pumpkin patch

We headed to Flat Acres Farm to pick our pumpkins.....great small running farm here in Parker.  This is our third year in a row going there, definitely something we will continue.  It was a cold day, but the kids had a great time on the tractor ride, picking pumpkins, going through the mazes and just having fun!!!!  Our good friends the Jenner's met us there.....Emmy and Marek are just 3 days apart.

fire truck

We were able to join a friend and her playgroup for a fire truck tour.  The kids had a blast, though Wyatt refused to get in the truck!  I would have thought he'd have been first in line, but Emerson was all about it.

first day of preschool

Emerson is in her second year of preschool, she is loving school more and more as the year goes on.  Cant believe she is gearing up for kindie next year!  She is still a social little bee and has been meeting new friends at school.  She is attending preschool 3 mornings a week and stays for dance and lunch bunch once a week too.  She already has made big strides at school this year....finally she can write her entire name!  This is a big accomplishment since she does not go by Emmy at school...."Emerson" is a bit of a challenge to write, but she's mastered it.   She also has really taken interest in riding her bike, still with training wheels, but we'll take it.  At first she was not too into it, but now all she wants to do every afternoon is ride, ride, ride.  We do have a nice setup with a  long driveway, so she can ride in circles till her heart is content.  I am pleased to say her soccer season has come to an end.  She is the soccer player that we anticipated....did not enjoy it!  We made it to 6 of her 8 games/practices and she did well running and following the other kids but never kicked the ball in a "game".  As Steve says, we will be sticking to dance!  Speaking of that is all she wants to do, so I plan on getting her into more of an organized dance studio come the first of the year.  But right now, her dance class at school is perfect.
