Pumpkins & Parties

It was a whirlwind weekend but a super fun one!  I was able to chaperone Alex’s field trip to the Pumpkin Farm on Friday with his 4K class.  It was so much fun to see Alex in his element with his friends and I had a good time too with the parents that went along.  The kids went on a spooky hayride which led to a corn maze and pumpkin patch.  There were games for the kids, a small petting zoo, and a bounce house.  I got a little glimpse of Alex in the classroom and I loved that he was having fun and learning.  The teacher said if there is any patch of grass in sight, Alex is playing baseball with his friend, Ben.  Gotta love it!

Spooky hayride!

We were the first group through the corn maze and into the pumpkin patch!

The fishing pond was a big hit!

Alex's 4K class
On Saturday, we had a double birthday party to attend.  All the boys in Alex's class were invited to a birthday/costume party.  Seems like the theme among the boys was super heroes except for Alex, of course.  He gets to be the Italian Racing Sausage this year and he is so pumped!   Then it was off to my friend Zack & Katie's house to celebrate Ty's 5th birthday.  We got to meet little Miss Josephine who just turned 1 month old!  We had a good time as always!!

Cake Time!
 We ended the weekend carving pumpkins.  Seanie has been so protective over those pumpkins since we brought them home on Friday.  He insisted on putting them on the couch next to him while he watched TV and you can't dare move them!  The boys don't love pumpkin carving and they usually give me just a few minutes of their time which leaves most of the work for Mom.  But we still had a good time with it and I think they turned out okay in the end.

The boys looked inside the pumpkin and Seanie goes, "Ewww" and
Alex says, "I don't think this is a good idea."  LOL!

Bath time to clean up!

All clean and ready for jammies :)


Lovin' our favorite honey crisp apples!

 The boys were thrilled that we got to see Uncle Mark play his volleyball game this past week.  You did a great job, Mark!  Keep up the good work!!

Our other BIG news is that Seanie is now in a BIG boy (toddler) bed.  He has been climbing out of his crib so we thought it was time to convert to the toddler bed for him.  He was a little confused at first because his head always nestled in the corner of the crib that we just took down.  But he's doing pretty good adjusting and it hasn't been an issue so far with him getting out of bed.  Yay for Sean! 
 
Last time in the crib :(
