Pumpkin Patch

The Mr. took Thing 1 to the Pumpkin Patch with his class a couple weeks ago. The Mr. and I split up the field trips. I go to the zoo in the spring and he goes to the Pumpkin Patch in the fall. I asked him to take pictures of this event as I have never been. They seemed to enjoy themselves and Thing 1 spent the majority of his time with his girlfriend.

Where to? Better check the map!

To the petting zoo! Let's feed some goats!

There were many little houses and other equipment to play on that was modeled after different fairy tales.

Now, down the slide!

Next, the hayride to the pumpkin patch!

Here's the pumpkin Thing 1 wanted to choose:

Luckily, The Mr. made him choose a different pumpkin. Here's the one we ended up with:

Thing 1 and his girl at the Pumpkin Patch!

New Jobs

At daycare, the children are given jobs for the day. Thing 1 often comes home discussing what job he had or one of his friends had. The typical jobs are line leader, door holder, teacher's helper, or light person. Yesterday, during our travels, Thing 1 was handing out jobs to all of us.

Thing 1: "I'll be the line leader, Thing 2 can be the lights person, Daddy can be the car washer, and Mommy, you can be the housecleaner."

I feel I got the raw end of the deal during this handout of responsibilities. Luckily, Thing 1 said that we switch jobs every so often. Hopefully I won't be the housecleaner for long and I can get a job like door holder or TV watcher!

A Morning in the Park

This morning we decided to take the boys to the park. They were both rather rambunctious running around the living room and destroying things. Because of this, we thought we should take them outside to burn off some energy.

I forget sometimes how brave my youngest is but then I remember once I allow him to play at the playground. He has no fear and will just try walking right off of the equipment or try to climb things that he just isn't tall enough to climb. Once he's a few inches taller, I will really be in trouble. If I can't find him, I'm sure he'll be in a tree somewhere!
