Foam Pumpkins

The kids made these foam pumpkins last Saturday. They loved them and put them in a windowsill.. Sadly, Chompers kitty liked them too....The kids were good about it luckily.

Decorating with a kitten will be interesting this year. Any suggestions?

I just asked Greta what we should have for dinner. Nothing sounds good tonight. She said "cereal. If you don't know what to eat for a meal you should always eat cereal."

You are going to be a great mommy someday Greta.

A Little Charlie Brown Cloud

Since Mr. Fieldin is still in his terrible twos I have noticed he has a little Charlie Brown cloud following him around some days. It is hard to be a little guy in a big world.

Fieldin, as your mama, I promise to always be the Linus to your Charlie Brown when you are having a tough time.(even when you become old and grey)

Love you little fellow. Out of all the Fieldin Crewe's in the world. You are the Fieldin Crewe-iest... and that is a pretty awesome thing.



You Can Now Officially Draw On The Wall

Here is the official memo, don't lose it... It is ok to write on the wall. Notice I didn't make it plural so just one wall... the "Hub" wall that is in the middle of everything. It is prime real estate people, right next to the trash can, the pantry, garage door and the fridge. We are having fun with it. I wanted an even bigger chalk wall in my dreams but I had to be realistic. We also added cork trim to the top to display creations from the resident artists, instead of having them taped all over the walls.

 I filled two plastic cups with the EXACT SAME number of pieces and colors of chalk. Good thing I did because they compared. HA HA you two. One step ahead of you..no reason to argue!

 Here is Fieldin making a "gigantic pumpkin"

 This is what it looks like most the time. Bright colors everywhere. At the moment it is covered in drawings of colored fall leaves and one of Fieldins pumpkins. I loove it so much I can't erase it.. this may be a problem!

I am looking forward to years of these little treasures waiting for me. This one says"punken by Greta"

Overall it was easy and I was worried about the dust and mess a little but it hasn't been bad at all.

Update On The Hoedown Going On Outside On The Porch

We are getting there :) 

Pumpkin Patch

(Fieldin sliding down a hay slide in a sack)

 There are too many Pumpkin patches to choose from around here, so I guess each year we will try out a new one. Today the kids had fun going down slides, going through a dark maze and (getting lost with mommy..ahem) in a traditional maze. They rode a tractor hay ride, checked out some GIANT pumpkins and searched for their own. It was a fun time.

Video: After School Dancing

First off, my apologies Future Fieldin. I know you won't appreciate that I posted a video of you just in your diaper.. but lets be honest here.. you don't like pants.

We have been a bit under the weather here and decorating for Halloween. The front porch is looking more Kevin Bacon in Footloose having your prom in a barn hoedown than Halloween... But we are working on it.... I am hoping pumpkins make all the difference. In the meantime if any neighbors out there want to slide on their cowboy boots and and go Footloose on our front porch I promise to not watch or ask questions.  

The Big Boy Is Now Three

This Little Mister is now 3!!!!

 He wanted to go bowling, he ate pizza and then ice cream at Hazel Nut Hill. he ate lots of Bday treats and opened his presents, which when asked what he got, he said $2000... He really got a plane, blocks, tool kit, puzzles, Batman stuff, a car garage and some other stuff.

 So this was one of the little bundt cakes he made yesterday. He did great at blowing out his candle.

 And of course we got out the birthday train for breakfast.

Happy Birthday sweet boy! We all love you so. I can not believe you are three years old. We are so lucky it has been three years of health, love, laughter and a wonderful life with you. I have cherished these past years so much, watching you and your sister grow into the wonderful children you are.

Happy Birthday to you, Fieldy Pooh! Cha Cha Cha!

and to Miss Belle... Happy half Bday.
