Down By The Punkin' Patch

There hasn't been a whole lot to write about lately. A whole lot of normal, which has been nice! The weather lately is cooling down some, but we are still having a lot of 80 degree days, but cooler 40's nights. I love it when we get the occasional 60 degree day and I hope there are some in the near future. That is pure fall weather to me. The boys and I play a game in the car every morning of spying leaves that are changing. There is a lot of "there's some orange ones!", "there's some yellow", and "look! there's red!!". Red we have decided is the ultimate leaf color, so it's extra special when someone spots it.

Both boys are having really good school years. We just had a parent teacher conference with Trevor's teacher yesterday and he got a very good report. Fourth grade has been a breath of fresh air to all of us and it is so good to see him do well. He came home today with a 101 on a spelling test!! Bradley is doing well in preschool also, they are learning some sign language and Spanish and it is so neat to watch him show us the signs for colors and hear him say the Spanish names.

Today I went on a field trip with Bradley's school to the local pumpkin patch here. It as a lot of fun and a trip I always look forward too. Trevor has been 2-3 times and Bradley went last year too, so it is a familiar place. Here he is getting on the trailor for the hay ride!

His friend Ryan was our buddy for the day, they were so cute together walking thru the pumpkin patch looking for that just right pumpkin.

Then Bradley found the one he wanted!

After finding our pumpkins, we rode over to a hay bale maze. Bradley loved this thing and kept going and going and going back in it to find different routes. 

After the maze, we got to visit some farm animals they have there. Bradley and Ryan were going all over the place at this point, so I didn't get many pictures. But I had to get one of these cute pigs!

They were the cutest pigs I have ever seen. When we were first married, I wanted a pet pig, but then I learned that their upkeep wasn't very fun and they don't smell very good, so I gave that dream up.

After the animals, they decided to take class pictures. This was almost hysterical. It was impossible to get all of the kids to look at the same time, and there were at least 3-4 of them crying at this point.

This was the best shot I got with my camera. This next one cracks me up, because apparently something happened on their right side that made all of them look that way. Except for my little ham. He was going to make sure his mommy got a good picture.

We had a fun time together, I enjoyed spending the morning with my little pumpkin!
