Gone Fishing!

Last Saturday we had the chance to go fishing with the Bowens, we were so excited because they actually have poles and bait...whereas we have nothing to actually fish with. Kohl was delighted to catch his first fish ever...he has been distraught since this summer when we went fishing and Brynn caught a fish and he didn't. The pond is a "catch and release", just my kind of fishing...I don't have to actually deal with the fish the kids catch. After a bit it got to be way more fun to just throw rocks and sticks into the pond rather than actually fishing! Thanks Bowens for a great outing.

Pumpkin Patch Fun!

Tis the season of pumpkin hunting, costume preparing, candy eating, and just plain fun. We have had a beautiful fall here with warm, sunny days. I got to go with Brynn on her first fieldtrip to a pumpkin patch/farm. It got to be a bit long and we were all exhausted by the end of the day, but fun was had and that is all that matters. Kohl got to go to the zoo with his class the following day, but I didn't get to chaperon that event. He said he had a great time with his friends and loved trying to find his principal's favorite animal. We have had a lot of fun this month with soccer, birthday parties, trips to the park, and getting ready for Halloween.

Brynn's New Earrings

Brynn has been waiting for a year to get her ears pierced and Mom finally gave in and let her get them done. She was so brave and no tears were shed....until she realized she had to get it in both ears! She has experienced some clausterphobia with the fact that she has to wait for 6 weeks before being able to take them out... but other than that they have been a fun addition to her life. We did experience some drama during the process as I lost Chase and had to call the mall security to track him down. Luckily, he had just ran to the play yard and was completely happy playing while his mom was having a heart attack!
