kate and hannah on small world

good times

once again my pictures are backwards. this is them walking to get to the park

i wake up with this child sometimes twice a night. obviously she does not appreciate it!

this is kate's absolute favorite ride. the minute she hears the music she gets her dancing shoes on and rocks out.

pumpkin patch

I got suckered into buying this milk. It was 6.59 and then you had to pay 1.59 bottle deposit. for those of you who know how cheap i am, you know how difficult this was for me

on our way to the pumpkin patch

this doesn't do the amount of pumpkins justice

nor does this

hannah had just too good of a time

trying to get 3 kids to smile is an absolute nightmare

marmie met us for church and came with us

we picked all the pumpkins we needed

my lil pumpkins

hannah lassoed the cow and won a free piece of pumpkin pie

we took our annual trip to the Cal Poly Pomona Pumpkin Patch. This is the nicest and cheapest pumpkin patch around. The pumpkins are only 5 dollars and all of the rides and booths are a dollar or so. The kids faces lit up when they saw all the pumpkins, I lit up when I saw the large bag of kettle korn. They rode horses, went down a bounce slide, saw a petting zoo, had some snacks and picked some pumpkins. I have to say, Halloween is not my thing, but I do love getting pumpkins with the girls. The day would have been perfect if it wasn't for the weather. Thank God it was 20 degrees, literally, cooler today than yesterday. I'm all for the California weather, but it TOO hot for October!

Preschool

my kit kat started school today. she was so excited. she has taken an empty lunch pail in the car so many time i can't even count. today she looked inside and there was an actual lunch. she kept saying...'i have a water bottle' 'i have a granola bar', 'mom you gave me a turkey sandwich?' the smile on her face melted my heart. i know i should be sad that she is starting preschool, but it is a nice break from the everyday grind. megsie is napping, i cleaned the house and am going to go to costco. i think if it was the end i would be a lot more emotional, but there is a lot we have to look forward to still...

please excuse kate's smile. she's in a funk where she thinks it looks cute:)

kate's first day of preschool 10/13/09

2 teeth

this was suppose to be the last pic.
trying to get her teeth

still trying

not so much

we were sitting in church and with no notice at all, i see meghan's 2 bottom teeth. she didn't cry one bit. this baby continues to amaze me. she is the most wonderful little baby in the whole world. she has become a full fledge crawler and totally mobile. she pulls herself up on everything and is feeding herself puffs. she learned to drink out of a straw sippy cup the 1st time. she loves to eat paper. i took away her play gym and replaced it with a little basket of 'her toys' that hannah and kate are constantly into. it's amazing, they won't let her touch any of their stuff, but oh how they love her rattles and teething toys!
