at the beginning of the month keagan had her first preschool fieldtrip.  we went to the pumpkin patch.

it was a lot of fun, and nice to spend that time with just keagan.  easton was playing with a friend and then walked to school with him.

Hee Haw's part 1

We went to Hee Haw Farms with our friends this past week. It was the first time I have taken the kids there and it was fun, perfect for little kids. We got there right when it opened and so there wasn't a crowd either.

There was a blow up haunted house that Easton loved and wanted to do over and over. It was so funny, he would act brave and then once we were inside, he would clutch my hand so tight and make me walk in front, but he still wanted to do it again after we were done.

We did this big slide a few times. Easton loved it and kept running up the hill and going by himself.

The animal part was fun, unless you are Keagan. She clutched my leg the whole time and anytime an animal came close to her she would whimper. She is not an animal person, unless the animal is far away.

Easton, however, loved the animal part and held a rabbit, fed a goat and a pig and pet any animal that he could.

There was also a trick-or-treat hayride that we did, a pony ride that Easton did, a corn box (sandbox, but with corn kernels), and a corn cannon.

the pony ride

The corn cannon, this was by far Easton's favorite part--and the haunted blow-up house.

He shot the corn over and over and over.

preschool soccer

our first soccer game was last night. it went really well. the kids on the team got so excited any time Parker would tell them good job or give them a high five. Easton did good, but got a little tired towards the end, he has been sick the past week. as we were driving home he said to me, "Mom, are you just so proud of me?" and yes, I was.

he's got his 'fight face' on. watch out.

one of the funniest things happened after the game was over. I did snacks for this week and was handing them out to our team when a little boy from the opposing team came up and asked for one. I told him he wasn't on our team and I didn't know it I had enough. he walked away, switched his shirt to the white side (they are reversible) and came back and said, "I am white now, can I have a treat?" so, yes, I had to give him one just for his creativity.

fall soccer

I signed Easton up for fall soccer a few months ago and his first game is tomorrow. I am kind of frustrated with the city's recs and parks department. His team didn't have a coach---until Parker called them today and volunteered. Shouldn't they be on top of that with the first game being tomorrow? And then when I went to get the coaches packet, they couldn't find the jerseys. Sigh.
He knows nothing about coaching four and five year olds, so it should be interesting. I hope Easton has fun, that is all that I care about.
I will post about the first "scramble ball" game tomorrow. :)
