Pumpkin Patch Field Trip

So Lindsay had her very first school field trip today! She did the Aurora pumpkin patch! I cannot believe she is old enough for this b/c I remember Colby's 2 fieldtrips there so well! Anyway ofcourse I signed up to be a chaperone. I dropped her off and went to visit my parents since the field trip began at 10. Sadly I think this will be her only preschool pumpkin patch field trip b/c they do it every other year. Colby got one at 2 and 4.
When I arrived she was so excited to see me. Her class was lining up and we walked out to the patch. The kids sat down on the sidewalk to wait for all the other classes to get in line then the lady who is in charge of the children's ministry at the church talked to them about the pumpkin patch. Afterwards they were allowed to walk around and play for a little while. She loved this part. She just ran through the pumpkins and would stop and look at them every now and then. Her class is 8 girls so they were all so adorable. Especially she and Stella though who always wear the little smocked outfits. Lindsay was able to wear her pumpkin dress from the last 2 years. It fit as a top this year. Its a 9 month dress and has lasted us from 10 months now through 2 1/2 years. I really think we might be able to squeeze her in it one more time next year =)
Next they gathered all the kids under a blanket to read a few fall stories. Lindsay got a little antsy during this time. She kept saying she wanted juice. After the storytime they took a class picture then went to make a craft. She seemed to really enjoy the craft time. She loves her some arts and crafts! I also got to visit with Stella's mom during this time. Its so funny b/c they all thought Stella and Lindsay were cousins b/c they were dressed sorta alike. After the craft they got apple cider and powdered donuts. Ofcourse she loved this too! Once the field trip was over and the class went back Lindsay and I picked out our pumpkins. Usually Colby would have wanted to stay the whole day but I figured Lindsay would 1) want to leave with me 2) I wanted to get home early so we would have time to eat lunch and hang out before picking Colby up that afternoon!
That evening we also had Chickfila night for Calvary. This was the first one of the year. I was sorta dreading going b/c I thought it would mean 3 straight nights of us being gone. I knew we should go though and I knew Colby would BEG to go! It ended up going well. We got there at 5 and left by 6 so I think we missed most of the chaos.
Lifegroup got cancelled for Tuesday and I skipped Bible study in order to grocery shop so thankful we had a sort of rest day in there!
Many things still to look forward to: Church, haircut, b-day party, and family day at Lindsay's school! Fall is just so busy but fun!
