Farm Visits

By
We have had TWO farm visits this week.  On Thursday, I got to accompany Leah on her very first school field trip.  Her preschool class visited a local farm where we ate lunch, had a hay ride out to a corn maze, found the pumpkin patch, picked pumpkins, and then played on a park and visited animals at the petting zoo.  It was very fun, and we had a beautiful day for it.  Today I took the kids to another farm nearby that has a lot of fun things for kids to do in the fall.  There were tons of activities to do in addition to picking pumpkins for our family carving night.  Wyatt fell in LOVE with the pony there ("woof-woof," he kept saying!), and also really enjoyed playing in a big play area filled with corn!  Leah had a blast jumping on this giant bouncer, going down big slides, and hanging out with her friends.  Now, they are both sleeping soundly by 7:30pm.  Woo-hoo!

Close Encounters of the Pregnant Kind

By
I have found that something about a pregnant lady makes people say things that they wouldn't normally say. And, then of course, there is also a sudden decrease in personal space awareness. I am almost not surprised anymore when a stranger puts her hand on my belly for a prolonged amount of time in a public restroom while she tells me horror stories about delivering the 15 th of her 17 children. Here are a few of my favorite encounters: 1. An elderly man came over to me at the grocery store in the produce section looking very stern and asked me if I was trying to steal a watermelon. (He then broke into a semi-toothless grin.) 2. A kindergartner came running up to me while I was on recess duty, put her hand on my tummy and said, "Mrs. Dainty! I just saw your belly MOVING! Is that your baby? Is she having recess, too?" 3. Lucy (our dog) gave me several annoyed glances as she tried to snuggle up to me while we were watching TV and kept getting nudged in the face by t...

Snow and Sesame Street

By
We woke up to sooooo much snow! The kind where you can't get the back door open and you have to shovel your way to the garage to get to the snowblower. Leah and Lucy were both pretty amazed - the snow is deep enough to swallow them both up! We played in the snow while Ryan, bless his heart, began excavating our house. Leah helped shovel us out for a while. What a trooper! Another recent fun event was going to see "Sesame Street Live" on New Year's Eve. We saw Elmo, Grover, the Count, and all of Leah's favorites. The music was pretty awesome - my favorite was a medley of "I love trash" and "We're moving trash," which is a song about decomposition sung by an R&B Beetle. Very fun - Leah was mesmerized.
