A Corny Day

Today the kids, my Mom and I went to the Crazed Corn Maze. With last year's experience under our belt, and a backpack full of snacks I thought we had a better chance of actually finishing this one. Well we didn't quite finish, we got 5 out of 10 punches. I thought that was a solid finish and I was proud that this time we left the maze the same way that we entered.

About to enter the maze through the barn door.

David being silly as usual.

It was such a beautiful day!

Instead of a sand box, they had a corn box with dried corn kernels. Gillian making a corn angel.

It was a great day in the hot sun. We had motivation to leave since we were headed to Marie Calendars for lunch aka "The Pie Place".

Gillian wondered aloud, "Do you think Martha Stewart and Marie Calendars are friends?" I love hearing their interesting thoughts.

Saints Day

At the kids school they celebrate Saints Day instead of Halloween. The Preschool teacher makes it a big celebration. All the kids pick a Saint and make a crown for their saint. Natalie chose Saint Elizabeth. Instead of the normal snack they have angel food cake and whipped cream. A treat for snack is such a big deal for a 4 year-old.

I love her poses these days!!

Today Natalie was dancing around in her Halloween costume. After a little performance she pulled down her straps and said, "Ladies wear their dresses like this when they are going somewhere fancy."
