Flower Mound Pumpkin Patch

This Monday we went over to the Flower Mound Pumpkin Patch with Cole's school. It was fun. There were blow-up slides and bounce houses, which was Cole's favorite part. There were wooden cut-outs of all sorts of cartoon characters you could get your picture made with. We went on a hayride and got to stop and pick a pumpkin to take home. Cole got a snow cone. Which brings me to something I have noticed, all the snow cone stands around here are open all year long. I think that makes snow cones not as special for the summer time. In Gainesville it was a very special day when you finally saw the snow cone stand set up for the summer. Anyway, We climbed on hay bales and walked around the pumpkin patch. There were lots of pumpkins. We picked a few of the little ones to bring home with us. One for each of us, including Isabella. Cole picked out the smallest one he could find for her. We had a picinic with Coles class and the moms that came. It was a good day. I had to force Cole to leave. He wants to go back so Mitchell can go with us. They also have a Christmas thing there that we might have to check out. By the way Cole is squinting in most of the pictures but there was nothing I could do about it, the sun was really bright that day.

Fall Festival

Last weekend we went to The New Creation Preschool Fall Festival. Which is one of three we will be attending this year. There was lots to do. For the kids there was a petting zoo, a blow up slide, lots of games and face painting. Cole really liked the petting zoo but was chasing the animals into a frenzy so he didn't stay there long. His favorite thing was, of course, the big blow up slide. I took a few pictures but was inside helping get things ready for dinner and the auction. The kids sang a few songs before dinner was served. As many of you have seen Cole does not do very well at singing in front of a crowd even though he knows the songs and sings them at home. Well things have changed since last year. He did great. Much of the time he was the only one you could hear singing and he was doing the motions and having so much fun. We were amazed. Much improvement from last years performances.
