Leaf Hike

Today we headed for a leaf hunt and hike. I found a fun scavenger hunt online and we headed off in search of all the fall things we could find. The day was perfect and the friends were so much fun!

Madeline with Simon (also known as honey). Little Griffin was hanging out on the log too!

Should I be worried? At least little brother is following along to supervise. (How cute is he in the bear jacket?)

Then we came home and read the book Leaf Man and made our own. Madeline named her leaf Man Gary. Simon named his Leafy.

What a fun fall day!

Last Soccer game!

Madeline played her heart out at the last soccer game. The day was beautiful and the rain held off!  What a fun season. Maybe next season she will score a goal.

Will was very happy with the juice box.

Pumpkin Patch

What a beautiful day for a pumpkin field trip. Our MOPS group headed to the most fabulous pumpkin patch. Braeutigam Orchards! It was perfect for preschoolers. It had animals to feed and pet, places to dig, and lots of pretend activities like farming and grocery store. There was also climbing. Who doesn’t love to climb on a big hay bale?

Stinky Chicken!

Madeline called this one Pirate face.

Good looking MOPS group!

Thank you Lord for the vines that slowed his running down!

Madeline and Michael from Sunday School. They were fast runners.

Big sister had to “help” little brother find the tractor and the wagon. It sure helps when he wants to hold her hand.

Then we tried to take some pictures at home. CRAZY!

This one is my favorite. It sums up the picture taken experience!

Happy Fall!

Can you believe my baby is turning 2? I'm starting to work on his brithday!!!

What a busy Saturday

We had a crazy fall Saturday. It began with Nick and I having to wake up the kids to get ready for soccer. Of course they slept until 8:30 on the day we have to go somewhere by 9:00.

It was a very BRISKY morning (50 degrees at game time). We have learned the key to keeping Will happy for the game is to wait to feed him breakfast. That keeps him busy most of the game.

Nick got so cold he grabbed Will to warm him up.  Will loves his new cheese face. He makes it anytime a camera comes out. Even Madeline’s play camera.

Then Madeline and I raced off to Rebekah’s 5th birthday party at Eckert’s. It was a fabulous cooking class. They made pizza, apple dippers, smoothie, and decorated cupcakes. Her mom had made the cutest aprons for each little girl.

Rebekah, Maddie Grace, and Lexi. These three have been in Sunday School together forever and MOPS.

Don’t forget Molly! Her parents now teach the college class so she doesn’t still come to the same Sunday School hour.

After heading home to check on the boys, feed mommy, and put Will down for nap we hurried to party number 2. This time we went to paint pottery. We had a heck of a time trying to decide what to paint. Finally a cupcake plate won.

Rebekah, Maddie Grace and Lexi the birthday girl.

The whole crew. It was very wise to have a painting party not at your own house.

We then headed home and put on our pajamas and watched the ou game and ordered pizza. It was a nice victory and now Nick is rooting on his buckeyes. I’m exhausted and tomorrow includes teaching Sunday School and another birthday party.
