sMiLE!

This kid sure can SMILE . . . (don't mind the food in his mouth :)

Field Trip

Griffin went on his first field trip of the year to Black Island Farms. It is a farm where they grow and sell veggies and have a huge corn maze and haunted house. He had so much fun and is still talking about it (a week later!) They first got to see a pig race. Then they went on a tractor/trailer ride through the farm and learned all about the crops. They each got to pick a pumpkin and then they had free time to run around and play on all the slides and bounce toys. Griff was a little shy at first but by the end he was running all around and enjoying his rare one on one time with mom :)

Mud . . . a little boys heaven!

Last week my sister Julie and her kids came over to visit. While the little ones were asleep we sent Mason and Ty outside to play. It was pretty quite for awhile and then I heard a loud noise so I went out to see what they were up to. They had turned on the water and created a huge muddy mess on the patio. Then they decided to throw mud balls at the house (that was the noise I heard) They were covered from head to toe in mud and there was really no other options than to strip them down to their underwear and spray them off with the hose. They had a great time and even though I wasn't happy about the mud, it was hard not to laugh at the mud covered boys!

Preschool!

Griffin started preschool on wednesday. This was a little rough at first but he ended up loving it and wanting to go back. He has been excited all summer to start preschool with his teacher "Mrs. Gween". But when I brought him, he got nervous and didn't want me to leave. I ended up leaving him laying on the floor screaming . . . I think it was a performance he put on especially for me! When I came to pick him up, his teacher said he cried for less than 30 seconds and then was just fine . . . (I'm glad HE was fine because I was worried the entire time :) I'm just glad he wants to go back and he has reassured me that he won't be crying next time!
