Pumpkin Patch!

It's October! Finally time to visit the pumpkin patch. And what a perfect day it was. We headed out to Dollinger's Farm. Afterall, it is free. They have all these little houses and structures that the kids can play and climb in. Like this barn where you can climb a ladder and go down the slide. Evie loved it.

Presley loved it.
Gracie loved it.
And so did our buddy Jackson. Presley was unsure about pretending to be a scarecrow. But Evie and Grandpa owned this castle. The slide going down the castle was pretty fast. My kids didn't mind. Grandpa didn't either. Good thing Auntie Amy was there to catch him. Presley could have spend all day playing in this little blue house and just opening and closing the door. They had animals there too. Evie tried shoving some hay through the fence but the goats didn't even notice. They had a huge pile right in front of them. Then we took a train ride. We rode in the caboose. Presley was saying "choo-choo." Evie really had fun. She was all smiles. So was Gracie. Here are all my animals! Gracie kept telling us we needed to pick pumpkins. So then we headed off to do that. Gracie wanted the big ones but they were a little pricey. But Presley and Gracie tried picking them up anyways. Gracie kept bringing some over to load in the wagon. Monkey see. Monkey do. Don't worry. We didn't buy all these. I did want to try to get one good family shot with the pumpkins but you can see how well that turned out. Since that was unsuccessful, we headed to have some lunch and pretend to drive some tractors.
It was a great day down on the farm.

My Tap Dancer!

Gracie has been having fun at tap dance! She is trying to keep up and learning a lot. She is in class with her BFF from school, Ava! You might remember that Gracie was also in school with her last year, played soccer with her over the summer as well as danced hip hop with her too. All by coincedance! They have become good friends and even just had their very first playdate at Ava's house! It went well and Gracie is already talking about the next one! Their dance teacher, Miss Taylor, actually had to seperate them in dance class because they were chatty and giggly. I wish they could be by each other. It's not school afterall. Plus they are the youngest because the class is for 4-6 year olds but oh well......they have fun and that's all that matters!

Zoo!

This weekend my whole family of five got to spend some quality time together. No one was sick and there were few meltdowns. We went to the zoo. The weather was great. It wasn't too crowded. It was fun.

Tap Dance!

Guess who started tap dance today?

Yep, it's Gracie! Every Monday she will be learning how to tap dance. Her teacher's name is Miss Taylor and even her friend from school is in there too....Ava!

She had a lot of fun!
Evie wished she could take dance. Pretty soon she will be able too. Since she'll be 2 soon, she will be able to take a mommy and me ballet class but I don't think I would be any good at that. Bub likes dancing too but he is a few years away from enrolling in dance class. Although they offer a boys hip hop class..... Check out Gracie's first day of tap!
