For those of you who know me well, you know i am slightly routine and need prediction in my life. Being a stay at home mom more days than a working mom has created the need for structure in my life:) that easily could not be there. SO i am announcing our new "Friday Field Trips". THis week we had our 3rd week of our field trips. Last year Brock went to school on Tues, Thur, Fri, but this year I changed him to Mon and Wed, so we could have Fridays for the three of us. It has been fun and he is SOO exctied about our new thing! The first field trip I took them for breakfast and then started giving clues to where we were going. I am not sure who is having more fun with our outings, me or the kids:) We went to the county fair. Can I just say it was a real mommy heart warming day. THey can both walk together and look at things. THat is just so cool. I will not lye- it was tiring chasing them both around going in different directions the whole morning, but totally priceless and worth every sweat drop! They have a mock farm set up for the kids to see animals, play in deer corn, dig for potatoes, and gather eggs. We were there for 3 hours. Brock did not quite understand the judging area that had the largest pumpkins ect. He went up the the prize winning pumpkin and before I realized it he sat on it. Opps. Thank goodness he did not break it and I had a quick lesson in the fact that these are really special big pumpkins.
2nd friday field trip: Public Library. OH boy. Let me tell you sometimes I wonder if I think plans all the way through. It is fun to watch Brock as he is maturing. He loved sitting down at the computers, reading his own books, putting puzzles together, and playing with the sets of toys at the library. BUt the part I forgot is that Emma loved a different part of the field trip. She somehow thought all the books were for pulling out and throwing on the floor.....row by row by row by row. Again, I need to add every sweat drop I shed, and it was about 3x as much as it was at the fair:), was worth it, but we only stayed an hour on this field trip. Brock and Emma got their own library cards and I was proud we had not late fee from the last card I had (that is a miracle). Brock and Emma got to pick out a bag full of books and one movie that we watched for our Friday Night Movie Night. Fun times.
THis week was our 3rd field trip. It was a busy day and we moved it to Saturday (shhh... don't tell the kids. they didn't know). We took a train ride from Enid to Drummond. We rode in the Wanda Lee. IT was an old dancing and dining car. Emma did not move the entire trip. She was not too sure of the bumpy roads. She did lots of pointing and "ohh" when looking out the window. Brock loved looking out the end of the car at the trees and of course looking for deer along the way. We had a blast and our cousing Sarah got to go with us along with Nana. Daddy was at a volleyball tournament, so I was thankful for the adult helpers! WE hurried home for naps and get all dressed up in our cowboy gear for the 2nd half of our busy day. Uncle Bubba (aka: my brother Jason and Aunt Amelia) host a yearly stick horse rodeo with their church for area kids. Brock has participated since he was 1 and loves going. It was Emmas first year to get to participate. They had a blast. Brock was covered in red dirt from head to toe and actually was brave enough to ride a sheep this year. He was so precious. Little Miss Emma even participated herself in the bronc riding, the barrel racing, and of course the hotdog eating. She loves her food. Here are a few pictures of our exciting times!
