Visit to Papa's Pumpkin Patch

We went to Papa's Pumpkin Patch today to get a pumpkin. We went on a fun hayride to pick out our own pumpkin.
Well. Most of us thought it was fun....

Lilly and Levi on the hayride. Lilly was fascinated by the hay.

Walking through the pumpkins to find the perfect Lilly-sized pumpkin.

Lilly popped a squat on a pumpkin. Then she fell off. I didn't post that picture...

I think her little bottom might be poking out of her jeans in this one! =)

She really enjoyed the Thomas train table. If we had a playroom to put one in....

Lilly and dad on their way to get a pumpkin. I had the camera on the wrong setting so this came out blue-ish.

Lilly played in the bounce house for a few minutes. She couldn't really stand up but she thought it was fun anyways! And the photo disappeared....sorry!
She also chased some chickens. The chickens were smart enough to escape into the barn.

Happy Birthday Aunt Kris

Kris turned the big 4-0 today! Happy Birthday to a wonderful sister and aunt! This is our gift to her....

Love, Sarah and Lilly!

Billy's Senior Pictures

I took some of Billy's senior pictures today. I thought they turned out great. Hopefully he doesn't mind me posting a sneak peek.....

Emily Visits!

My friend Emily came to visit us this weekend. It was SO nice to spend some quality time with her. I don't think we've had a chance to spend time togther since like, high school??!!

It took Lilly a bit (as usual) to warm up to Emily but they were soon friends!

Fire Station

Today Lilly and I went to visit the Fire Station. It's Fire Safety Week, after all! Lilly was a little nervous to sit in the fire truck by herself but she got in the back of a few of the trucks. Here she is behind the driver's seat in the fire engine. She (of course) is concerned about the buckle. Safety first, right?

We also ate some ice cream...even though it was only 50 degrees outside....

At our fire station they have a slide instead of a fireman's pole. We got to go down the slide together.

This is most of the slide, minus a few twists. It feels like it's never going to end when you're going down it! This is the second time I got to go down the slide! I went with my first graders when I was doing my student teaching.

We came home with a bag full of pencils, erasers, temporary tattoos, stickers, coloring pages, and brochures about fire safety. Lilly really enjoys stickers these days so she put them all on her shirt at once! That's fine with me as long as I remember to take them off before I wash it....

Who Wouldn't Believe Her?

Conversation (if you can call it that) between Levi and Lilly:

Daddy: Lilly, are you lyin'?

Lilly:....ROAR!

I think she either a.) misunderstood or b.) was really lying!

Sorry there are not photos in this post. We haven't done anything photo-worthy this week/weekend!
