Thank You Secret Chick!

At work we've been gifting each other secretly and no one is supposed to know who has who. But as always with a bunch of fun girls like our group it's hard to keep a secret and most of us are already sure of who we've been getting fun stuff from. Anyway, I received the coolest treasure hunt type of clues and they led me on a hunt all over the store. The first time I got a cute shamrock plant, and I'm proud to say it's still alive. I love the little white flowers on it... The second time my secret chick led me on a merry chase around the store again and I got a bag full of fun for Gracie and me. In it where the coolest shades and some awesome bubbles. Grace has been anxiously awaiting some nice weather to use them outside.

Just had to post this photo...as you can see the shades have been put to good use already.


Thanks again!

Second Visit to the Pumpkin Patch!

Well, since Grace's Cousins (well, they are actually the kids of Martin's Cousin Mark! So does that make them Gracie's 2nd cousins????)came over for a visit last weekend we decided to take another trip to the pumpkin patch. This time we went to McPhail's Berry Farm out in Lynden. It was a little bit colder and definitely wetter than our first time, but the three kids had fun nonetheless. Aaron, Grace and Landon got to ride the train and had a blast doing so. I tried to get them all to pose out the windows of the wagon, but no such luck. This was the best photo...

We took a bumpy ride out to the patch and since we couldn't really leave without some pumpkins each of the kids got to pick one to take home. Aaron found a really cute little pumpkin, Grace got a medium one, and Landon decided to wait till we got back to the farm and pick one out from the wagon. Smart kid, the ones we carried back from the patch were pretty muddy. YUCK!

As we were leaving the farm I decided to get Gracie to pose by the sign with her pumpkin. she wasn't really interested in that so a little bribing was involved. In order for me to take her picture she got to take some of mommy posing. So here are the results. Not bad for a 2 1/2 year old. What do you think?
