Fall Days

The weather here has been Fabulous lately!! All field trips for children have been rain free and not real cold either....soccer games have been rain free, soccer practice has been pleasant, it's been a pretty amazing October. Busy too....hence the lack of posts. But here are recent events in pictures:

We had one weekend that was soccer-free so amongst the other things we wanted to get done, we figured a quick trip to the pumpkin patch was in order. Again, it was a gorgeous day and warm and the kids got fresh donuts too!Both boys had field trips to the Apple Festival but I only went with Mason's class. Unfortunately, I didn't take any pictures while the kids were sampling apples/pears as I was too busy making sure Mason wasn't "double dipping"! Of course, after watching preschoolers sampling apples, I was questioning if I would ever touch a public sample again! ;) It still is a very cool festival, the hay displays were very cute (check out Oscar below!) and the kids enjoy the puppet show by Penny.



And then there was Mason's field trip to the Pumpkin Patch at Sauvie Island Farms. It went really great and talk about amazing weather. If it hadn't been for the fact that I needed to hang some art work at Matthew's school (and actually pick Matthew up from school!) we could have stayed all day! The day was fabulous, Mason wore shorts(!), and the kids had a great time.

The kids got a barn tour and Mason spent part of his time hanging out with on particular girl in his class. Those two are a hoot to watch!! ;) The little girl in the red sweater above was very entertained by the heifer that was sure that here hand was pacifier! That baby cow would have sucked on her hand and arm all morning. The funny part, later this same girl went to pet the pig and the pig wasn't so thrilled with her hand and actually nipped her! She promptly decided she wasn't fond of the pig and went back to petting the baby cow.

Mason and his friend again....who knew I was going to have to start chaperoning?? They hung out together for awhile in the hay maze!
