Owyn's Farm Friends Pumpkin Patch Feild Trip

Owyn was super excited about visiting the Pumpkin Patch with her Farm Friends...However on the drive to the Pumpkin Patch she got a little upset we were not going to "Her Farm School"  She was very concerned and kept telling me "wrong way" "not my school"  but I just kept telling her her teachers and friends were meeting us at the patch.  It was funny when we got there and got out and she saw her teachers it was like how did they get here?  So then she was happy and ready to explore with her friends.  First we stopped by the Picked patch of pumpkins as they explored the flat round pile then we got to see the pigs eating pumpkins for a snack....and the cows, little pony, goats, rabbits, chickens, goose, and roaster were all enjoying pumpkin too.  Then we got to jump int he pumpkin shaped jumper it was a big winner with all the kids.  We also got to go on a hay ride(which I didn't get a picture of) and then we got to have snack with our friends and after snack we got to climb the hay bails and do the slides.  At the end of the trip Owyn and her friends Kaylee found a swing to swing on together. 






At last we arrived home and attempted to read a few books but only made it a few pages in when I caught her snoring away...I guess the Pumpkin Patch can be exhausting!

Fire Fighters!

Today was super exciting at Xavier's School!  It was Fire Fighters Day and they came with the big Fire Truck.  I was thankful I was able to go and join the fun as Owyn was at preschool this morning.  The Fireman talked about fire safety and then one of the fireman dress up in his fire suit and showed the kids what they look and sound like all dress up.  The kids loved this and then they showed them a few of the goodies that are loaded on the firetruck that they always take with to the fires!  It was super hard for the kids not to touch all the good items in the truck.  Then before they were done they each got a Fire Hat to take home.  Xavier talked a lot this afternoon about how he wants to be a fireman when he grows up.

Wild Wild West Day!

Howdy!!! Last Thursday Owyn got to dress up for her Wild West Theme day at her school and Xavier decided he wanted to dress up for pictures with Owyn before heading out to school.  When the newsletter came home about dressing up like a cowboy/girl or farmer I was like we only have some boots so I searched the internet and came across a super cute John Deere dress on Esty and then saw the price tag of 55 bucks and was like I could sew that I just need to find the material.  Well thankfully our local fabric store had the same fabric except the trim so I picked out some that matched the JD fabric and went to crafting up this dress.  I am pretty amazed at how well it turned out...the only issue is on the back were the straps crossed I need to figure out a better way next time to sew to keep the thread lines more hidden but this cute little dress cost me a less then 5 dollars and about 4 hours start to finish with the sewing.  Owyn was super happy about her dress.  So getting dress was a breeze compared to the mornings before.  She let me do pigtails with flower clips and then insisted that she need the head band too and you see how she likes to wear it. and then she wore her pink John Deere boots.

Owyn's first day of Farm Friends!

Wow!  How the summer has slipped by and it's already time for my baby girl to start her new adventure of school.  Two short weeks ago Xavier started Pre-K and Owyn was so upset that she didn't get to go.  Today was such a hugh exciting day.  She was super happy to be wearing her Hello Kitty outfit and her "packpack"  She let me do her hair with ease this morning which was nice from the 20 min knock downs that we have been having to just get in one ponytail.

Owyn is going to the same preschool Xavier went to last year when we moved here and all she talked about from the time she woke up til she got to school was how she was going to "me farm school" "me need packpack" me see me friends" she was super cute after we dropped Xavier off talking about seeing the rabbits and the chickens and the pony.  When we drop her off we pull up and the teacher greets us at the car and takes her in and she kept saying hurry up I need go school. Finally it was time to get out of the car and I unbuckled her and opened the door and she was practically jumping out of the car I had to beg her for hugs and kisses before she got out.  She petted the kitty laying by the door and as I drove off I heard her yell "Bye Mommy"  Today was a bit bitter sweet as my baby started her new adventure into the big girl world.  I did miss her while she is at school but the welcome she gave me at the end of the day melted my heart and I loved how she told be about her day and was so excited that she got to go to school.  Its so crazy just how fast these two have grown up in the last two years.  Xavier has grown well into his big brother roll and love showing his sister new things and Owyn has become this super independent girl who I almost forget some days when she was just a baby....it those moments that you realize just how fast they grow up.

On the Road Again...

On the way home from camping the kids were being a bit silly and Xavier found the bag of Sunglasses and went to town making sunglasses head.  Shortly after the glasses they fell fast asleep after such a hot busy weekend.
