Pumpkin Patch

This morning, Ben and I visited Kurtz Farm along with some other moms (and kiddos) from my church Mom2Mom group. We got to go to "Pumpkin School" and learn about how pumpkins grow and see several different kinds. Then, we got to take a hayride out to the pumpkin patch. All of the kids got to pick out one pumpkin to take home. We had such a fun time!

 The teacher showed some different pictures in her pumpkin book. My camera was slow and only caught her with the book in front of her face.
 Ben, being a good boy at "Pumpkin School." We all sat in rows on bales of hay.
 These are a couple of the moms in my group, Leah and Kelsey.
 Ben found a little bumpy pumpkin right away and said, "It's my FAVORITE!" I tried to show him some other cute ones, but he could not be swayed.

This is the tractor and wagon that we rode on to get out to the pumpkin patch.

Enjoying December

I'm glad we had time to make sugar cookies together. Christmastime does not seem complete without them. I frosted the cookies while Ben and Curt decorated.  Lots of sprinkles and chocolate chips!  Ben loved getting slippers and a robe with his "Christmas Eve" jammies. He does love to be cozy. We decided to move up our present opening a day early because we thought I might end up in the hospital on Christmas. But, today is the 27th and still no baby. So we were a bit off on that one.  Santa brought the Lewis Hamilton car that Ben had asked him for. He was very excited!  The new pirate ship has been a favorite. He has played with it a TON a last few days.  Ben also got a few more pirate dress-up things. I've heard "Aarg!" a lot lately. :)  My parents came yesterday for a visit since my dad has this week off of work. We're hoping that I'll have the baby while they are here, but I'm not sure that is going to happen since they head home tomorrow. Ben ...

The Big 3-0!

Today I turned 30 years old. I didn't think that it would make me feel old, but it kinda does. :) I had a wonderful birthday. Curt went out and got us donuts for breakfast. Then, I got to open my presents. He did a great job shopping and I love everything he picked out! For lunch we went out to Olive Garden and then stopped by the mall for a little while. We spent the rest of the afternoon relaxing at home. I hope this getting older doesn't mean that gray hairs are going to start showing up! While I got ready this morning, Curt got out his old car track. He hasn't used it in many years, so he wasn't sure if it would work. Ben loved watching the cars race around the track. We enjoyed eating lunch at Olive Garden. Ben was too interested in coloring to look up at the camera. I love cheesecake for my birthday and Curt made this one for me all by himself. It is a chocolate chip recipe that is one of my favorites. He only added one candle per decade...we didn't ...
