If you don't know these boys' fathers, you won't be as amused by this picture as I am. But if we could see a picture of Jeff and Brandon together as babies, this would be it! Logan came over last week to show off his new 'do. Looking pretty sharp, I think.

Today was the kindergarten field trip to the pumpkin patch. It was a tiny bit chilly, but otherwise perfect weather. I loved putting on a sweatshirt this morning!
Bailey spent the first part of the morning going through the hay maze, playing with corn and wheat in troughs, and going through a fun barn filled with all kinds of activities. Then we got to go on a hay ride out to the pumpkin patch and commence with the search for the perfect pumpkin.
The children were told to look for the yellow flowers that first bloom on the vine in the pumpkin infancy stage. Then they found the green pumpkins that still weren't ripe. They weren't supposed to pick anything off of a vine, but just look. Some of them had a hard time remembering that part.
Here's Bailey and RileyGrace on their quest. RG found one relatively quickly. Bailey made sure she looked at each and every one. When she found the perfect pumpkin, she named it Starly. She wanted to keep it the rest of the day, and was pretty upset when her teacher suggested the moms take them home for safe-keeping. She demanded that I promise not to forget to feed Starly lunch. Obviously, the child needs a pet.

This was Bailey's last day at public school. Bradley's class also took a road trip to see the downtown public library's rendition of Midsummer Night's Dream. How fun that they both got to go on field trips today.

Now we embark on our next chapter. I'm so thrilled that moments like this one won't be the exception anymore. :)
