Now that fall is in the air we've been hitting up the pumpkin patches and taking in the slightly cooler temperatures. I wish I could break out the sweaters and boots but we're not quite there yet! The kiddos have been doing great in school! Now that I've got my designated day to help in Ellie's class I've been having fun seeing what her day is truly like. Jack is a totally different kid at school. He's Mr. Independent and always focused on what he is supposed to be doing. When we had his field trip to the pumpkin patch he was all for doing things on his own even when some of his buddies wanted their moms by their side at all times. I was so proud of my little buddy since he tends to stick close by me at home.

he talks about his field trip. |
Farmer Drake's Pumpkin Patch

| Our first pumpkin patch to visit was a cute little one with friends. |
 |

Jack's last swimming class
 |
| Jack was SO excited for his last lesson. |
 |
| Doing his back float test. |
 |
| Searching for rings is his favorite part! |
 |
He doesn't like to let go of them which would hold him
back from getting as many of some of his classmates. |

| We came to this patch with a moms group. |
 |
| The corn kernels were his favorite part! |
 |
| Wow, check out that spooky ghost! |

Pumpkin painting
 |
I was trying to put those small pumpkins to good use but
Jack insisted on painting the largest pumpkin we have. |
 |
| And he was the first one finished. |
 |
| Ellie took her time and had a story to tell about her pumpkin. |
