Jordynisms ~

 

As my daughter continues to entertain me with her "i wonder...how come...what ifs.." i figured id share with you some of her latest Jordynisms!

"hey mom...wouldnt it be cool if we lived in outer space...but then our food would float away.  I guess we'd have to get space suits for our food!"

"what if you lived inside a balloon and it deflated?  That would be weird because then you would have to find another one to live in."

"i know fairies are real, because the tooth fairy always signs her notes, love the tooth fairy.  If she wasnt a fairy, what would she be...the tooth monkey or something like that?"

Now we're off to carve pumpkins...have a great night!

Tis the Season ~

 

Thats right...we scored a box of Boo Berry, Frankenberry and Count Chocula this season!

Hooray for sugary goodness :)

Fall Festival ~

 Friday was the Fall Festival...something the kids look forward to all year!  The gym is secretly decorated all day while the kids are in class...and all the while, they are constantly trying to sneak a peek...during lunch, recess and potty breaks...there is always someone trying to catch a glimpse of the excitement that awaits.

 Once dressed up, the kids have a parade around the school and then head in to the gym for carnival fun and games!  There was a fortune teller, pinata, "cake"walk (in which they win a stuffed toy instead of a cake), ring toss, bowling, golf, bean bag toss, and several other fun games.

 And dont forget the costume contest...Jordyn won again as well as her friends Jackson (on the left) and Bella (on the right)...This is her second year in a row to win, so she was surprised and excited to be picked again!

 At the parties end, each child left with a huge bag of goodies, a punch mustache, great memories and lots of giggles and grins!

Our Drive To School This Morning ~

 Here's that snow i was talking about...

 and dont be fooled by all the tire tracks...its hunting season...ordinarily, we are the first ones out in the morning :)  In fact, we had a lot of traffic today, passing four cars on our 12 mile stretch :)  (all hunters of course)

Have a cozy day!

Field Trip to the Pumpkin Patch ~

 Yesterday the Preschool, Kindergarten and 1st graders went to Bartel Farms Pumpkin Patch!  Hooray for field trips!  It was scheduled for last Wednesday, however, the trip was canceled due to high winds...so the kid were rather excited to go today!

 They had a lot of chickens wandering around the farm, along with some pigs, turkeys, sheep and ducks.  It was a little cold, with snow expected later in the afternoon, so we were all bundled up for our hayride!

 

 Look how wound up they were once the tractor started...

 and look at all those pumpkins, ripe for the picking!  I just love the colors and eye candy that surround a pumpkin patch!  Lots of inspiration for painting everywhere you look!

 And speaking of eye candy...check out these super cute pumpkins......

 Ms Bev, Mrs. Jayroe and Ms Donna...such good sports!
And they have to be with this Peanut Gallery!

 I had one of Jordyns classmates take this photo...good job Blake!  Now it was time to pick out a pumpkin!

 Some of the kids grabbed teeny tiny pumpkins that fit in their pockets, while others grabbed ginormous ones, almost too big to carry.

Jordyn picked out this beauty, while i chose one covered in warts :)

 All in all...a great day at the pumpkin patch!  Oh, and we beat the snow home by about 10 minutes...hooray!

New Etsy Store ~

I finally got around to opening a shop on Etsy.  These are a few of the items i added last night...though i have a lot of ideas brewing on the craft table.  I hope you will visit and let me know what you think!  Cheers~

Halloween Hello Kitty ~

 Jordyn models a new outfit from Christy...and then poses with a not so willing Fuzzy :)

 What a beautiful pair!

Meanwhile, these are the latest squares ive made for the birthday block swap for Miss October...she wanted 3, 6, 9 or 12 inch blocks with purples, and since i chose a smaller size, i went ahead and made her a couple of 3 inchers too :)  Hope she likes them!  Happy Monday~
