Pumpkin Patch Field Trip

One of the things I am most excited about being a SAHM is the ability to be a home room mom.  I hope Eli shares the same feelings!

I got my first taste of this sweetness as we took our first field trip to the pumpkin patch.  It was pure kid chaos but so much fun.  I love seeing him interact with his teachers and classmates.

Superman!



And then all the rest look like he is in pain.

We took a hayride to feed some of the animals.

Look closely and you can see the nasty cow tongue going in for the piece of bread!

Cowboy Eli!

Some serious road rage!

I'm BAACCCKKK!

I know it's been way too long.  Here is a brief recap of what has happen over the last 3 months:

JULY:
My little man turned 3.  We had a superhero themed swim party.  He had a blast.  I can't believe he is already 3! 

August:
We mainly spent our days swimming and avoiding the heat.  We did make it to Grossology in Ft. Worth.  It was, well, gross.  

 Here Eli is climbing the dermatitis wall.

SEPTEMBER:
Labor Day we took a trip to Red River, New Mexico.  We drove the entire 12 hours in one day and Eli was a trooper!  I am still often amazed at the laid back attitude he has.  I think he must get it from Brent.

And then our biggest life change - Pre-K 3.  Eli started a 2-day per week preschool program and is loving it.  I was nervous because he has a little bit of separation anxiety but he has been 100% okay since the first day. 





Even on days that wakes up and tells me he doesn't want to go to school by the time we are in the parking lot he is kicking his feet with excitement.  He likes his teachers and I can already tell a huge change in the way he interacts with kids and focuses on tasks. 

Now, October is not over so I WILL post about this month in a separate post BEFORE the end of the month.
