pumpkin patch

Tuesday morning found me at the pumpkin patch for the first grade field trip. It was cold, wet and muddy. I go on field trips to the pumpkin patch every year (sometime two and three times) and this was possibly the coldest (and certainly the muddiest) it's been while we were there. I am not cut out for farm life! The first graders didn't mind a little (or a lot) of mud and cold though! And I did enjoy it too...especially since Coby was having so much fun. Just wish it wasn't quite so chilly that day!

Warning...you are about to see a million pictures of Coby Lane at the pumpkin patch (he's the only one of my boys who actually doesn't mind mommy following him around with a camera...for now!).

hanging out with a classmate at the entrance

heading into the stall where the bunnies are kept

this pic was taken while Coby was telling a little boy that the bunnies were not stupid after a little boy said they were! How dare anyone say such!! Way to stand up for the bunnies Coby!

this pony was so sweet

you would've thunk (is that a word?) that the goats were never fed...they ate and ate and ate, then they even grabbed Coby's cup and started eating it too!

scrubby dubby (I just loved the outdoor sinks...brilliant idea!)

time for a pony ride

Playing in the sand (for a moment in time he seemed younger than his years)

the hayride took us to the corn maze

the corn maze then led us to yet another maze (have I ever mentioned that I am directionally challenged...one maze would've been plenty ;))

the last maze took us to this huge slide...they loved this

and lastly Coby picked out his perfect pumpkin

Coby got recognized as a sensational citizen during round up on Friday. Way to go Coby!!!

And this is totally unrelated to this post, but we have a new addition to the family...

Meet Norman

Someone surprised me with him today. The boys and I LOVE him. He is all decked out in OU gear. He looks so cute sitting on our front porch. What a fun gift. THANK YOU!
