Field Day - Sterling

Field Trip - Sterling

Sterling's class took a field trip to a local farm that has lots of activities--animals, corn maze, hayride, and pumpkin patch.

Sterling was a little afraid to feed the goat.  He dropped the feed right on the ground.

It was a busy day for me.  Avery had her Field Day the same afternoon as the field trip, so I had to rush back to the school to watch Avery.  I missed the hayride and other events.  But, Sterling said he had a great time.

Pumpkin Patch

We made our annual trip to the Pumpkin Patch last week.  These were not the pictures I was hoping for--The sun was beating down so there are lots of shadows! 

Which one should we choose?

Avery said this pumpkin looks like a cupcake!

Oh Let's Go Fly a Kite!

It was extra windy this past Saturday. Avery decided to make her own kite. It looked really cute; however, she really needed a longer string to get it flying. But, she and Ian had a great time trying to fly the kite! They somehow figured that if they stood on something (the stone bench), it just might fly!

ALMOST!

Sterling had gone to work with Juan, so he missed out on the fun.  Here are some cute pictures I took from the day.

And, here are a few more from a different day.  Ian thought it would be really cute to sit in the window.  It looked like he was posing for a picture, so I grabbed the camera.  Sterling had to try it, too!

Big Fat Lip

Last Thursday afternoon, Ian walked into my bedroom and fell and hurt his mouth.  He bit through his lip and the front tooth and gum line were also injured.  I'm not really sure how he fell or what actually happened.  There was so much blood--I've never seen one of my children bleed so much.  I was really afraid we were going to end up at the ER, but thankfully the bleeding stopped after 10 minutes.  He still might have damaged his tooth--it's kind of a wait and see thing.  The lip is healing quite fast, and he is now eating normally.

This is a zoomed in picture 3 days after the accident.  He had been playing in the sandbox, so there is some extra sand and dirt around his mouth.  This shows the tooth and gum line.
