Our Mom's Group went to the Hatcher Family Dairy last Thursday. It is an active dairy farm about 15 minutes from my house. The kids got to feed the cows and see how they are milked and where they process the milk and most importantly we got to taste milk and fresh butter. It was all delicious! The folks there were so nice and the kids had a lot of fun. I wish that I had been able to take better pictures. I had both kids so it was kind of a handful. I definitely want to go back again!
It's a gorgeous fall day in Nashville, which is great since it's Halloween. We never really celebrated "Halloween" growing up...it was always "Harvest Festival" or even worse and infinitely more cheesy "Hallelujah Night" at church. Ugh! We dressed up as Bible characters, played games and won candy. I mean of course I had fun as a kid but I was always a little bitter that we didn't get to go house to house and "trick or treat". So now that I have a kid we're starting some new traditions. Last year James was a pumpkin (and so cute - check him out!) and this year he's going to be a monkey. He already got to wear his costume this morning at our mom's group Pumpkin Party. Kudos to my friends Kristy and Kari for putting that one on. It was a ton of fun and the kids were precious running around in their various costumes. Tonight we're going to set up our card table and chairs on the driveway and hang out with family while the kids come up and get candy. I'm really looking forward to it!
Hopefully we'll get some great pictures tonight - especially since our family professional photographer "Aunt Laura" will be here. She always gets the greatest shots.
I have tons of stuff that I could/should be doing right now but it seems like every day my highest priority is taking a nap. I feel bad except then I think "in a couple weeks I just won't have this luxury" so then I sleep a little better. Speaking of a couple weeks....11/14 is our "parachute date" as my doctor calls it. Basically we're scheduled that morning at the hospital to be induced unless Nate decides to make an appearance before then. Which really anytime after next Tuesday will work for me as I should be completely finished with all my little projects/tasks/get togethers etc. But as you know these things aren't always predictable. We'll just see what happens and I'll keep you posted!
We had a blast at our mom's group yesterday. We took the kids to a place called the Monkey's Treehouse. It's this really neat indoor play place. James absolutely loved it!
This mom who started this is making a killing. There were things for the kids to do everywhere and nice cushy chairs for the parents to hang out and watch. I was impressed with how organized and clean things were considering there were kids everywhere. James, Savannah and Izzy had such a good time together. James is so lucky to have such cute little friends!
