A busy week with a Field Trip, Sick Kiddo, Daddy Away, and the Apple Festival

Mommy, Daddy, and the kiddos have so much to be thankful for and we try to make the most of everyday!  Daddy was gone for another trip and Mommy and the kiddos survived :)  A HUGE thanks to Neighbors Dave and Jo for helping Mommy with the flat tire on Monday night!

On Tuesday, the Kindergarten classes went to Beak & Skiff for their fall field trip and Mommy was able to join :)  Addie is in the middle row on the far right.




The section of orchard that the little ones picked apples from was the FIRST pick ever for these three year old trees.  The tree were at the perfect height for the kiddos! Mommy grew up with apple trees in her yard and the kiddos also have experienced apples in our yard and it was sort of surreal to see every apple on the tree be beautiful, red, spot free, and with no bug holes...

Getting SO big!


Playtime before lunch


On Tuesday, Ayson was not feeling well (just rundown) and ended up staying home on Wednesday.  It was a gorgeous day outside but Ayson spent the day inside, with his hood up, reading, doing homework, and drawing :)




Addie wanted Mommy to send the below picture to her teacher, Mrs Long :)

On Saturday morning, Addie woke Mommy and Daddy up with the news that she (finally) lost her first tooth!!!!


TaDa!


Saturday and Sunday was the Apple Festival and we had Ayson's friend, Caleb, join us for the day.
No really, Addie had a GREAT time on Peaches, the Apple Festival Pony :)

The kiddos wanted a picture on the wagon.


Too cool!


After Ayson and Daddy got home from their away football game, the kids posed for a picture before heading off to the amusement rides!  Mommy STILL takes a photo of what the kiddos are wearing before we head out to any big activity where they could possibly get separated and lost.

Hi Addie.  Mommy thinks we rode the Merry Go Round 5 times :)  :)


Weeee!!!!


Ayson LOVED the slide but Caleb had a look of fright!  (but Caleb said he loved the slide :)


Surprise, Addie and Mommy on the Merry Go Round!




Big smiles


Sunset on Saturday night






Grandma came out Saturday night so she could attend the Apple Festival on Sunday.  We enjoyed an apple pancake breakfast Sunday morning (minus the apples for the kiddos) and then Grandma shopped her heart out with Aunt Becky on Sunday :)


Homework
Addie worked SO hard last week!  She earned 2 purples for the week!  Outstanding job, Adduie!!
