My Little Pumpkins!

This morning we took an outing to the pumpkin patch. We normally get there earlier in the season but for some reason this year we were running behind. I think it was all those October birthday parties! Unfortunately we had to take this pilgrimage alone since Dad is out of town for work. It was a little bit of a logistical nightmare. How do you manage 4 kids and all the pumpkins? Well, a baby b'jorn, a wagon, and a good friend are how we did it. We were lucky enough to have my good friend and her two kids with us so everything went smoothly. Aside from the chilling winds and damp air, we had a great time. C was happy that she could run around and fortunately she was not scared of pumpkins this year. And little W was a trooper and seemed to think the pumpkins were just dandy! Afterwards we all warmed up by heading to Noodles. Yum!

Happy Birthday!

Today we celebrated another birthday in our family. Little A turned 9! We had a fun party with some friends at a local laser tag spot. The boys had so much fun shooting it up - apparently they are all natural born killers! A was thrilled to have fun with friends. Nana and Gipa came up for the day too so that was a treat. He loved opening presents too of course. I think the favorite was the new skateboard, followed closely by the book "Diary of a Wimpy Kid." Of course a book mom has been avoiding but he was THRILLED to get! Enjoy the pictures.

Happy, Happy Birthday!

Yesterday was little C's 2nd birthday! What fun. She was supposed to have a little party with her some friends in the morning but unfortunately big brother has been home sick so we had to postpone the party. But, we still celebrated as a family last night.

Her favorites these days include Elmo and anything Sesame Street so I made an Elmo cake for her. She loved Elmo but was not sure about the fact that he was a cake. It took a little while for her to understand that we were going to eat that Elmo!

She had a fun time opening her presents as well. She got a new scooter from her grandparents - she was thrilled. Now she can be a big kid just like her siblings. We got her a zebra bouncer which seems to be a big hit too. It was a very fun birthday!
