Pumpkin Patch 'Fieldtrip' . . .

Neither of my girls had a pumpkin patch fieldtrip this year, so a couple friends and I took our little ones and made our own.  It was great weather, sandwiched between two rainy days, and the kids had a lot of fun!

our little stinker . . .

Trying to get into the pantry . . .

Climbing on the counter and turning light switches on and off . . .

Blowing out candles on the kitchen island . . .

Climbed on the oven door, and used a toy bucket to climb on top of the stove . . .

 Good thing he's so cute!

some randomness . . .

A little girl turned 7!

 When Daddy is at work, I don't stop him from playing with dolls .  Shhhh!

 Sometimes they play together really well, and empty out all my kitchen cupboards . . .

the little guy is 2!

We had a birthday party with his little buddies this morning.  He got spoiled with books, his first Lego, John Deere trucks, and even some power tools!

Because of Justin's egg allergy, I substituted bananas for the eggs in the cupcakes.  They turned out really yummy!  I think I actually prefer them this way for future parties for the girls too.

Daddy had the day off, and went on a fieldtrip with Elayna this morning, but came home just in time for lunch and presents :)

After dinner, we finished off the cupcakes for dessert.

And Justin opened up his present from us.

I think he likes it :)

And we got him a 'big boy' bed a few days ago, but kept the crib set up for now because I haven't bought the proper mattress protector and sheets yet.  But tonight at bedtime, he started pointing at the bed and standing up and screaming in the crib ~ so, we gave it a try and he went straight to sleep in it.  I can't believe how quickly this little guy is growing up!
