Trick or Treat

Here they are, all set to clean up. Patsy actually kept her Snow White wig on for two houses...well done Pats.

Parade-o-mania


Here we have GI Joe, Buzz Lightyear and a variety from a girl who can't make up her mind (actually a Mommy who can't make up her mind). Both boys had school parades, so Patsy had opportunities to wear all three costumes we had for her. I couldn't resist the Indian since both boys wore it and she is Sioux. The bear is from last year and was easier to throw on. Plus she's so cute in it...they are all so cute. Look at Brandon and those Buzz wings, little angel.

Ardenwood Farm

Nathan's class had a field trip to Ardenwood Farm and what a time we had. Here the kids are weeding the garden and then enjoyed tomatoes off the vine. They also learned how to spin wool into yarn, pick popcorn off the cob and pop it, observed harvesting pumpkins, had quite the petting zoo, observed a blacksmith and went through the Patterson House. Whew. We had a great day and I'm certain we all slept well that night.

Child's Play

The children played traditional games from "the old days." I remember these games and obviously they don't go out-of-style, as evidenced by Nathan who I had to tear away from the station.

City Kids

What a bunch of city boys plugging their noses after feeding the kids (baby goats, not each other);-)
