Go Seminoles!

Today it ws beautiful and sunny but there were strong winds - 40 miles and hour - and it was in the 40's. We stayed in a watched some football. We aren't able to watch the Seminole games on TV but we do get to watch some football. Whether they win or lose - I'm still a Nole fan.

everyday fun

Who knew boxes could be so much fun! This box has been a constant plaything this week.

I know it looks like I ate an oreo - but no, this is dirt I ate in the backyard today. I had a great time playing outside and even enjoyed the dirt.

We went for a walk in the neighborhood and found a backhoe/bulldozer - I really like construction trucks and I got to get inside this one. It was so much fun and mama and daddy enjoyed the free entertainment.

Ready for the snow!

Snow is here all ready - ok, there have only been flurries but this morning it was 31 degrees and today with the wind chill it is in the 20's. I borrowed this hat from a friend so that I can practice my fierce "you can't get me down Mr. Winter" look - I think I need some more practice.

It's a good thing I can survive inside. Being outside is my FAVORITE place to be but the one good thing about being inside is books. Mama and Daddy read to me in the morning and before nap and before bed and throughout the day when I bring them a book AND when I get really quiet throughout the day mama comes looking for me and more often than not she finds me looking at books. My favorite books have trucks or animals (when I see a cow I say MMMMM). I also like books with other children in them. My favorite stories to listen to are nursery rhyms. Here are some times mama caught me reading -

Morning Milk

Before my morning milk...
After my morning milk...

Curious, Curious Sam

Hmmm... now that I've taken everything out - can I get in here?

Yep, a perfect fit...how far can I go?

I like to explore .. I wonder what other tiny places I can fit into?

Pumpkin Patch Part One

After church today we went to a pumpkin patch near our house with our friends the Smoldt's.

We road behind this tractor in a wagon full of hay to get to the pumpkin patch... When we got there mama and daddy said we could pick out pumpkins - here I am with my game face "watch out pumpkins - here I come!!!!"

I really liked this one - I gave it a hug. There were several more I really liked but we could only take two.

"Hey mama and daddy I think there are some more over here!"

Pumpkin Patch Part Two

Daddy helped my find just the right pumpkin..

After we got back to the barns we saw more pumpkins and played on them - they were more my size and I could sit on them.
This is my mama and my new little baby brother or sister (the baby is too small to see right now but the baby is almost 4 months old!)

Mama packed PBJ sandwiches for her and daddy and I got to eat a cheese sandwich and grapes - yummy!
There were animals I got to see - cows, ducks, sheep, goats, a donkey and a llama (he looked silly).
