Together we have it all!

I promise, I haven't fallen off the planet, it just feels like it - my house also looks like it! Looking for a house is a long and tiring process. This week has been spent driving around most afternoons after the kids get on the bus, looking for houses that are for sale. While I am excited that we are in this phase of our life, I will be glad when we pick a home so I can return to my normal duties of mother, housekeeper, cook, laundress, etc. It seems I only get dishes in the dishwasher is when I have no more bottles for my son.

Other things I've been up to are field trips. I went to 2 different pumpkin patches, 2 different Fridays. I forgot my camera for Makayla's field trip, but we had a blast! We went to a pumpkin patch down in Orem (Pumpkinland, I think). They had a corn maze, some animals, playgrounds, and s light alley (like a spook alley, just not scary). I haven't been on a school bus for quite some time. I forgot just how noisy they can be.

I also went with Clara to Hee Haw farms. They had some animals there, Clara got got to pet a bunny and a cow. They had a corn maze there also, but in the middle of the maze, there is a giant slide (probably 6-8 hay bales high). Clara and Holden absolutely loved it!
One of Clara's favorite things there was the bin of corn. She got to get into the bin and play with all that corn. Just like her bean table, but on a much bigger scale.

They had a tractor pulling a trailer that we got to ride in. Finally, we got to go and pick out a pumpkin. Makayla was excited that we actually have pumpkins before Halloween, and I was excited that I didn't have to buy them.
I love field trips, but there is a thing as too much, and lucky me gets to go on another one next week with Clara's class again. This time they are going to the Bean Museum at BYU. Not to confuse you, it is named after someone with the last name Bean, but it is a museum of dead animals. (I was going to say stuffed, but then again that would lead you to believe it is toy animals.)
