A Trip to the Pumpkin Patch

WOW! I've been slacking a little on this blog page. I should have looked to see where I left off last week. Any-woodle...We had a wonderfull weekend! (Friday night Mommy & Daddy enjoyed a date night to the movies. We saw Burn After Reading with Brad Pitt & George Clooney. It was a good flick.) Saturday though...OH! Saturday was a blast! In the AM I made a trip to Spring Green to meet up with the girl that had an Exersaucer for me for $10. She emailed me pictures, it looked decent, so, hey, for $10...let's get it! We met in the parking lot at Culver's. When I looked at the exersaucer, I couldnt believe she only wanted $10 for it! It was in GREAT shape and was used by FOUR kids! What a steal! I couldnt wait to get home so I could wash it up (it looked clean, but, you know those germs like to hide!) so Miss E could start playing with it! We went to a couple garage sales on our way back home. I found a few things for Elizabeth for when she's closer to 18 months!
Once we got back home and after I wiped down the saucer, I got E in it to see what she thought! SHE LOVED IT! She had a blast, but only for a few minutes, b/c the poor girl was starving! In the meantime, Jamie had called to let me know he had the afternoon off from work (well, I am sure he could have found SOMETHING TO DO, but, he chose to want to spend the afternoon with us!). We packed the vehicle back up and headed BACK to Spring Green. This trip was to Pecks Farmer's Market. I've never been there before, so I wasnt sure what to expect, but I had just heard it was a neat place to go in the fall with the kids. And sure enough, it was AWESOME! There were pumpkins galore, and there was a petting zoo, horse drawn wagon rides, mini-haunted houses, and of course, the farmer's market! And it was ALL FREE (except the farmer's market!). We donated a few dollars to help feed the animals, but otherwise, everything we did was FREE! The animals were GREAT! Donkeys, Llamas, Goats, Birds, A Pig, Miniature Horses, Deer, An Aligator, and MUCH MUCH MORE! Elizabeth was very good the few hours we spent there. I wasnt sure how she'd do, but she was great! We had her in her stroller part of the time, carried her around the other part. I hate to keep her cooped up in that thing for too long! But most of all, mommy & daddy enjoyed our day much more than we expected!! We found a mini-pumpkin for E to bring home,and then we called it a day! And what a day it was! We had SO MUCH FUN making memories as a family! And the weather cooperated! That was the best part! We were all pooped by the time we got home. What a great day!

Saturday night we didnt do too much. Elizabeth slept most of the evening, which, I was worried she wouldnt sleep that night...but, she did! She woke to get her PM dinner in, and was back to bed by 10pm!
