| A super fun day at the Pumpkin Patch! |
- And again, you would think that I would learn my lesson but Keaton and I were up until almost 2 last night. Even though she woke up again to eat later in the night, Robby did take one for the team and gave Graham (who wet the bed) and Campbell (who did more than just wet the bed) baths pretty early this morning.
- The kids love the barstools and would sit there forever. So eating breakfast is a pretty slow process and maybe because that is the best spot in the house for tv viewing-even though most of our tvs are now hooked up with netflix, hulu and antennaes. Robby took the boys to school and also took Campbell with him so I ran around picking up a bit, Reagan packed for Grannymom's house and then we got to work on our school.
- Reagan was almost finished when Campbell came home. She immediately saw Reagan working and decided that she needed to "color" too. Reagan for some reason doesn't sit in the chairs at the table but sits on her knees to work so Campbell moved the chair to sit on her knees-even though she could hardly see. Campbell was happy as she could be and they both sat there coloring and doing work for a good bit.
- We then worked on laundry and other things before it was time to load up to get the boys. One thing we did do was pull out all of the heavy winter coats because we were going to the pumpkin patch and it was cold outside-though we didn't hardly need our light jackets. I picked up the boys a bit early and they were so excited to head to the patch.
- They asked how far away it was and I told them about 10 miles which made Anderson ask if it was as far as Disneyworld and then he cut the distance a bit and asked if it was closer than Josh and Zach's house (Mississippi). They were pretty pleased when we finally arrived there. Anderson was so ready to go in and couldn't understand why I was making them wait (we were waiting on our group and then we were waiting on our time to go in)
- The first activity was the pig races and a snack (good thing since it was now 12 and we hadn't had lunch-nor had I packed anything). Anderson really thought that the pigs were going to jump over the hurdles (all they did was run under the 2 foot hurdles). Reagan was tickled that the pig she wanted was the one that one and she said that she was the only one screaming for him to win. Graham was a little timid at first but when he saw the pigs were securely locked in their cages, he moved up to the front row. Campbell watched with her wide eyes and finally showed some excitement during the last race.
- Next was the hay ride and Reagan is getting so big-the boys just stick right by my side but Reagan was off sitting with her friends not even worried about if we made it on the ride or not. They so loved the hay ride but the biggest was the cow train ride. The girls rode together and the boys decided by themselves that they would ride together. I did feel it went pretty fast but they seemed to love it.
- Next up was playing on the mound of hay and picking out their pumpkins. Campbell spent most of her time arranging the pumpkins and when I took Graham to the bathroom, Reagan and Anderson picked out the pumpkins that they wanted. As you probably have guessed, we did get all the ones they had placed around my bag (about 15) - we just took our 4.
- I was quite impressed with Motleys and hopefully, we can go there to look at the Christmas trees and take a few pictures. Next up was taking Reagan to Grannymom and Grandpa's house-Reagan was so excited. She has been waiting awhile to spend the night. Campbell was asleep (oh, if you were wondering, Keaton spent the day with Robby who was working from home) in the car so we just all stayed in the car dropping her off.
- When we made it home, Campbell finished her nap in the car, Graham and then Anderson and then Graham again played with playdoh until supper. After supper, Robby was playing a bit in the yard with his leaf sucker-upper (not the official name) and the kids played until they had their lawnmower turn. Robby doesn't cut when they ride but Anderson felt the need to wear his bike helmet tonight "just in case I fall off"
