Addie had her very first field trip a few weeks ago. It included the entire preschool k-3, k-4 and k-5. we were the only school at the Dreamfield Farm Pumpkin Patch and brought the farm to near full capacity. I guess that says a lot about the size of Addie's preschool!
We had SO much fun with her little class and friends. There are some sweet kiddos with some sweet mamas! Everyone got to play for a little while before we started our morning. (not a clue what addie was doing in that 2nd picture, but it made me laugh!)
and ducky races!
Of course Addie immediately gravitated to the animals, and she got to feed one of the baby goats a bottle of water...with a little help (which made it almost impossible to photograph!):
she and her sweet friend loved looking at the various birds: chickens, turkey, ducks, etc.
everyone crowded around to watch the pig races. those pigs were not pleased about being picked up, but they sure did love racing to their food!
we then headed to the pumpkin patch on a hayride pulled by a tractor
addie picked the tiniest perfect pumpkin that's still decorating the table in our foyer.
after the pumpkin patch, we headed to the corn boxes.
where Addie got to throw corn just once for me to get a picture (because no one else was in there with her yet)!
and some of you might remember this picture from facebook...riding the cow train (and attempting to hold on!) and having a blast! I can still hear her laughing and screaming with delight!
and last but not least, we headed to the blow up slides and mazes
Addie and I decided on the way home that we had to bring her baby sisters back in the next weekend or so...and we did with Grandpa and Ms. Gail! Post to come!

Lathered Up
Addie loves doing "projects." Many {most} of them center around letters and sounds and now words. We've just started tapping into adding to and taking away because it finally makes sense to her...at least if we dont add more than 5 to more than 5 because she's all about counting on her fingers!
I remember letting my students who needed an alternative way to practice letters or spelling do it in shaving cream. anything tactile. anything besides writing on paper!
so we pulled out daddy's shaving cream the other day.
believe it or not, she was a little hesitant at first.
but it took no time at all for her to really get into it!
and after making a few O's and circles, we got to actually writing something...
her name of course!
and i'm pretty sure she enjoyed it!
a little added bonus: Days-of-the-Week. Paul reminded me that as ingrained as this tune is in us, she's never heard this tune before. but it sure made us smile!

how is that these little girls...
...have turned into this...
...a mere 18 months later.
Anne Perry and Audrey Kathryn, you have made the last 18 months richer by the day. We love you little girls and are so thankful that God has given you to us!
(thank you for these beautiful memories Allison!)

Fox on the Run
or just laying in our neighbor's driveway after he'd visited our front steps
the animal control officer wasn't too keen on catching it bc it was still so alert.
alert but clearly sick enough to lay still
distemper or rabies
poor little guy...
i'm afraid there wont be any relocating this fox. they were talking about sending him to the state for testing since they suspected early signs of rabies.
After it was secured, we brought Addie out to take a peak at it. She was certain they would be giving it medicine to make it better. It's not every day you see a fox in your front yard!
disclaimer: not to worry, i wasn't being careless to grab these pictures. i was 2 {front} yards aways using a 300mm zoom lens. ;)
Just an average Sunday afternoon.
