Our weekend

Hey there! :) 

So, we had a very busy weekend ... the school carnival, a visit to the pumpkin patch ... and a tea party. Man, we're tired ... good thing school starts up again tomorrow! :) Pictures from our weekend follow, although they are a little out of order. I have no idea what's going on ... I just want to blog and it has to get complicated! So, bear with me ... 

Union Hill hosted a carnival on Saturday. Chuck's mountain bike team had a booth (a tire toss game) and the kids and I headed out to explore the rest of the festivities. Here, Zack can be seen taking a turn on the drum set. He actually did a pretty good job with it! 

And then it was Chloe's turn. The girl has rhythm to be sure! 

This was Sunday morning. We decided to sleep in and take it easy. The kids humored themselves with a tea party in Chloe's bedroom. Man, they made a mess fast ... amazingly this only took about 15 minutes to clean up. Is fun proportional to the amount of toys on the floor? Not sure, but I'm thinking yes! 

Sunday afternoon, Chuck, Gavin, Chloe and myself decided to check out a pumpkin patch on our way home from dropping off Zack. Here Chloe feeds the horse and Gavin rides the horse. This pumpkin patch wasn't so much about choosing a pumpkin ... for $5 each, the kids got to spend 30 minutes playing in jump houses and going down slides. Perfect way to burn off some energy! 

Back to the school carnival on Saturday, Chloe got a butterfly painted on her face. It lasted about 10 minutes until Chloe had an itch and scratched the whole thing off!

The bounce house on Saturday was a huge hit, too! I love the next two pictures ... the excitement in the faces of Chloe and Gavin and then Zack's big smile. Very cute! :) 

The fire truck on Saturday afternoon also allowed for some fun. Here, Zack is checking out the instruments on the back. 

 

And finally, the bat that Gavin had painted on his face! 

Another big milestone was that he lost a front tooth this weekend. He and Zack were wrestling and out popped the tooth. There was a little blood, but after we got everything cleaned up, Gavin gave Zack a big thank you ... that little tooth had been dangling for what seemed like weeks! 

And so, we get ready for one more busy week. Wednesday there are field trips for both Chloe and Zack (to the local pumpkin patch) and Thursday is Zack's fourth birthday ... HOLY COW! 

Hope you're doing well! 

Much love,
