More Pumpkins!!

Pumpkins!

The girls and I went to a little pumpkin patch today to try and take a few pictures. They had a pony ride, a maze made of hay, a bouncy slide, and a petting zoo. I was really proud of Hannah because she hasn't always been a huge fan of riding ponies or bouncy things. Today was a different story! She loved it and didn't want to stop!

This is what you get when you try to take a picture of both children. Lovely huh?

Sweet Lauren!

Checking out the animals through the fence. Both girls loved the animals.

Hannah riding the pony! She hopped right on!

The maze made of hay!

Soccer

We thought it would be fun for Hannah to try soccer this fall. So we signed her up for Rookie soccer at the YMCA. She has been looking forward to playing since we started talking about it. She is the only girl on the team, but she doesn't seem to mind! The morning started off well. She practiced kicking the ball into the goal and was ready to start. When the ref blew the whistle she and another kid just stood there. Everyone on the other team and the ringer on her team ran to the ball. But not Hannah, she just watched. HILARIOUS! I couldn't stop laughing. It got a little better as the game went on, but then she was tired and didn't want to play anymore. I don't think the team missed her contribution once she decided to stay on the sidelines. Even Uncle J and April couldn't convince her to come back into the game! Oh well, maybe next week will be better!

The snack and drinks were the best part!

You did a great job sweet girl! There is a first for everything!

Learning Fun!

I told Hannah that we could pratice writing her letters using shaving cream when Lauren went down for her morning nap. There was no way that she was going to let me forget this one! She did a wonderful job following directions and forming her letters. She's a sneaky little thing and doesn't always share what she can do! I am learning that she actually knows how to form a lot of her letters already. Great job Hannah!

We used a tray to keep the shaving cream contained.

We finished the day with gluing some "c" pictures from a magazine into her letter book.

Enjoying the weather!

Veggie Tales!

Hannah and I enjoyed a fun little Veggie Tales Live show last night at Prestonwood Baptist Church! We met Kaden and Angie for some yummy dinner and then watched a great show together. Hannah really enjoyed it once she was willing to take her fingers out of her ears. She seems to be really sensitive to loud noises and insists of plugging her ears. We are hoping this goes away soon! After a while she loved hearing the songs and dancing along. I enjoyed my date night with you Hannah Banana!

I hope the church has a bunch of extra notepads and little pencils. I am pretty sure that every kid there used one!

We seem to have a problem...

getting our laundry room door stuck. Our washing machine moves sometimes when it has a lot of stuff and then the door won't open! Here is Dustin working hard to push the washing machine back with the rake. He is so handy!

If you want a 3 year old to...

to write the letter A, then you might need to include some bribery. You know, like a sucker. So then when she FINALLY does it, you give her one. And chances are, when you give her a sucker...

then you have to give one to her sister too! I know...not the best parenting technique, but too late!

My two SWEET girlies!

First Day of School

Hannah just finished up her first week back at school! She is at the same school, just on the preschool side! On Tuesday, she was THRILLED to be going back to school. She loves her new teachers and her new classroom. We are so excited to see what this year brings! Good luck Hannah Grace!

This was my attempt at getting a picture before we went in. It was pouring down rain and there were so many other people that were more exciting to watch!

Sitting at her space and playing with a brand new can of playdough! Bye mom!

Such a sweet girl!
