Fun at the Pumpkin Farm

K...E...and I went to a pumpkin farm with a friend from play group and her two girls. K had lots of fun riding in the hay wagon...looking at BIG pumpkins, riding in a pumpkin ride and going through a straw maze. She loved looking at some goats, sheep, turkeys, chickens, smelly pigs and even a kitten. K wanted to pick out a pumpkin so I showed her where the small pumkins were and she picked one up and tried to bite it like an apple. She thought you could eat it...how silly. She loved the pumpkin donut and the apple cider...she really enjoyed being with her friend J.

Dancing girl

K...just loves the tv show dancing with the stars....she will say.."I can do it too...watch me". It is the cutest thing to see....She is so sad when we tell her the show is done...(well..over for her because it is her bedtime..she would love to watch the whole show but when it ends at 9:30 at night...she is a bear the next day.)

E...is growing like a weed. She is smiling and starting to talk..well make noises. It is fun to see her growing and developing new things.

D's XC season is coming to an end soon. He has regionals and then maybe one of his guys might make it to state finals....I think D will want to go anyway to watch other schools.

Life of a two year old!

A few days ago...it had snowed and K got up that morning saying that she was going to put on her boots, go outside and walk in the snow. When asked if she wanted to go and play outside...she said, " no mom.....I will get wet." but she had to tell the snow good night when it was time to go to bed. She had already gotten in bed and then I heard her little feet run back out to our living room and she said goodnight snow and blew it a kiss. I hope once the snow comes and stays that K will want to build a snowman with me.

Doesn't look like too much spaghetti.......

Time Flies

It seems like just yesterday that I wrote. I have been a little bit busy. let's see....on Monday I had my play group over....It was 6 moms and 11 kids....needless to say...it was a little bit loud with the kids but then they wanted to go outside and jump on the trampoline. Monday night I had my women's small group...Tuesday didn't do too much but E was a little fussy. Tuesday night we had D's boys XC team as well as the girls XC team over for spaghetti dinner. We were planning on 30-35 kids coming...so I cooked 9 lbs of pasta! Only 12 kids ended up coming so we have lots of left over spaghetti. K was so excited that the boys were coming over. She was sure that they were going to have a race in the house. She even showed me where they were going to race. She ran around the table into the living room several times....when she was done....she took some deep breaths (as if she was out of breathe) and said...."I think they can do that." She was convinced that they were coming over to see her since she couldn't go and see them because it was a little cool outside. She is definitely has her own ideas.

Today....I went to my bible study at church and then went to a girlfriends house to hang out a little. It was fun to talk with her and have K play with her son.

What a great day!

I have had a great day with my kids. I decided that I know a lot of women that are stay at home moms or work part time that have kids that like to play together. I like to go and visit with them and so I decided that I wanted to have a play date so that I can visit with several at a time and then have our kids play together. Well today....I decided it would be time for that. I had 4 other women over and 7 other kids over. It was a fun time with food, fellowship and playtime. K just loves other kids. She wants to have them over all the time. :) There were four of us that had a second child this year! It was fun. K just loved being the only girl besides E at the house. She was surrounded by handsome boys!

D is doing well...the XC boys seem to be running ok. It's hard to believe that the regular season is almost over. Teaching seems to be going well also.

E is still growing like a weed. She is now 10 lbs. 2 1/2 oz. She had her 2 month check up and seems to be right on target. She is smiling and blwoing bubbles...it is amazing how quickly she is growing!
