The Pumpkin Patch

On Thursday Grant went on his first school field trip to the Chesterfield Berry Farm. Thanks to Gramma babysitting the younger three boys, I was able to be a chaperone. We had a fun day at the pumpkin patch going on a hayride, seeing several different kinds of farm animals, picnicking, and of course, picking out a pumpkin. I enjoyed the trip just as much as Grant did.

Fun With the Boys

Yesterday was an early release day of school. It was also an absolutely gorgeous fall day. So after picking Grant up from school the boys and I headed to the park. We enjoyed a picnic lunch (which consisted of corndogs and fries from Sonic), playing on the slide, and walking around the lake. As a mom of young boys it seems I spend a lot of time caring for and correcting but this was one of those times where I was able to just enjoy my children. It was a fun afternoon.
