Field Trip

Nick had his first field trip of the year. They went to Downtown Portland and went on a tour of the history of Portland. He was so excited that his Dad got to go on the field trip with his class. So far he is really enjoying the 3rd grade and it looks like they are going to be going on alot of field trips this year.

Spending time with Dad.

Scott's 120 days at Home Depot are up now and so we have him home more. I think that someone is happy to be spending more time with his Dad.

Pumpkin Patch

Last weekend we went to our 1st pumpkin patch of the year. It was suppose to rain in the afternoon and so we went in the morning. Last year we ran out of time and didn’t make it to this pumpkin patch and I am glad we got a chance to go this year. They had so many activities for the kids to do. We didn’t have time to do everything because it started to rain and Allie was getting tired. We did get to do a hay ride, jump in the bouncy houses, pet the animals, ride the bug train, watch a car get smashed by a pumpkin, eat apple donuts and go on a zip line swing. Allie’s favorite thing was the bug train and Nick’s favorite thing was the zip line swing.

Happy Birthday Kayla!

Last weekend Nick and Allie were invited to a birthday party at Chuck E Cheese. We had not been to Chuck E Cheese in a couple of years. Nick and Allie had been wanting to go all summer and we just didn’t make it and so they were very excited about celebrating Kayla birthday. They both had a really good time and Allie would like to have her birthday there also. We will have to wait and see. Thank you for inviting us to your 3rd Birthday Kayla we had a great time.

Library

One thing that I love about fall is going to the library. It is such a cozy place especially when the weather is cold outside. I also love story time at the library in the fall. When we went last week we made leaf necklaces and I am looking forward to making spider hats in a couple of weeks. This is the last year we are going to be able to go to story time and I am going to miss it. I have been going for the last 7 years not every week and we have had periods of times when we haven’t gone for a few months for one reason or another. The kids and I have always had a good time at the library and I hope that both of them will remember these times and always have a love for reading.

Another fun thing that we do a lot more of in the fall our crafts. I have a big box of fall and Halloween crafts set out and Nick and Allie will periodically go to it and find some sort of craft they want to do. Last week it was the pumpkin faces. I still need to take down there summer decorations and put up some fall ones maybe this weekend we can work on it.

Best Soccer Game

Welcome to October and what a crazy month it is going to be. It is one of my favorite months but it just is packed of fun activities none of which I want to give up. Nick had a soccer game yesterday. I hadn’t taken many pictures of him before or at his soccer games and so I tried to take a few before and during the game. It is really hard to get good pictures of him during the game I can get good pictures of other peoples kids just not my own. He is enjoying soccer a lot this year but is the youngest on the team. He is really good at passing the ball but had not made a goal all year in fact I don’t know if he has ever made a goal. I knew it wasn’t because he couldn’t do it he would get the ball to where it needed to be and then let someone else shoot the goal. I bribed him with some money yesterday if he made a goal. He did it in fact he almost made two goals. I was so proud of him. I think he had his best soccer game ever. The team they were playing was good too and it ended up being a tied game.
