Pumpkin Patch 2013

A few days after the school field trip to the Pumpkin Patch, we went to another pumpkin patch with all the kids.  This was Brooks' first trip to the patch since he was born in November last year.  The kids, as usual, loved it and they looked so cute in their matching outfits that I made.  Check out some past October posts about the Pumpkin Patch to really see how much they have all changed.  Also, since I took a blogging hiatus last year, check out the bottom of the post for a 2012 patch picture.

Toothless

Jack lost his first tooth on Tuesday night!  It became loose Sunday morning and he was pretty excited.  He has been asking when he would lose his first tooth.  I noticed it was pretty mobile, so after a few attempts, I managed to pull it out.  He put it under his pillow and got a $1 from the daddy-fairy.  We don't do the tooth fairy, and he knew that, but it was still fun to put it under his pillow.  We then had to show everyone at school and let our family know.  Our baby is growing up!

Pumpkin Patch Field Trip

Jack's first official field trip was to the pumpkin patch.  K4 and K5 went, so the triplets also came.  It was a little chilly, but we had fun and the kids loved playing around with the pumpkins.  Jack's favorite part was building a pumpkin fort.  I am so thankful that I get to go on field trips with my kids.  They love it when I am there and it is really special to share in these fun times.

Fall 2013 Has Arrived

Well, it still may be 85 degrees and we may have a hurricane this weekend, but fall is here.  We've had some less frizzy hair days with lower humidity and some comfortable temperatures.  With this fall came soccer for Jack.  He really seems to enjoy it.  He has practice for 1 hour a week and then a game on Saturday morning at 8:30.  The season only lasts 8 weeks, so it isn't too intensive or inconvenient.  He looks forward to practice and the games.

We are making our way through homeschool too.  I like to take Jack to do something once a week for our homeschool days, so since he is studying pumpkins/seeds/fall at school, we went on a pumpkin scavenger hunt at the local pumpkin patch.

While we were there, Jack wanted to get a pumpkin for Kate.  They both have upcoming pumpkin patch field trips, but we got some small ones and I let them paint them.  Kate, being my little artist, sure liked painting her pumpkin.
