Winter already?!?

I don't even know what to say except....UGH!!! We currently have over two feet of snow, single digit temps, and one cranky mama!!








Pumpkin Patch

The 2nd grade class has a running tradition of the pumpkin patch. It's a small plot of land a few blocks from the school that the owners have agreed to let the kids use. Every year the class harvests all of the pumpkins and then sells them at the local fall festival. Then later this year, they will go and plant more pumpkin seeds for next years class.










Fall Festival

Last weekend Cody had their Fall Fest. It was a fun morning. They had a few games for the kids, some local businesses had booths set up, and of course some locally grown produce. This all was set up in the corner of the Albertsons parking lot. Gotta love small towns!

The 2nd graders always sell the pumpkins from their pumpkin patch. Dustin is quite the pumpkin peddler :) One of their jobs was to help carry pumpkins to the cars. Overall a good experience for the kids.
4H had their miniature horses there and Riley was in heaven. They even let her in the pen to help brush. She informed me that she wants to be a part of that club! Although she has to wait until she 8!!


They also had a climbing wall set up and tater wanted to give it a try.




Coming down was his favorite part.
