Pumpkin Patch fun

As Halloween approaches, it's time for the annual trip to the pumpkin patch!! We hit up a Plumper farm this year to change things up a bit. We went with our friends Bailey, Parker, Kai and little baby Riley and had a BLAST!!




They had a big hay slide, farm animals, big slides and pumpkins of course... :) Check out little Caits taking on the "big kid" slides... no holding her back from all the fun.



And yes, I got to ride a pony!! Her name was "Peaches" :)

Playing Hookie (at the zoo :)

We decided to play hookie last Friday and hit the zoo!!! It was SO fun... I loved the animals - My favorites were the monkeys and elephants, but I really, really liked the goats (which I got to pet) and the giraffes too. Oh yeah, and the bears!!! I was a really good helper too, holding Caitlyn's hand and making sure she didn't climb to high on the railings!! (which she did, lots of times :)

I can't wait until we go back!! Oh, and I think we wore Caits out!!

I'm a budding artist...

check out some of my latest artwork!!... My favorite thing to draw right now is a sun with a smiley face...

And of course, I love to paint too... some of my latest here. I painted with fall colors since it's fall here :)

Our favorite post-meal snack

Blueberries...!! Oh yeah, and check out Caits and I sporting our awesome aprons/smocks... pretty sweet huh?

Twirly slide

After watching Caitlyn go down the twirly slide a few times, I decided that I didn't want to be out done by my little sis.... so I tackled the slide that I typically sit at the top of, wanting to go down, but never actually going down... who knew, it's fun!!!

Caits masters the forward roll...

For about 6 months now, Caitlyn has been on a mission to master the forward roll (which pretty much look like's she's doing downward dog :) Well, I'm hear to tell you that at 19 months she has officially conquered it... check her out!!!

Shopping companion

Mom and Caits decided that I needed some bigger shoes because my feet are getting bigger and bigger and my shoes are not!! I think Caits provided mom some good entertainment at the store... (as always :).

Pizza amore...

One of my FAVORITE meals is pizza. I like to eat it, but mostly i love to make it!! I've been perfecting how I spread the sauce, just to the edge but not over. After that, the rest is easy!! And yes, I did spread out my own dough :).

My first field trip!!

It's true. I had my first legit field trip today!! We got to ride a bus (with NO seatbelts) and everything. My mom rode on the bus too, but I didn't sit next to her. I sat next to my friend Amelia. When we got to the pumpkin farm we got to do a hay ride to the pumpkins! I searched the pumpkin field long and hard to find a perfect pumpkin. Small, round, clean, with a small stem. I'd say I did pretty good :)



After the perfect pumpkin was hunted down, I had some fun playing on the hay bails, seeing the farm animals and running through the "scarecrow" tunnel.


I LOVED my field trip - can't wait till the next!!

60th Annual Greek Fest!!

One things for sure, you don't want to miss the Greek Festival!!! The food is so, so yummy. I really love the spanakopita and the souvlaki. Here's a tip - have them dip the bread in the souvlaki sauce - um, um, um. Oh, of course you have to top it off with some loukamades. Just beware, the bees will fight you for them!!



I really loved watching the dancing too. Caits even tried to dance like them - it was silly.
