Pumpkin Patch Adventures

We were at my mom and dad's house this past weekend. We caught a football game on Friday night (it was a blowout). The kids had a blast at the game. P. took a friend from school, as his grandma lives in the same town as my mom and dad. The two boys had a great time following Papa around. They even got a tour of the locker room and joined in the team huddle for the cheer at the end of the game. They thought they were pretty cool...and they were!
On Sunday, we went to the pumpkin patch. M. loved the pumpkins! She would bang on it like a drum. P. and K. spent a lot of time climbing the pumpkins. They each rode a pony, too. (We got the zippy ponies and Papa and I almost had to jog to keep up!)
Some warm apple cider donuts and kettle corn rounded out the morning! We had a great time during our visit (as usual).

It's been awhile

Well, I haven't entered anything in the blog for awhile, but it is not for lack of things going on. It is actually quite the opposite. I was out of town two weekends ago (Kevin did a wonderful job with all three by himself and M. is now taking a bottle like a pro). This weekend away made for a very relaxed and very happy mommy! Thanks to my brother and all his roomates for their hospitality, but most of all thanks to my mom for so graciously hosting the weekend.

P. is busy with soccer and school. He is loving that he is learning to read. K. is really liking MOPS this year and calls it her school. She also started gymnastics this past week. She has already "mastered" the forward roll and can be found rolling everywhere in the house.

M. is CRAWLING!!! She started when I was gone and has not slowed down since! She loves this newfound freedom, as does her brother. K., not so much. Probably because one of the things M. heads straight for are baby dolls. Looks like Santa will be bringing one for M. to help smooth things over!

On a sad note, Jadier has died (P.'s fish). I was changing his water this morning and I apparently replaced it with water that was a tad too warm without realizing it. We came back from picking P. up from school and I noticed a lack of movement, and then I noticed the steam coming off the water. So, Jadier is being replaced tonight with Larry Johnson. Not your typical trade, but one that will work in this house!

Enjoy the movie of M. crawling! (sorry, but I can't get it to rotate. P. and K. are calling her Spider Baby)
