Pumkin Time 2009!

So we finally made some time to go to the pumpkin patch, its only 1/2 mile from our house so it was actually pretty easy. Besides the pumpkins they had tons of stuff to do; a petting zoo, pony rides, a corn maze, and tons of other stuff. Lauren petted the ponies but wouldnt ride them and she watched the goats for a minute but then she saw this big lion statue and thought it was zizou (it was super cute) she petted it and talked to it for about 10 minutes. Thanks Joe for holding her up there the whole time.

After the zizou/lion petting session, we moved on to the coloring area. She colored a pretty picture but mostly she tried to get every single crayon out of the box, just like she does at home!

She loves to put her face through these but of course daddy had to stand back there so she'd stay long enough to get her picture taken. She kept putting her head through the little hand holes, I guess they are more her size.

On to her favorite thing of the day PUSHING THE WHEELBARROW!

She LOVES to push and pick up heavy things (I think she gets that from the west side of the family, ie: uncle Joey&Gpa Jim) Of course she couldnt actually move it, so daddy had to help a little.


On the way back to the car she saw another fun toy, in fact it was the noisiest toy ever! She of course loved it! It was actually a pretty good idea for reusing old car parts, etc... The kids loved it!

After that daddy won the slingshot pumpkin contest so we got a HUGE pumpkin for free to take home (we could barely pick it up by ourselves) but hey it was free! On the way to return the wheelbarrow we ignored the safety signs and let Lauren ride in it!

After a tough day at the pumpkin patch we were cleaning out some old clothes when Lauren decided it would be fun to climb in her laundry hamper, for some reason she though it was fun & hilarious!

But of course she would freak out when she couldnt get out of it!

Later that weekend Lauren helped us clean and carve the pumpkins, more pictures of our October adventures to come........................

Lo Wat - October

This is kind of our normal after work/weeknight routine before bedtime and for some reason Lauren always manages to make a mess. Now that she can open the baby wipes she likes to use them to clean her babies and daddy (He must be really dirty after work) in fact she does this to Joe a lot but to no one else, hmmmm take a hint joe. You'll also see shes not much of a golfer, so hopefully she can stick with soccer, which she is actually pretty good at (for a 20 month old). Not the most exciting video but hopefully well get some better footage since the holidays are coming, for now this is all i could find! Just wait until you see what shes going to be for halloween!

Dancing Machine

Another quick video below. Normally Lauren doesnt even notice the TV, but if there is music or dancing on she loves it. The other day we watched a few minutes of the show So You Think You Can DANCE and she loved it! She dances non-stop except for a random cookie break here and there. She may have to be a dancer & a soccer player!

Laurens "Babies"

As you can see Lauren likes to have every single one of her toys out when its play time, its hard to keep them all put away for long. She is just gettting into dolls which she calls her babies. She loves babies and is really sweet to them, so hopefully she'll be helpfull when her little sibling comes next march. Its hard to get any good video of her since once she sees a camera she usually drops what shes doing and wants to play with it, but I did get her trying to change her babies diaper. She does this probably a couple times a day with her 2 favorite "babies", she can now open the wipe container which I have had to hide from her since she will use about 20 each time, But she will wipe down the baby and "try" to put on a new diaper, its pretty cute how she figured it out. Then she'll usually try and feed the baby and pushes it around in the stroller, those babies keep her pretty busy.

Another Sighting
