Fall Break {2010}

MONDAY
Today we went down to one of the neighborhood parks. It was the closest one to our house, unfortunately it is not really toddler friendly. I was worried about Koltyn the entire time. Karter brought a soccer ball and played in the field for a little bit, Kimble danced around the equipment and Koltyn kept me on my toes.



TUESDAY
Today we got a surprise visit from Stephanie and her kids (the Pratt Family). Her boys really wanted to play our X-Box because theirs is not working right now. But they also took time to play with their cousins. I found all the kids in the toy room- except Parker who was taking his turn on the video game. Sophie kept finding pacifiers in the baby toy box and was loving it. The kids were so sad to see them leave.

WEDNESDAY
Today we were invited to Mother Nature's Farm in Gilbert with my sister's work group. While waiting for everybody to arrive we tried to get a picture of all the kids in the pumpkin patch. It didn't work well, but at least we tried and kept the kids occupied for a little bit.

After the hay ride, we looked at all the farm animals. The cow was huge and the goats were trying to eat the grass on the other side of the fence. The big pigs were covered in mud and munching on pumpkins. The kids spent the most time at the chicken coop. They thought that the chickens needed to eat some straw, but the chickens disagreed.

Koltyn was not as into decorating his pumpkin as the other kids were. He preferred to use it as a ball instead. Every time I would give it to him to hold, he threw it on the ground and laughed.

Family picture before heading over to the hay maze. (Kimble was super distracted for some reason while we were at the farm. I don't think that she was looking at the camera in any of the pictures we took.)

The kids got a little lost in the hay maze. It took a while for them to find their way out. Following each other around didn't help. Dallin finally found his way out first and then went back in to help the other kiddos make their way to the exit.

Our three little pumpkins...

THURSDAY
Today was laundry day. Koltyn was my little helper, well kind of. He really just kept the baskets full {of himself} while I folded and put away clean clothes.


FRIDAY
We didn't do much today. We did, however, take a long trip to Home Depot with Kevin. After dinner Karter got out the Legos and started creating. This was one of his favorites!
