Pumpkin Patch

By -
I'm generally not a spontaneous person. Mostly because I worry about inconveniencing (or worse, bothering) other people. But I love people who are spontaneous, even though I'm really not.

I woke up one morning and decided I'd take Leah to Jaker's Pumpkin Patch in Springville. And since my old roomie Katie lives there, I asked her to join us with her kids. They enthusiastically jumped on the bandwagon and headed out the door as soon as they could.

The Pumpkin Patch had more activities than I expected: a corn pit, two slides, a mini haunted house, a hay ride, a hay pyramid, two hay mazes (one small, one large), animals, and (obviously) pumpkins. I'm not sure what was the most popular attraction for our party because the kids had so much fun with everything. We actually met up a second time to do the same thing about two weeks later.

End of February

How can today be the last day of February already?  It still feels like the year just started. Andrew had his birthday. Yay for getting older! Life can only get better, right? We have a tradition of getting together with Ken and Jen (my old roommate and her man) to eat at Tucanos. Tucanos has a "Birthday Club," which means that if you sign up, they'll send you a paper for a free meal. It's on the pricier side to eat there, so I'm a fan of the "Birthday Club." We started this tradition back when we were dating because Andrew and Ken both have birthdays in February. We met up with Ken, Jen, Tyler, and Linda for our annual February Tacanos dinner on Friday night. Leah was really tired, so we didn't do anything afterward. We had scheduled it for two weeks earlier, but I ended up feeling really sick the night before and didn't get much sleep. I was not in the mood to eat anything, so we postponed. It was fun when it finally happened though. :) On hi...

Writing

I thought I should share a few pictures on the ol' blog. A special thanks to pinterest for the brilliant idea of putting papers in sheet protectors for kids to trace. Leah has already dried out one expo marker since this morning. I'm going to need to limit how much she can play with it. I didn't want her to just scribble everywhere like she does with coloring books. So this morning I sat down and started tracing letters myself. She's a jealous soul when I don't invite her to play with me. It worked like a charm.
