For our first field trip for our combined home preschool, we decided to go to the Oil Ranch, a kid-friendly farm for their learning. It was mid-October and little 3-year old Tyler loved it. He got to go on a hay ride, really milk a cow, take a train ride around the ranch, and ride a horse.
When he milked the cow we saw how much milk comes out in one squirt. It was quite a bit! Tyler got out of the way just in time as the cow let a pattie go on the next two boys and it splattered all over their clothes. That was a close one!
Tyler, of course, loved the "choo-choo train." I thought it was cute that he wanted to wave hello and good-bye everytime the train went by.
Tyler enjoyed clomping around the pasture on "his" horse. As he rounded the corner he put a pretent lasso over his head and said, "Yee-ha Texas, here I come!" It was funny. He likes to lasso stuff at home, too, with the vacuum cord. Maybe he'll be good at steer wrestling someday; or maybe just good at vacuuming.
Tyler's googlie mooglie eyes. He walked around Halloween night saying, "Hulk Smash! " (in a cute-trying-to-be-tough voice.)
Ivan and I are feeling like pumpkins lately, so we went with the costume idea. Kaylee said she didn't want to break her tradition of being a princess every year so she wanted to be "Kaylee, the Snow Princess." (quite unique eh?) Jayden was obsessed with his friend's darth vador costume which became very difficult to run door to door in, so he dropped off the head part of the costume at our home and went as the reformed Vador. Tyler wanted to wear his "muscle costume," the incredible hulk and just munch down candy. It was fun being together and then ending the night at the Johnson's who go all out to make it special for the kiddos. It was a sugar-filled fun day.
Our precious little pumpkin....Ashlyn-o-lantern...who started the Jack thing anyway.
The happy chubby trio. We gained weight this year and loved every minute of it!
