Just as a side-note, someone asked about replacing the pacifier. I did not replace it with anything, but she still has her special blanket and a sweet doll that she has slept with from day one.
The second thing is we made it through this weekend!!! BOY was it jammed full . . . and we didn't even get to do it all! It began with a Build and Grow day at Lowe's, our favorite Saturday morning activity. (When I say "we", you all know where I'm going with this, I mean Daddy Lion!) This Saturday, Little Pumpkin joined the boys.
While they were enjoying their bonding time with tools, I went to a local craft bizarre. Lots of my friends were there with their creative geniuses! I almost managed to get out without anything. . . a fun Christmas necklace was calling my name! Technically, I didn't leave with it. . . the gal is making a few modifications for me. *wink*
Next the long awaited Pumpkin Patch!!! Moore Farms is our favorite one. Well, it's the only one I've found remotely like what I miss. We had lots of fun even if we were rushed a bit. I'm just glad we got to go at all!
Little Pumpkin loved the maze for the little ones! She was running like a wild child through there. . . until she meet the other kid. Well, you can watch the video . . . pretty funny. She did finish the maze once the kid left. *smile*
Daddy Lion patiently waiting for the hay ride . . . honestly, probably for the whole trip to be over! *wink*
Then off to our next adventure! We had a small group bonfire . . . minus the bonfire. It just wasn't going to light. But we did have a small fire large enough for roasting marshmallows! You know, the important stuff! *wink*
Lots of fun with all kinds of scooters, bikes, roller blades, and a wiggle something . . . it was very cool. Anyway, Little Pumpkin found these little roller blades/skates. She did amazingly well on them!

These pics are VERY special - sure would have had fun with you if there!! Kate is offto learning something new - the adventures of 2! Yeh!!!no pacifier to deal with anymore! What a milestone. Have fun carving those pumpkins son.

Your pumpkin patch pictures are adorable. Glad you could make it. Maybe we could photoshop all our kids into one photo and pretend they were all their together. Kate is looking so grown up on your last few posts!
ReplyDeleteOh my!
ReplyDeleteYou sure had a lot of stuff to do in a not so great of amount of time.
The kids held up great, so did Daddy Lion.
Thanks for posting.
Dmitry continues to bail out of his crib. We have nowhere around our area to buy a toddler bed and so I may need to drive up to Anchorage. I'm just so worried that he will hurt himself. He even does it when the rail is in the 'up' position. Argh! I'm glad little pumpkin's sleeps are going better. Good for you for not replacing the pacie. That would have jsut been one more sorrow later on, right?! I like your pumpkin patch family picture. Good one for the Christmas letter! ;) Have a super day!
ReplyDeleteLove the pictures. Did you get your hair cut recently, it looks great. I miss our group pumpkin patch adventures.
