Pumpkin Time!

We've been pumpkin patch hopping! The past two weekends we've made it to two different patches! Both so fun with completely different fun-for-all activities! Our first visit was to our favorite local farm, where we make several trips each summer for strawberries, corn, and other yummy local produce (oh yea, and the playground!). We went to this farm during a dry spell in an otherwise very wet weekend, so more than anything we were happy to be outside!

Silly boys!

Trip #2 was to our new favorite pumpkin patch! It's much smaller than farm #1, and it's main attraction is a CRAZY hay ride. And yes, it is CRAZY! The wildest we've ever been on! We went with Grandma & Grandpa M, and I don't think they believed us how wild it was going to be. I'll be nice and not post any mid-ride pictures, but we'll just say we were holding on for dear life! The other fun part is the (encouraged) throwing mini pumpkins at scarecrows. Kai's favorite part BY FAR! This is the patch where we actually bought our pumpkins (which are still waiting to be carved).

Excited to throw pumpkins!

Pre- Hayride

A little boy's heaven!

Definitely a forced pose, but he did it!

Honeybee!!

OK, I'm a few weeks late on this one. Kai moved up to the next class at preschool in mid-September and now he's officially a Honeybee! Here he is on his first day as a Honeybee. This is actually the 4 year old class, but they moved his entire (3 year old) class at the beginning of the school year. He is doing fabulous! It is much more structured and "school like", but he is doing amazing! He is learning pencil control and tracing letters and words and his name. We are so proud of him!!

Spirit Week 2010

This past week was Spirit Week at Kai's preschool. He had lots of fun seeing his friends dressed up in "different" clothes, and talking about what they all choose to wear. He was a good participant, 2 out of his 3 days at school.

Monday: PJ day

In my opinion, total genius! It was great to not have to get him dressed and ready on a Monday! Of course, he since he doesn't wear jammies to bed, he had to wake up and put his PJ's on. At least he could wear something fun, and dressing was not a chore that day!

Wednesday: Wacky Clothes day

I realized the down fall to my practical shopping ways... this little boy does not have many "wacky", or even printed clothes! I had to resort to swim trunks to find wacky pants for him. But, alas, in the end he was not interested and chose this not so wacky outfit. At one point I got him to wear his clothes backwards, but right before we left he turned it all around and this is as wacky as we got.
Thursday: Book character day

Yes, we do have a Batman book!! This was totally his choice and a bit indulgent on my part, but now we have Halloween taken care of, too!
