Sauce Buns

On the way out to the farm Madelyn said maybe Grandma will make us sauce buns. Imagine how excited she was when we arrived to warm sauce buns. How long does it take a 4 year old and 2 year old to eat a pan full of sauce buns. I'll give you a hint about as long as it takes Grandma to change a baby's diaper. Yes the two of them are almost the whole pan, I think Grandma, Chris and I each got 2. To say the least neither child was over hungry for supper.

Sugar cookies

One of our favorite cookies to make are sugar cookies. You get to roll, cut, and decorate them!

And a picture of cuteness! 

Skating

Will has been asking to play hockey so we made a deal, skating lessons this year and then once he can skate good, then hockey next year.  I was not sure how skating was going to go today as he kept saying he did not know of he wanted to go, what if he fell etc. etc. we assured Will that he would fall but he just had to get up and try, try again. When we finally got to the rink he was excited. Much to my surprise he stepped onto the ice like he had been skating for years. He made it all the way across the rink all alone. Yes, he fell a few times but got right back up! He did all the activities and was very excited when his lesson was over. He can't wait to go back and skate again. Guess we better start looking for hockey equipment for next year:)

Practicing at home

Ready to go!

Making his way out!

Pumpkin Hollow

Each year we try and make it out to Pumpkin Hollow. We were not sure if we would make it this year. With Chris work travel, trying to make it out to the farms to combine and a few cool days it was no looking hopeful. However it was beautiful today so we made the trip out this morning. We always go first thing in the morning as it tends to get super busy in the afternoon and plus the girls need their naps. We arrived right at 10 when it opened and left about noon and yes it was getting busy!

Since it was so nice we decided to have one last wiener roast of the year!

Complete with glo sticks once it got dark.

A great fall day! Hopefully weather stays nice for a few more weeks!

Fall Leaves

Nothing is better then playing in a big pile of leaves!

Activities

Each day I try to do some type of craft with the big kids. Some days it is something we can eat others craft or puzzles etc. etc. 

Some weeks they are themed around a letter or upcoming holiday. Sometimes just random.

Here are a few we have made recently (when I remembered to take pictures).

Pumpkin Rice Krispie cakes. We plan on taking these to our play date tomorrow.

Fall trees!
