PuMpKiN pAtCh FuN!

The twins had their first field trip in Kindergarten! They were so excited - they finally got to ride the school bus! We went to a really fun pumpkin patch to spend the morning! I was a chaperone for Hadley's class- which was really fun! Cayden's teacher said he could come with my group - but he is my independent kid - and was happy to stay with his "own" class! It was so funny! So- I have lots of pics of Hadley - and only a couple with Cayden! Having them split up is something that I am still getting used to! The kids went on a fun hayride out to the pumpkin farm to pick a pumpkin.


Hadley had a hard time picking the perfect pumpkin! She searched and searched... but she finally found the one that she wanted.

All the kids in her class thought it was so fun to find the smallest pumpkins! It was so cute!


After they picked the pumpkins - they came back and painted them!


They had a fun swing set - Hadley loves to swing!

There was this cute little train made out of barrels! The kids thought it was the best ride ever!

Here is one of my only pictures of Cayden from the day - he is the third from the back! When it was time for lunch - all the classes were laying out blankets to sit and eat - that was when Cayden came and asked me if he could eat lunch with me! So - maybe he still needs me a little! As soon as lunch was over - he was right back with his class again! (I am definitely not complaining about this - I am glad that Cayden is confident and independent!)

I think one of the best parts for me was not riding the bus! They only have room for a few parents to ride the bus - so I was happy to volunteer to drive my own car (I am not a huge fan of the yellow buses)! As much as my kids loved riding the bus - I was more than happy to get in my car and jam out on the drive home!

7 friends wanted to say...:

You mean you don't have good memories of all those Friday nights we spent on a school bus? :)

What a great memory. I love that the kids wanted the little pumpkins. It is amazing how much entertainment we get out of pumpkins... picking them, decorating them, making yummy things with them. I love pumpkins and this time of year!

Man, Had is soooooo pretty. Cayden is a mini-Devon!! (I would say he is very handsome, but I don't want Devon to think I am coming on to him...:) So Devon's birthday looked fun. He was rockin that crown. Miss you...

That field trip looks like so much fun. You must be so proud to see them act so "old" riding the bus etc....
Also, a very cute picture from the zoo on your blog!
