Okay, I'm back...

This is a picture of Hallie and Sadie at a pumpkin farm near our home in Enumclaw. This was a field trip for Hallie and her preschool...they let Sadie and I tag along:) We had a lot of fun on the hay ride, feeding the pigs, chasing the chickens, and running from the goats. The goats really liked jumpin up on Sadie in the stroller...not so fun for mom!
This picture was taken at a different pumpkin farm in Enumclaw. At this farm they had a huge section just for kids...including a 'corn box'. Camryn and Calvin really enjoyed this area. Brian got an action shot of them jumping into the box. We also enjoyed: roping a cow, water games, a corn maze, mini bike races, animals to pet, and a hay ride....among other attractions.

It really does take a lot for me to get on the computer and actually get something done! As we speak, Brian is trying to help Camryn with homework as he eats his dinner, while Calvin also gives instruction, Hallie tries to distract her, and Sadie...well she's probably chewing on a book! I'm sure that the room is falling apart as well! Anyway, I thought that I would relay a cute comment from Hallie yesterday. We went to get an oil change on the suburban and she found the crayons and coloring books right away. (yes, they have those :) I love that place) She was coloring away while I was trying to keep Sadie off the floor. I noticed that she was coloring the eyes of the character's face (don't know who it was exactly) yellow...so I said: "wow Hallie! you decided to color the eyes yellow...interesting". And she responded: "yes. I am very creative." hah, haha. i couldn't restrain myself from laughing out loud. I guess maybe it was only funny to me...you have to know her delivery. anyway...

we went to the doctor today for Sadie's one-year check-up. she's right on track. I didn't expect anything different. We were all so happy to get her car seat turned around! I think even she was happy!
until next time...play...run...engage in magical fun...be present...be aware...imagine yourself anywhere!
