The weather has been cooler and I have felt better so we have been out and about! Last week we went with Emily and Abbie to the Zoo. Natalie loves holding Abbie's hand. I would have to say that Emily and Abbie are her best friends, she asks about them and talks about them all the time. It is really cute and funny.
Natalie loves to mimic everything we do and really loves it when she gets to help. One of her favorite things to help with is the vacuuming. She does a great job and does it with such enthusiasm!
Mom stopped by the other day and Natalie and I were making dinner and I got this great shot of the two of them. Again, Natalie helping out!
Carrie bought Emily an inflatable pool and filled it with balls, and got Natalie one too. It was so nice of her and the girls just love them. Natalie's is a turtle and Emmie's is a giraffe. This evening Natalie insisted that Carrie and Emmie join her in the pit.
With all the crud that is already going around, our family is addicted to hand sanitizer. Natalie of course loves to use it. She got the bottle off of Jeff's dresser and was playing with it in the bed.
I love this photo of Natalie, she is laughing and talking at the same time...I see this look a lot.
This Saturday we went to a pumpkin patch her in town. The weather was beautiful and we had a great time. Here we are measuring Natalie up!
This was just a great spot for a photo. Pictured are Carrie, Natalie, Emily, Abbie, Me and Emily.
I love these cut out things. Here is Abbie, Natalie and Me.
There were these two slides that you rode a sled down and through the small hill. I thought it looked like a great time, but Jeff didn't think it would be a good idea for me to go. So, Jeff took Natalie down and she had a great time. She tried to tell us that she wanted to try it by herself...maybe next year...
After the "sledding" the kids got to climb up hay bales, crawl across them and slide down a slide. They all thought it was great fun.
So after the slide we took the kids jumping on the pumpkin pillow. Natalie had a ton of fun, so we had to go back later and do it some more!
Of course we had to get in a little swinging...this was the first time that Natalie had ever been on this kind of swing.
Finally we made our way to the pumpkin patch. We took a hay ride out there and Natalie was sitting on my lap. She started to squirm so I stood her up next to me. I was thinking about that time that the pumpkins smelled terrible! Oh well, I smell everything these days!! But then I noticed that Natalie and I both had wet pants, and for some reason my hand was damp. Oh no!! Number 2 had leaked!! What do you do on a hay rack ride? Let it ride!
Jeff and Natalie found the perfect pumpkin. This is Jeff teaching her that the stems are sharp.
Here everyone is out in the patch. Emily and Abbie, Eric, Carrie and Joe and Emily.
So, when I thought it couldn't get worse, Natalie lost her balance in the patch and fell right on to a rotting pumpkin. Mmmm.....it was funny when she landed on it it just deflated more and made this hilarious sound. Jeff said that she now smelled like rotting poo. Gross.
The girls in the patch. Emily, Abbie and Natalie.
Natalie and Jeff with their pumpkins. They do look good on our front porch.
After the picking Jeff paid for them and Natalie and I headed straight for the car to deal with rotting poo! All in all it was a great day, but I am ready to call it a night!
