Pumpkin Hunting and a Maze

October 21, 2009 by Shanan

J and grandma and I did the usual fall activity, we went to the pumpkin patch.  This one was perfect for J, everything seems to be available in miniature.

There was the kid’s pumpkin patch where J found a pumpkin just his size.

And the corn maze was smaller, very manageable for his shorty legs.  He actually ended up loving the corn maze, we went through it twice, him leading the entire time.

There were larger pumpkins there of course, and J’s favorite activity was to give them a little drumming.

We had a great time.  In fact, it was so successful we are scheduling another visit to a pumpkin patch this weekend!  Maybe I’ll remember my real camera this time…

I’m a Bingo Loser

October 17, 2009 by Shanan

Joined my sister and her roommate for Bingo last night.  It was quite the experience.  There are many things I didn’t know about the game.  I feel so informed now.

The board I pictured was there, but there were also electronic bingo card things too.  (Think touch screen.)  Apparently that is so a person has double the bingo cards playing at once.  I call it cheating.

I, along with my player partners, did not get the trill of yelling “BINGO!”  This picture of my cards after someone yelled bingo gives you a good idea of how close I NEVER was.

Oh well, we had a good time.  (And parmesan goldfish too, those things are dangerously addictive!)

Hairdo

Now included with the cost of daycare: fabulous hair!  Dropped him off this morning with normal, somewhat boring hair.  Picked him up this afternoon with this very stylish ‘do.  I do love the perks!

Yogurt Popsicle

September 9, 2009 by Shanan

I put some yogurt in a popsicle mold and put them in the freezer.  Just boring strawberry yogurt, nothing fancy.  But it was so good!  They made me feel like I was eating dessert when really I was having some healthy yogurt.  Jaxon agrees that it is a good way to enjoy some calcium.

You know you want one…

I followed the pattern given here and successfully turned a couple of these into something like what you might have seen on TV.

You know you are jealous.  I am going to be so warm this winter.  My feet too, it has a foot pocket!

Anyone else want one?  :)

At the Zoo

Earlier this week, Aunt Lyndsay played hookie with J and I and went to the zoo.

I think Aunt Lyndsay enjoyed the monkey.

I enjoyed watching Aunt Lyndsay amuse Jaxon while I sat around.

Oh, and of course there were animals.
