I got to go with Siena and Aria on their field trip to a farm. It was fun because they had about 15 rotations every 5 minutes about all different things. It was great because it totally kept their interest moving every 5 minutes and each station was different. Then we ate lunch and played at a park for a while.
Siena and Aria got to go to their first Women's Conference since they're 8 now. They weren't that excited to go but I got to take them to dinner before and since they chose pizza, their favorite, then it was ok I think.
The girls entered their first Reflections contest this year in photography. The them was 'Looking Inside' Siena did a picture and essay on our trees in our backyard how they might look scary but when you go inside them you find all sorts of pretty things in nature. Aria took a picture of an apple and talked about how you would never know from the outside how good and juicy an apple is on the inside. Aria ended up winning 2nd place for her entry and both had fun going to the awards ceremony and getting a ribbon and some fun prizes.
We went to the Witch festival at Gardner Village on the coldest day of the entire year it felt like but we made it!
By the time we made it to the pumpkin patch this year all the pumpkins were green or rotten. So wen played with some corn and went on a couple slides and called it good. We ended up buying them at the grocery store and I don't think I've ever done that in my entire life.
The kids were all random things for Halloween..no theme, sad! Siena was a bunny, Aria a horse and Jaron was Dracula. And of course we always love the Halloween parade at school. That night we trick or treated. Both Shane and I went out this year since we get so few trick or treaters on our street so it was fun to all be out together. We keep saying how we only have another year or 2 before they won't let us go with them.
