Fall Field Trips

This beautiful month of amazing weather and beautiful fall colors was blessed with fun field trips with both of my girls.  (I didn't get a lot of work in this month because the trips fell on a Tuesday and a Thursday, so naturally, I had to take off of work to be able to go with the girls.) 

First Allison's class went to Oaks Farm.  That is one of my all time favorite fall places, and the field trip on October 4th was a perfect day... cool weather, blue skies and lots of fun.  It was Allison's first field trip in "real" school.  I think her favorite part of the trip was riding the school bus to the farm.

On Thursday, October 16th Lauren's class went to Mayfield  Dairy Farm.  It was another picture perfect fall day for this trip and we had a fun time learning a lot about the farm.

I'm so thankful that I am able to go with the girls on their class field trips.  I can't imagine not being able to do that.  Thanks, sweet hubby, for letting me take those two days off from work to be with our girlies!!!  We sure had some fall fun together.

Another Visit from the Tooth Fairy


It has been a little over a year and a half, but the Tooth Fairy was able to find Lauren again... even at my Mom and Dad's house!  Lauren was so excited to get another tooth out that she let her Daddy try to pull it when it wasn't quite ready to come out.  After an unsuccessful attempt from Daddy a couple of weeks ago, Lauren was a little gun shy about actually pulling this tooth.  It was so loose, I was afraid she was going to swallow it or lose it.  While we were at Mom and Dad's this past weekend, I told Lauren we had to get that tooth out.  Still hesitant to let her Daddy try, she wanted me to pull the tooth!  That's not my thing.  I tried to pull one of her first ones to come out and I couldn't do it.  But I told her I would try.  Right before I got ready to try, she said she wanted to pull it herself.  She put her hand in her mouth got a hold of the tooth and pulled it out with no problems at all.  Way to go Lauren!!  You ROCK!!!  (Thanks for sparing Mommy from pulling it)

Lauren pulls her top tooth!!!


Love the sweet smile
