Pumpkin Patch

Every we get a chance to visit a pumpkin patch in Half Moon Bay. It has become quite the tradition to go with the Smiths & we were lucky to have the Bennions join us this year. We always go to Farmer Johns & have a great time. Here are a few pictures of our experience.

George giving Alex a wheelbarrow ride! It was quite a hit!

Sammy & Alex trying to sit still long enough for me to take a picture.

Alex & Dad outside the teepee. Don't they look alike?

Kelly is giving Sammy & Kelly a wagon ride. Pretty soon all 3 girls needed their own wagons to pull.
Sammy & Alex helping me pick out our little gords...we got some winners for sure!


The tractor if quite the popular part of the pumpkin patch. Alex spent most of his time there playing. Sammy managed to stop pulling the wagon & picking out the pumpkins to sit on the tractor for a quick picture.

Toothless Wonder!

We had a very big week this week...our Sammy lost her two bottom teeth! They had been a little loose over the last month or so, but didn't seem like they would be coming out anytime soon. But on Wednesday night in the bathtub Sammy & Alex were playing tug-a-war with the washclothe in their mouths. All of a sudden I hear a scream. I rush in to find Sammy holding her mouth and Alex hiding underneath the washclothe. Her mouth was bleeding and a tooth was somewhere in the bathtub. Sad to say, but my first priority was to find the tooth & then I helped Sam. After calming down she was very excited that one tooth was gone! And Alex was a little stunned that he had done it!



But the excitement doesn't end there. The next day we were at the park playing & Sammy came running over complaining that her other loose tooth hurt. It was bleeding a little so I tried to wipe the blood away & out came the other tooth. Sammy didn't even know it had happened. She is very excited to be grown up enough to loose teeth and has loved the visits from the Tooth Fairy. We can't believe that our little girl is so big! It really was quite the milestone for us!

Projects

With a new baby on the way I am going crazy with projects. In September I refinished a dresser for George and I...the black one and one for Alex and Sammy. I don't think I want to do that kind of project again for a while. But I am really happy about how they turned out. Now it's time to do the other projects on my list that don't involve painting or sanding. :)
