Trunk or treat in Winghaven

My sweet little sunflower, Kaylee



Trick or treating



Poor little butterfly. Her antennae kept blowing around in the strong winds.


This pic gives new meaning to the phrase, "I'll eat my hat." Kaylee is busy chewing on her hat and waving to the crowds.


Bye bye!

The businesses in Winghaven all got together for a little trick or treating fun for the kids. So I hurried to finish sewing the kids costumes and packed everyone in the car. Each business had a little booth out of the trunk of their car that gave the kids candy and the parents information on the company.

We saw a few of our favorite places. Our pediatrician's office was there. We saw our dentist and Sophia's dancing school along with many other local businesses. Each booth had some kind of little game or face painting or bounce house for the kids. It was a really fun free afternoon.

Pumpkin patch craft

This craft kept my girls busy for a while. Although it took some cutting and preparation on my part, I think it was worth it for the fun it was for girls to make it.



Here is the finished pumpkin patch Sophia made. Kaylee supervised the whole thing from the side.

Eckert's Apple Orchard

We decided to enjoy the beautiful weather and took our girls to Eckert's apple orchard. We started off with a ride on the big tractor pulled wagon down to the apple trees.

We hopped off the wagon and entered the apple orchard with much excitement. I could see the sparkle of anticipation in my three year old's eye as we stepped into a beautiful wonderland of sweet little apple trees.

We picked about ten pounds of fuji apples. We heaved those heavy bags of marvelous red apples back up into the wagon to continue on our journey.

Next stop was the pumpkin patch. This year's pumpkins just aren't very good. This is the second pumpkin patch we checked out this year and the pumpkins leave a little to be desired. We couldn't find a single pumpkin to bring home. Looks like I will be buying some pumpkins at the grocery store. We hopped back in the wagon and the farmer took us back to where all the other attractions were on the farm. Sophia is playing up in this fort pictured below.







A little game of peek- a - boo took place here where Sophia peeked at her sister and I from around this little building.

Math Lesson as told by my three year old girl during breakfast.

"Mommy, there are three birds in the tree.  See one, two, three.  One flew away.  Look, there are one, two birds sitting in the tree.  Uh oh, two birds flew away.

I asked, "Now how many birds are there?"

Sophia says, " Mommy, there are no birds."

I said "No birds equal zero birds, right?"

A few seconds later she says, "One, two, three birds came back."

And there you have it a real world math lesson in birds.
