  It was hard to get the boys to slow down long enough for a picture, but here's my boy in his maroon!

FUN!
After the party, Ben and Cameron came over and joined us for dinner and then, the kids favorite - S'mores!  We recently got a new chiminea (or however you spell it!), so the kids had been dying to make a fire and roast marshmallows.  I personally think chocolate makes everything much, much better, so we made the S'mores!  Delish!


Getting ready to toast some marhmallows!


Yum!

Cameron spent the night with us, so we got up and had pancakes....here are the little bedheads now.  They kept talking about how much fun they had last night.  I love that!
Such a fun weekend!

sweet puppy

The kids really wish we had a dog like this...one that likes to run and play.


Poor Kirby isn't much on playing these days, but Libby is full of energy!  She lives in our neighborhood and comes over quite a bit.  They love her!
