Pumpkin Patch

We've decided that we'll head to Rice Lake at least once per year--in Sept/Oct to visit the pumpkin patch. It was quite an adventure this year--"boots" on Gavin and all.

Walking through the corn maze--Gavin didn't make it too far, but had fun initially.



The "boots" haven't slowed Gavin down one bit. He climbed up and down these stairs all by himself at least twice.

There is a petting zoo at the pumpkin patch.
Feeding the goats was lots of fun.

Bunny rabbits! Reily calls all animals bunnies, so it was nice that he got it right this time!

Idiopathic Toe Walker

Well, Gavin refused to quit walking on his toes. This afternoon he got a cast on each leg. It is an attempt to correct the constant toe walking. We'll see how it goes. He'll be wearing these lovely blue boots for three weeks.
As you can see, it hasn't slowed him down one bit. He climbed up on the counter all by himself!

MOPS

We had our first MOPS (Mothers of Preschoolers) meeting of the year today. I am the coordinator of our area MOPS group. This is only our second year and we had 38 moms at our first meeting. It was a very exciting morning.

Karena helped out in the nursery. There were more kids than moms. It was a busy morning.

First Day of School

Gavin had a VERY big day today. He had his first day at preschool (at the church where I work) AND he pooped on the potty (hopefully he keeps that up--cross your fingers for us).
Breakfast out before school. Of course, he also got lunch at McDonald's for the toilet accomplishment. It's been a good day in Gavin's world. Right now, he's sucking down a huge lollipop that was promised to him for pooping on the potty many months ago...
Gavin's cubby.
Playing with new friends and the teacher. He did great!

Gavin's Artwork

Gavin's still into taking photos. I didn't think this one was too bad.

Outdoor Fun

Lately, we've been letting the boys play in the garage without us--mostly because we don't want to hear the screaming that happens when we force them inside. Yesterday, they got into the backyard and had all kinds of fun for the 30 seconds they went unmonitored.

Fun's over...kind of.
