Kindergarten Halloween Bash...

This past week I finally got to join the serious mommy ranks as a "Room Mom"...I know so official! Try not to be jealous. With the Yucky Yuck whipping it's way through the community, it was my only way into X's kindergarten class party, as they had closed the school Halloween festivities to the public due to illness. Anyway, once again I had camera issues (as in, I just forgot to bring it...shh, don't tell the other Room Moms, it could be grounds for dismissal.) So, Blackberry to the rescue. The pictures are fuzzy because all the kiddo schmutz I keep in my purse somehow lands on the camera lens of my phone. Well, as any true kindergartner will tell you, "You get what you get and you don't complain." So, I will follow suit.

Xavier and some buddies

The teacher gave everyone new seating assignments just a few days prior to the party. Xavier seems to really like his new place at Yellow Table.

 

I wonder why!?

...Waiting to take part in the costume parade. Following the parade, there was no time for picture taking as it was time to get down to some serious Room Mom business and sugar these munchkins up!

Growing Pumpkins...

Our many seasons of Bloomsbury Farm...and my ever growing pumpkins!

No School, No Yucky Yuck...Off to the Pumpkin Patch!

All my sickies are feeling much better and with no school yesterday...it was the perfect day to hit our local pumpkin patch!

trying to find our way out of the corn maze...

Jumping pillow time...

Max yelling "Cannon Ball" on his way into the corn box.

We ran into X's "New Friend"...the little girl in the white...they sit together on the bus so he tells me. He tried not to flirt with her as they filled their socks with corn. I know, kids think of weird things to do with the materials they are given. Later they dumped the contents on each other. Whatever...

Xavier trying to make his way around the tractor tire maze...

Max just happy to rub himself all over the dirtiest tire he could find...

Finally off to the pumpkin patch on our tractor ride...

That was the last shot before my camera battery died...one of these days I will remember to charge it. All in all, this city girl had a great day on the farm with my little pumpkins!

Playing in the Leaves...

A couple of pictures from the park...

Sick with the Yucky Yuck!

We have the yucky yuck in our house! We have had a week filled with fevers, coughs, doctor visits, breathing treatments, ER visits, hospital stays, more fevers, coughs, doctor visits, steroids, antibiotics...the list goes on. Right about now you are thinking about washing your hands...not a bad idea my friend! The good news is the boys seem to be getting better and breathing easier everyday.

X spent this past weekend in the hospital. As he started to feel a little better he discovered the bed could go up and down like 400 times...which he thought was just super!

Game Day Iowa...

Our little Hawk fans ready for the game.

Bring Your Daddy to Kinnick Day!

Day Out with Thomas...

We made a day trip to the Scenic Valley Railroad to take our little Thomas fan for a ride with his favorite engine.
