Muddy boots and Giant Pumpkins

This weekend, we took advantage of a mini-break in the rain for our annual pumpkin patch trek.  Surprisingly, this was also the first year Kyle braved the event without a meltdown.  She had a blast on the cow train and hitting targets with the apple canyon.  Jack enjoyed the sights and hay ride.  Not much time was spent picking pumpkins, but great fun was had splashing in puddles and getting muddy. 

 

Best moment was Kyle asking for a snack and getting the response she had to find her pumpkin first.  Kyle grabbed the first small pumpkin she could find, handed it to mom, and then ran as quickly as she could for popcorn. 

 

 

May it ALWAYS be like this

Right now, Kyle is Jack's most favorite person.  He lights up when he sees hear.  Each morning, she loves to go into his room and peek over the crib the minute we hear him stir.  She gets him toys, bottles, and anything else he might need (while also maintaining ownership of what she wants).  Kyle was suited to be a big brother, and baby Jack has been lucky enough to fulfill that little brother role. 

I suspect there will be days where they will irritate each other, but in the long run, I hope their love is always as great as this!

 

Little Fish

Kyle completed her first round of swimming lessons.  Based on her reactions and intense need for thrills, they have been a success.

Yes, this is Miss Kyle going down a two-story water slide all by herself.

Dancing Skeletons

A great thing about siblings - matching pajamas that glow in the dark.

Johnny Appleseed

With the recent visit of Grammi and Grampi, we decided to do the tourist thing and pick some apples.  Kyle had a blast, and the apple orchard was pretty amazing.  Who does not love tasty and healthy snacks?  Now if Mommy can only figure out to bake an apple pie.
