Nana Butterfly's Pumpkin Patch

This was a very strange pumpkin patch. We went with the mom's group and it was supposed to be educational, but the guy there decided most kids were too young to understand and decided not to teach us anything. But, we went on the crazy nature walk through the put-put golf course and then got our pumpkins.

Reagan's shifty eyes... waiting to get things started.

Then we finally got to learn a little and went into the butterfly house where we saw some caterpillars.... that was all... no other teachings... pretty sad.

They got to hold leaves with small baby caterpillars on them.

So then we ate lunch and the real fun began... the jump castles. I had to drag them out kicking and screaming. They had so much fun and made it all worth it. Now I did go down this slide and can say that I have no idea how they did it time after time because it was scary and it made me a little sick it went so fast!

She decided on her own to go down backwards and head first!

GAME DAY!

We went to Clemson for the weekend. Riley and Reagan were so excited to spend GAME DAY at the actual game. We got there at lunch time on Friday and had a great lunch in downtown Clemson and then went to see the stadium. I'm not real sure who Reagan thought was going to be there, but I think she thought there were actual tigers. She kept saying that she didn't want to see them and that they went home to see their mommies because they missed her... haha, I think she was a little happy when there really wasn't anyone there.

We had to get up really early to make the noon game, but that's no problem for my kids... they popped up and were ready to take off. It was a little chilly at first, but it warmed up quickly and was such a nice day.

They both got into it and were sooooo excited to cheer and see the tigers run down the hill.

Riley loves the balloons and watched them until you couldn't see them anymore.

And the best part of the whole game (besides them winning) was Riley being super excited to sing the National Anthem and she did a great job! I didn't think to record it until half way through so here is just a blurb of it. Oh, and please excuse Jason... not sure why he felt he needed to belt it out so loudly and so off key:) And yes that is Reagan in the background also trying to sing... Riley sings this so much that Reagan is learning parts of it!

Report Card

Riley got her 1st report card today! I think the check marks may be a mistake :) Well, at least the letter L one because I know she knows that letter, but N and Q we will work on. I'm so proud of her and how good she is doing this year... she is really learning a lot and LOVES it!
