Howell's Pumpkin patch

We went to Howell’s pumpkin patch on Sunday and the boys had so much fun.  They got to feed the goats, ride pony’s, go down slides, play in the corn pit, ride wiggle cars, climb hay bales and pick out pumpkins.   We didn’t have a ton of time since we had to get back in time for naps and an afternoon of soccer and football so we didn’t end up riding out to the field this year to pick out a pumpkin.  Instead we just found the perfect ones from the bins which the boys were fine with.  The weather was amazing and Ainsley did a great job riding along in the stroller and slept through half of it.  The only downfalls my butt got completely soaked and covered in mud when i took Lincoln down the cow slide.  Pretty sure i cleaned it out for everyone lol and the big boys got a special treat of popcorn and root beer which they loved but the bees also really loved it so it was a little hard to find a spot to eat our snack away from the little critters. 

 

When we got home we discovered that our butterfly had hatched!  Ryan’s mom gave us the caterpillar once it had built its chrysalis and I was a little skeptical that it would work.  Wyatt discovered that the butterfly had hatched and it was so cool to watch it test its wings and then we took it outside and opened the lid and it stretched its legs and flapped its wings a couple of times and then just flew off.  A very cool experience and so crazy how the whole thing works.

Lego Creativity Tour

Ryan's parents took the older two boys to the big Lego Creativity Tour downtown on Saturday morning.  They had so much fun and were in heaven!!

While the big boys were away we used the morning to clean out and organize the garage.  It looks so much better and isn't a huge cluttered mess now.  We had two of the sweetest little helpers and it was fun to get to spend some one on one time with Lincoln.

Ainsley - 3 months

Seriously how is this girl 3 months old already!  I feel like I just wrote up her 2 month post.  She is growing way too fast!  Last week was my first week back at work and her first week at grandma’s.  Work was super rough but thankfully she did great at grandma’s which made the week easier on me and it was nice to have a nice long weekend after my first week back.  Ainsley continues to be such a happy, sweet baby.  She is definitely more alert now looking all around her and loves trying to kick at toys when she’s under her play mat and she’s started blowing bubbles and grabbing more with her hands.  She continues to be a great sleeper and has started sleeping more in her cradle.  She’s still being swaddled although she’s starting to bust out more and more so we’ll see how long that lasts.  It always seems like right about now is when all the sleep issues arise so I’m hoping if she has any they will be short-lived.  We just love watching all of her changes and are just soaking in every minute that we get to spend with her and her brothers.
