The Witches at Gardner Village

Every year I look forward to visiting the Witches at Gardner Village. Since it was such a beautiful fall day, I took the boys there today. The whole place is decorated so cute with all the fall and halloween witches, the boys had fun trying to find where they all were hiding, Logan kept saying we were going on a witch hunt. Following tradition, we ended our visit by going to the delicious bakery for a cookie and doughnut, yummy!

Cowabunga Bay

We decided to enjoy the last part of summer this Labor Day by spending some time at the water park Cowabunga Bay. We had watched it being built last spring, and I had been wanting to take the boys there all summer long, but something always seemed to come up. The boys had a blast sliding on all the slides, swimming in the pool, and floating around the lazy river. What a fun place for kids to go and have fun and cool off in the summer~we will definitely go back again next year! Thanks Jen and Scott for the "passes";)

"Fund Run" at school

Logan's school put on a "fund run" today, which is a way for kids to gather donations for assemblies and field trips by running laps around a track. They ran for twenty minutes, and Logan ran 19 laps-and I didn't hear him complain once! In fact, it looked like he was having a blast! What a fun way for the kids to spend a day at school~way to go!

Sawyer's "big boy" bed

Sawyer is such a big boy! I have been looking for a big boy bed for Sawyer to transition him from his crib, and found the perfect one. Unlike Logan who would jump out of his crib before he turned two, Sawyer had no desire to give his up. My intention was to set up his new bed while keeping him in his crib until he was ready to move, but last night as were we going to bed he climbed up into his new bed. I read him some books, gave him his water, puppies, snuggles and blankets and he was ready to go to sleep. He looked so small in his new big bed, I placed pillows all around so he wouldn't fall out. I kept thinking he would climb out of bed to come find me, as Logan did for months, but I never heard a sound all night long. I checked on him in the morning and sure enough he was sound asleep in the same spot I had left him. What happened to my babies? No matter how hard I try to keep both my boys from growing up, they are changing daily and I am so proud of them!
