Miss Em and the Pumpkin Patch

Emmi and Miss Sandy (her Pre-K teacher from last year).


Playing with older siblings!

The hay maze...


We took a boat ride to get to the fields of pumpkins... we encountered a dragon,

pirates,

and a shark!


The boat.

Emmi was lucky enough to get to go to the pumpkin patch with my preschool class. We happened to go on a day that she doesn't have school!

She loved being one of the oldest (there were a couple of siblings along with us).

She made her own name tag... "everyone must know my name!"

It was fun to get to be with just Emmi on an outing. She is getting so big and mature... until she doesn't get her way. Funny, eh. She wanted a huge pumpkin, but we were allowed to take a "soccer ball" sized pumpkin. I finally talked her into picking out a small pumpkin for me and promised her that we will get her a big pumpkin with her brothers.

Now, I need to fit in another trip to another pumpkin patch :)

My Kitty

My friend, took this picture of Emmi during her Noah's Ark Party at preschool. Since I cannot attend any of Emmi's parties, I am very grateful for her thoughtfulness. How cute and sassy is my kitty?!?!?!??!

Can we get our costumes yet?

This is all I've heard for the last week... Can we get our costumes yet? The kids are excited for Halloween. The boys have outgrown all of the costumes in the bin and are ready to shop for something new. Should be a fun weekend for shopping for costumes... hopefully, they will keep it simple (of course they will... they have me for a mom). They are also ready to put up our few decorations... we will post pictures when they are up.

Halloween Kids

Wow! What a night :) The excitement was contagious.... Time to trick-or-treat! But first, dinner. Homemade chicken noodle soup, bread and spicy pumpkin muffins for mom and dad. To our surprise, a red car pulled up the driveway. It was Auntie Deena and Auntie Allie with goodies! Auntie Deena had candy from Grandma, candy from she and Raj and homemade cupcakes in a darling Halloween box. What a way to start the excitement. With everyone dressed in many layers Daddy and the kids headed out. I was on dog and door duty. 30 minutes later they all returned hot with a tired Emmi. The boys peeled off layers and headed out again. Emmi was ready to eat candy and watch a kid-show. The boys continued for another hour... they came back with quite a haul. Now they are coming down off the ceiling before going to bed. I'm happy to report that the dogs did great. Molly barked at every knock and door bell (no surprise there), but Jeep just wanted out of the family room. So what does a puppy do, escape. I was worried as I was in the middle of opening the door when I discovered him, but he was fine. No barking, no leaving the house, just curious to what was going on. Another Halloween gone and we look forward to next year (especially, Daddy!).
