Things are really still very busy around here! Carter and I went on his first field trip of the year. We went to the Memorial Opera house and the museum here in town. The kids were so cute, asking the funniest questions and looking at all the exhibits. Carter was very excited to have me there, and wants to know when I will be back, so cute. I will be back, in fact, I'll be VERY busy volunteering at the school twice a month for each child (with the exception of Cooper, they don't do parents in toddler for obvious reasons!) I also have the pleasure of working the Halloween party for the girls and being the unofficial photographer for events at the school! So, the kids are all very excited to see me at the school, and are getting used to seeing me coming and going (which can sort of be confusing for Cooper, but the big kids seem to handle it just fine!!!)
We also made our annual trek to the pumpkin patch, which is always a treat...ya just never know with the weather around here though what you are going to get! Last year, the same weekend it was 92, yesterday it was in the 40's and muddy! The kids didn't care though and we took the hayride out to the field and came home with 6 nice pumpkins. Finley managed to stay quiet and warm with one of the grandmothers who kept and eye on her, of course she didn't make a peep! We then headed to Bar Louie, aka one of "Daddy's Restaurants" for some great food and fun with friends. The kids are so independent now, it's actually not a big deal anymore to take them out (granted we are in our own restaurant where the staff are bending over backwards for them) It's still WAY better than it used to be going just about everywhere, Finley is so good, you hardly know she's there! Cooper is completely 100% potty trained, even to the point you really don't have to ask her anymore, which is nice.
Here are some pics!!!
