The Wren Way of Life: October 2008

Anna and Mommy

Wow....a picture with Mommy, Or "Mom" as she calls me now. When did that happen? I really liked being called Mommy and Mama....I'm going to miss that :0( She's growing up too quick! I can see why people have more than one child, but whew....I don't think I have what it takes to raise more than one at a time. I will just cherish every little minute with her....well maybe not every minute....tee hee, but most for sure! :0)

Dad and Anna

Happy Day! We have been able to grab daddy twice in one week for some family time! We went down to Finch Arboretum to collect our leaves....we almost ran out of daylight.

The leaf book

Need you ask?....of course this was made with my Stampin' Up! products. Isn't it cute!?

Collecting leaves

Anna is pretty proud of her leaf book. The other day she asked if I would make her a leaf collecting book. Well, duh.....ask me to make something and I'm all over it! She was so cute when she asked.

Taking Daddy to Greenbluff

Anna and I thought we would try going to Greenbluff one more time....after a not-so-fun trip last week. This time we took our secret weapon....DADDY!, and made sure we went first thing in the morning while Anna was nice and refreshed. We picked out a couple BIG pumpkins this time and Anna got to take a nice ride in the pumpkin-cart. The weather was amazing and it was great to spend some time as a family.

Punkin Chunkin!

This is the pumpkin launcher at Knapp's at Greenbluff. If you look closely you can see the pumpkin at the edge of the hay that was launched out of the cannon. I was surprised I actually captured a picture, because I had a hard time finding the pumpkin while looking in the camera.

Look at her go!

It was hard to keep up with her to get a picture, but AHA!....I got one! She loved running through the hay maze at Knapp's at Greenbluff this weekend.

Greenbluff

Could not have picked a better day for finding a pumpkin.....weather-wise that is. Anna's mood on the other hand was a different story.....boy was she owly! This was one of few pictures where she wasn't pouting or all out throwing a fit. All was not lost though....we did find some good pumpkins, she got to ride in the wheelbarrow and managed to get dirt all over her. All in all a successful trip to Greenbluff! We went to Knapp's this year (on the west loop) and thought it was GREAT place! I want to do back when Anna is more pleasant. :0)
