Mitchell Farms Pumpkin Patch

Last weekend we drove to Collins to check out Mitchell Farms.

We took my mother with us, and I'm so sad that I didn't get a picture of her

with my kids. So mad!

We had a great time, even though it was 48 degrees!

That's cold in the south, and we were not really dressed appropriately.

Thank goodness they had hot chocolate!

 

We started out with a wagon ride aroud the farm, then fed the goats.

After we fed the goats, Layla picked out her pumpkin, Lance and the kids rode down their

big rubber slide, we walked through the little petting zoon, kids played in a big barrel of corn, and played at their park area, and I think by then we were all frozen!

Miss 3 is too smart for her britches.

I decided to do preschool with her for her first year and put her in next year,

and I have to tell you, I've really enjoyed doing it with her.

 

Now, there are days when my patience isn't as great as others, but it's

 such a satisfying feeling, when she rememebers the things I've taught her.

(even when I feel like preschool was a waste on certain days)

 

It's really easy to get frustrated when she doesn't write a letter

just like I do, and I have to continue telling myself that,

"She is only 3! She's doing awesome!"

 

Anyway, I thought I better document this.

We started around the 1st of Septemeber, and she was writing her name that same week.

She seriously soaks it all in like a sponge.

And now writes her name on everything!

 

love these little boogers

It's nearly impossible to get a picture of these two together.

The only way I could get Marx to cooperate is to turn on Toy Story.

I'm going to have to be creative when it comes to taking their pictures

for our Christmas cards.
