PARTY TIME!!!

Wednesday Miller's Preschool class celebrated Halloween with a day full of activities. Miller was a little reluctant to wear his costume but soon got used to it and did not want to take it off. I think he makes the cutest lion ever!!

The hood did not stay on long, but I still think he is just TOO CUTE!!

Ashley, Elisabeth's mom and I were in charge of the extra activities for the day.
We began the festivities with 2 cute crafts...

And a Bean Bag toss game...

After lots of fun with the bean bag game we read them 3 Fall books and then it was time for LUNCH!
One of their favorite times of the day.

After a quick bite of Chick-Fil-A it was time for a Pumpkin Hunt. We hid some baby pumpkins on the playground and the little one's hunted for them. It was a big hit. I was unsure if they would understand what was going on, Miller did not understand what a Easter Egg Hunt was last Spring so I was sure he would not know what to do. To my surprise all the kids ran after the pumpkins as soon as we opened the gate!!

I love this age, so innocent, the kids were proudly putting pumpkins in each others buckets. Miller really has a great class with great teachers!!
After LOTS of fun outside hunting for pumpkins we headed inside to end the day with Cupcakes. I think the pictures speak for themselves...YUMMY!!

We left with a bucket of goodies including this cute frame...

Punkin Patch

Wednesday morning Aunt Addie, Luke, and I took Miller on his first field trip to Lyon's Pumpkin Patch. We had a blast!!

We began with a tractor ride to the pumpkin patch.

At first, Miller was a little overwhelmed by all the pumpkins....do you blame him?!?!

Then he found the perfect one...

Punkin Pickin is hard work, time for a break!!

Photobucket

After we found the perfect Pumpkins, we loaded up and headed back to the main farm for the corn maze.
We had a GREAT time even though we got SUPER LOST!!!! I am SO glad we grabbed this wagon. Miller just chilled out the whole ride.... he would not have lasted very long walking!!

After the corn maze Miller and Luke had fun playing in the covered corn kernel box....like a sand box but full of corn kernels. They had a blast!!

After a quick bounce in the large pumpkin bounce house with Aunt Addie...

Miller helped Daddy push our wagon to the petting zoo...

Photobucket

Miller LOVED the animals!! His favorite part was feeding the Sheep. He fed him about 20 times before we had to bribe him to leave. After visiting the pets inside we visited with a couple outside. They were not as willing to be fed or petted but Miller enjoyed seeing them all.

After petting and feeding all the animals we headed inside to learn where pumpkins come from during story time.

Then it was time for Lunch and Free play!!! We met up with Miller's classmate and best friend, Elisabeth and her Mother Ashley. The kids (and Aunt Addie) had a blast on the Inflatables...

Photobucket

Then it was time for the BIG SLIDE!! Check it out (even Aunt Addie and Mrs. Ashley had fun, but they may never be the same!!)...

Photobucket

They LOVED the big slide so much that we took them over to a similar slide that was smaller so they could go down by themselves...

Photobucket

Then we showed Elisabeth how to play in the Corn Kernel Box....

Photobucket

Lastly, we played on a little hay mound that had a slide, a place for the little one's to jump, and a tube for them to crawl through...

Is there something on my head?!?!

All in all we had a WONDERFUL day and can't wait to go back next year!!

Fall Fun

It is really starting to look and feel like Fall. Today it was in the low 50's all day and it is supposed to be even cooler tomorrow. We took advantage of the crisp day to pull out some of Miller's Fall wardrobe for a quick photo shoot.

Admiring the Wind blowing through the trees so...

Luke let him see what is was like...

Of course we could not go outside without including Kaylee! Miller loves her SO much!!
