Fall Happenings

 so caroline has LOVED her 2 day a week preschool class this year...that is all except for music class. for some odd and unknown reason she has been prone to tearfulness at music time! my suspicion is she enjoys sitting on her teacher's lap the entire class and this has become her ticket to do that:) in any case....after several attempts on the boys part to coach her through why music was fun, the fact that she might get the "super singer" award, etc. we finally resorted to bribing her. yep. i am that mom. all it took was one lollipop and folks....may i present to you our most recent super singer!!

 if dad happens to be out of town on a wednesday night..you will most likely find us here enjoying kid's night at firehouse subs:)

this fall we took our first "school" field trip to hunter farms where we enjoyed pumpkin "picking", a hayride and the petting zoo!

 and what would fall be without one more camping trip!! this time, ben and evan took the kids to star, nc for a stay on ben's family's land.

here is a picture of the cabin ben's grandad, papa built many, many years ago...

though a bit run down, it is still in the woods where ben spent many a day shooting guns and just being a boy! kind of neat to see the kids hanging out here too. 

 the boy's bravely entered the kid's pie eating contest at our church's fall festival this year. no winners...but a valiant effort!

 on tuesday afternoons we get to have drew, kurt and annascott hang out with us! needless to say...the fun abounds!

playdoh ice-cream anyone??
