The Annual Daddy and B Pumpkin Carving


Scoop away! One day in preschool, the theme was pumpkins. Ben sampled pumpkin seeds, ice cream, and bread. He said he ate four pieces of bread but the seeds were scratchy and tasted like poo-poo. The ice cream also received terrible reviews.

The Preschool Halloween Party!


Ben was soooo excited to host the party. He helped make the invitations, decorations and food. For the invitations he said," mom, you need to write, come to Ben's house for a spooky halloween party." Whenever kids come over, he likes to lead all the activities and show them what to do and where to find everything they need.

Cox Farms


We recently went on a fun trip with friends to Cox Farms in Centreville, Virginia. There were: slides, farm animals, and pumpkins to bring home. Also, yummy apple cider and a wagon ride. We love the fall!

Feeding goats at the Goat Village


These were some aggressive goats. The corn filled ice cream cone lasted about 3 seconds before being yanked out of Ben's hands. Once the cone was gone, they were pretty mild and Ben enjoyed following them around like a little farm boy.
