Drew had a great season this yr playing soccer. He scored at least 2 field goals every game. He loved it and had a smile on his face the whole time. I thought he would like to play next yr and he told me, "Mommy, next yr I want to play football." So, we shall see if we hit the soccer fields again with Drew. I plan to sign Luke up and he is ready to GO!!!

PUMPKIN PATCH

We did our annual trip to the Pumpkin Patch at Stoney Creek Farm. This is our 5th yr we have gone. I found this place when we were building our home and took our first trip out there when Drew was 9 mo old. Now, 5 yrs later we have the whole family there. We had such a great time as a family that day. They had the Pumpkin Train Ride, Straw Maze, Straw Mountain, Haunted House (not so scary for kids), and the the Hayride out to the Patch. We got lots of great photos that day as you can see. It was cold, but a beautiful sunny day. We picked our pumpkin to take home and can't wait to do the Pumpkin carving next for Halloween!

Drew's Class Field Trip

Smith Family Farm October 2, 2009

Leo, Drew, Lauren, Shyrea

We also visited the farm animals and the kids are petting the baby chicks here.

We went out to the Pumpkin Patch to find our pumpkins and the kids picked the little one for me. I thought it was cute! Of all pumpkins in the field...that is the one I got!

Mrs. Simmonds told them to pick a pumpkin that they could carry so the MOM Teacher wouldn't be in charge of carrying all the pumpkins....good idea Mrs. Simmonds!

Drew said MOM..I found my pumpkin.... so I took a pic. Soooo cute!

A couple of weeks ago I was able to go on Drew's class field trip to Smith Family Farm. I was the MOM Teacher for the day. There were a total of 5 MOM Teachers and we were in charge of our group of kids. I had to make sure all their stuff was together for the trip, take them all to the bathroom, get them on the bus, and once we got there in charge of all their activities. I was a little nervous being in charge of 4 kids and making sure I had all 4 by the end of the day. Once we got there we had to do all the activities the Farm had to offer. We first played in the playground area. I was losing my kids b/c other schools were there as well. I finally decided after 5 minutes of stressing where all my kids were I decided we were all going to play together. We did all the playground equipment and took turns. Next, we visited the Farm animals. By that time it was our class turn to go on the Hayride and education on the Farm. When we returned, I had lunch with my kids. Mind you, no other adults were with me..just all kids. They were so much fun and soo cute! After lunch I saved the fun stuff! We finally went out to the Pumpkin Patch. The kids had to find a pumpkin their size and they all had fun deciding which pumpkin to pick. I was able to take a pumpkin home as well and they picked the smallest and cutest one for me. Last but not least, we did the corn maze. I thought I knew exactly where I was going and then next thing I knew I didn't. I got a little scared thinking..what if we don't make it out of here. We saved this activity for last, so if all else fails they can't leave without us, right???!!! Well, we did find the end of the maze, whew!!!! I had the best time that day not only being there for Drew, but volunteering in his class and being a part of his school. Even though I am working part time, I am making all my effort to be there for my kids. I am making it work so far...but only time will tell if I will stay home but my kids do come first. Enjoy the pics!
