The Pumpkin Patch and More

Some Evanisms this week: Evan found one of Drew's tiny pastina stars on the floor the other day after Drew had eaten dinner. Evan called me over exclaiming, "Look Mommy look! Little star, little star!" (As in Twinkle Twinkle Little Star.)

Evan's latest joke is to pull his hand up into his sleeve and ask "Where hand go?" then laugh hysterically.

We were stuck in traffic the other day and Evan said "We go slow." So I tried to reenforce some proper grammar and I said "Yes, we are stuck in traffic and we are going slowly. As the traffic subsided and we started to accelerate Evan said "We go fastly."

The highlight of our week this week was a trip to Garnyard Farm's Pumpkin Patch with our play group. It was a lot of fun and warm today, unlike last year.

First up this week we enjoyed the weather by getting out of the house a bit for walks.

Both eating their favorite dinners. Drew had a home made chicken and veggie concoction and Evan had toast with jelly, hot dog, and applesauce.

Playing. They are doing more and more of this. Evan is also beginning to show responsibility towards Drew. He will remind me to get Drew out of the van and also put him in the van when we are going places. (As if we have forgotten him before!) Actually once I left Drew with James in the morning while I took Evan to preschool and Evan was upset that Drew wasn't with us.

Park fun. I will hold Drew's hand and back and slide him down the slide. He loves it and turns around to try to climb up for more.

The pumpkin patch. Evan was pointing at Lori and smiling.

On the hay ride. He was a little apprehensive to get on at first, but once he was on he had a great time "riding on tractor."

Evan ran up and picked his pumpkin right away. This was the one!

A couple unsuccessful attempts to get a good picture of Drew sitting beside a pumpkin. We gave up. In the second photo he is making a face at God knows what he put in his mouth.

The drought has taken a toll on the plant life here, crops, lawns, everything. This is the corn "maze" but it was a pretty sad sight this year.
