We took Mommom and Poppy to the Pumpkin Patch at the Botanical Garden. We unknowingly arrived right as they were closing for the afternoon so we didn't have much time but the kids still managed to squeeze in some fun. We went thought the maze onto a hayride, watched them pack up the petting zoo and went on little pony rides. It was a good thing we didn't have too long because it was still very hot outside!
We love Patchy's preschool so much. They had a really fun Fall festival in front of the school. There was tons of craft activities and little games set up. I couldn't believe that Quinn sat still to get her face painted but for that minute or two she was a complete angel!
Ellie had a book parade at school. They were able to pick a favorite character from a book to dress up as for their Halloween Parade. Ellie chose Molly Lou Mellon. Ellie's gymnastics is so neat because they really do a lot to teach the girls a lot about life other than just gymnastics. So they had have this guy come and do lessons with the girls on mental toughness, character building and other things like that. One time over the summer, he talked to Ellie's little group and read the story about Molly Lou Melon and how your attitude can cause a ripple and effect others. She remembered that story and although she knew that nobody would know who Molly Lou Melon was, Ellie insisted that she dress up as her. It was actually a big hit (among the teachers). The kids just liked Ellie's buck teeth.
