Tuesday, October 21, 2008

yesterday since Skylar & Nick were out of school for Fall Break so that we could have a day of fall fun. It was such a beautiful, warm fall day. We headed up to Thanksgiving Point to go to the Scarecrow Festival. This was definitely made for the younger crowd so our kids had a great time. They had a kiddie haunted house, kid's games, and a gazillion blow up slide/bounce things.

Admission even included the farm so the kids all got to ride on a pony and we all went on a hay ride too. Afterwards we picked out some pumpkins from their "pumpkin patch" (just a bunch of pumpkins on the grass-not too "patchy"). We then headed to the good 'ol $1 movies to see Wall-E which was a great ending to a fun day!!

Bring on the Binkies!!

Alexis is such a Jordan baby. She wants to always suck on something, just like her older siblings. But mom's not about to go through the thumb sucking thing again, since I'm pretty sure Kade will suck his thumb until he's 13! I was none too happy when I caught her with her cute little thumb sucking away-it was definitely time to call in the binkies!
So we've forced a binky on my sweet little baby. I feel a little mean. Alexis seems a little more flexible than Kade was and will at least take a binky for a bit. She makes the same gagging face that he did and isn't a huge fan of it but I will not give up! She definitely prefers the Soothie brand over the Nuk though. I think the Nuks are much cuter but I guess fashion will just have to suffer if it keeps that thumb out of her mouth!!

Garbage Chicken

Crazy Hat Head (aka Nick) had Joy School today. They're learning about the Earth right now and learned about keeping it clean today. They took a chilly walk to the park to pick up litter. Later at lunch we had this conversation:

Me: I'm having soup for lunch today.
McKade (so concerned): Your tummy hurt?
Me: No, I'm just cold (it’s 40 degrees outside!)
Nick: Are you having chicken noodle?
Me: No, I'm going to have Roasted Garlic Chicken.
Nick: Um, yuck! I just picked up garbage at the park. But your Garbage Chicken does look nummy.

Silly boy always makes me laugh.

It's snow good!

Yesterday it snowed. I hate snow. I hate winter, especially in the fall. It's just not right to have snow on the ground while the trees are still green-except the "stoplight tree" (as my kids call it) at the school. But I do love watching my kids enjoy it. They love snow. It's so much better to be a kid.
