snow days

so the first day was fun...the girls loved playing in the snow and making snow cream.  they snuggled by the fire and watched tv.  played the wii and with each other.  watched movies and made cookies.  hooray!

today...not so much.

these are the times that i miss the sticky suffocating heat of south florida...

wow

just...wow

mother's log: stardate saturday, october 30...

we went to a corn maze today!  it was something that we had not done before.  i didn't tell the girls where we were going, i just told them to get in the car (this totally eliminated the usual leaving the house arguments).  so off we went to regal farm.
the maze looked like this:

we chose the harry potter themed hints, grabbed a flag (elise carried it, bless her heart), and went in.

the girls had fun following the maze and looking for the passport markers that helped give us directions.

shortly after this guy (who watches for trouble) there was a motion sensor talking mask in the corn and a guy who was crouched down and hollered "run into me!!".  three little girls were frozen and screaming as loud as only little girls can scream.  i was bent over double, laughing as only a mother can laugh at her children.  elise was jumpy the rest of the maze...

who needs a jack-o-lantern when you've got a lilli :)

woohoo!! we made it :)

that was fun mom!  can we do it again?!  nope...time for the corn cannon!!

elise took the first shot...well, and the last, actually...

 the cow train was as big a hit as the maze...a bit bumpy, though :)

smores on a stick and pumpkins and before we knew it, it was time to go.  thankful for the "find starbucks" app on the phone!  pumpkin spice lattes on the way home :)

Fall Festival

we stopped at the petting zoo first...

one of the guys was wearing a shirt that say "if i don't remember, it didn't happen"

dunno what this is, exactly, but lilli thought it was pretty cool.

kaely was knocking out some volunteer hours 

she cracked up at the cow



elise was watching an ad for a new show on disney channel called "avalon high" or something equally silly and she said "i want to watch that show because it is hysterical".  she continued by talking about how the show is about king arthur and other "hysterical" stuff.

do you mean historical?

oh...yeah
