Fall Break

I LOVE WORKING FOR THE SCHOOL SYSTEM!! Fall Break was this past weekend and so we took a much needed break and escaped to Greers Ferry, AR. Mom went with us since she's on fall break all week (lucky!). It was nice saturday and sunday, but rained all day monday and tuesday. But we found things to do inside...like nap, watch movies, nap, hide and seek, did I mention nap? "Come on, Mom! You're missing the fish!!"

Brian fishing at "The Narrows"

Kenzie put on her halloween costume, our own little "stinger"! That's Northaven's mascot, by the way. The little yellow puffs on her antenna came off and she tried and tried to get them back on...we'll super glue it before halloween.

Pumpkin Patch part 1

Well, it's that time of year again! We went back to Cedar Hill Farms in Hernando to hopefully get a picture of Kenzie AWAKE in the pumpkin patch! Last year she fell asleep on the hayride and didn't get to see the actual pumpkin patch (like she cared). Brian's parents went with us and we had a great time! The weather was wonderful, but got hot towards lunch time. We fed and petted the animals, saw the chicken show, rode the "train", and then took a hayride over to the corn maze and pumpkin patch. When we got back, Kenzie meticulously picked out pumpkins to take home. We're visiting another pumpkin patch in a couple of weeks with Kenzie's Nana and Pop, so stay tuned! Kenzie had a hard time seeing the rabbits because they didn't come out of their cages much, but she sure tried!

We took a snack break and Kenzie got to sit in a real chair! She barely came up to the top of the table, but she got the job done.

She started getting sleepy on the hayride, but perked up when she got to run around in the pumpkin patch. She kept chasing after bugs...doesn't get that curiosity of bugs from me, that's for sure!

Kenzie was very particular about her pumpkins. She really didn't know what to think about the gourds! "Check these out, Grandpa!"

Dancin' the night away!

Kenzie was in a hilarious mood tonight! She would push the lion's nose and just start dancing! We have no idea why she says "shhhhhhh" at the end but it's hysterical!!!!

Llama, Llama Red Pajama

We had a fun day last friday at our school! The author/illustrator of Llama, Llama Red Pajama Anna Dewdney came to read her book to our children! In honor of her book, Mr. Padgett had two llamas brought in! Brian and Kenzie came to school with me (Kenzie in her pajamas of course!) and we had a ball! Kenzie, fearless as usual, loved petting the llamas and trying to put her hand in their mouth. They didn't seem to mind when she pulled on their ears too!
