Let the Holiday Season begin!

The Holiday Season is here! We went to "The Farm" in Snohomish to look at Pumpkins and check out the animals. It was awesome, there was so much to see. 

On a mission to see the pumpkins

There are so many more pumpkins than in my pumpkin patch at home

There were even corn stalks with actual corn on them. Mom said I could not eat them though. Eric the horse would sure like them

Check this out! A long haired, long horned cow! She was a momma, she had a baby behind her

Can we come here again tomorrow? 

First day of school-for me!

I had my first day of school yesterday! Mom said I get to go with her every Friday from 9:15-11:15. I go to Harbour Pointe Christian Preschool. My teacher's name is Miss Stacey and there are 11 kids in my class with 11 moms or dads. 

My daddy even got to go with us on my first day. I was the only kid who had both their mommy and daddy there. That is Miss Stacey in the background. She is really nice. I listened to her very well.

I even had my own basket to put my work in. Look it says Price! That's me!

The classroom was so cool! The first thing I saw was this cool container of these soft foamy pieces I got to put in one container to the next. There were even little pumpkins and leaves in there, it was like treasure! 

The first project I ever made in school was this painted bat. Halloween is coming so our projects today were all about bats. 

Before I could paint I had to wait for Miss Stacey to give me a piece of paper to paint on.

Here's another project. Bats flying around the blue sky. Mom showed me what glue was all about. Never seen that before.

After craft time we got to go into the chapel to play with balloons! We tossed them up in the air and tried to catch them. Mom and dad played with me, it was lots of fun!

After balloons we went back into our classroom to have snack. We got food!

Snack was string cheese, grapes, strawberries and guess what? It was someone's birthday so we had cupcakes too. I didn't want to wear the party hat though, mom did. 

I ate all the frosting but no cake. Not enough time.

After snack it was time to wind down and Miss Stacey read us a book. I was starting to get pretty sleepy. 

What a fun day! But boy I'm pooped. I'll be ready to go again though next Friday. We get to wear our Halloween costumes, I can't wait! 

My babies

Looking at these two melt my heart. They got me. I love them both so much. Even when I think I'm going to fall asleep standing at 3:00 in the afternoon every day, I wouldn't change a thing. Well, maybe 1 thing:) I might change the fact that really the only time Parker falls asleep during the day is on me or when I'm carrying her in the baby Ergo. That's really about it. There are times, at least once a day, that I want to cry or think I'm not doing an adequate job. But I realize it's all about the journey and I am fortunate to have my two babies and all the excitement it brings each day. 

Sure I'd like my old body back, I'd like my feet not to hurt, I'd like to put make up on or dry my hair, I'd like to sleep more, I'd like to go have drinks with friends. But all that will come and I'm trying to cherish the moments I have with them now because I know they will be gone one day and what will seem like very soon. 

We were at the nearby park the other morning walking around. Parker on me, Price walking through the leaves. I was telling Price about ferns and bark on the trees and leaves falling from the trees. It was a simple, relaxing morning and one I'll always remember. I'm sure there will be a day where I won't have that quiet walk in the woods with my kids. They may not even want to walk in the woods with me anymore. Those are the times I try to be in the moment and not think about all the hard things about being a parent of two small ones. 

Time is moving and moving pretty quickly. Price starts his first day of school tomorrow. It's called Friday 2's. It's only 2 hours on Friday mornings where him and I get to go and get the school experience together. Today, we went to Target to get his first backpack. He picked the Elmo backpack over the Cars backpack. When he got home he wanted to know how to put it on after he put his new football in there. 

My 2nd birthday!

I'm 2! That means I'm not 1 anymore. Mom and dad threw me a very fun birthday party down at the Mukilteo Beach, my favorite place! My whole family was there and some of my friends, it was great. I even got to eat cake and open lots of great presents!

YUM! At first I didn't know if I could even touch it!

I got a basketball cake and everything. I overhead mom say, "I guess Costco doesn't know how to do a basketball." Looks more like an orange tennis ball to me and I even know that. 

My Grammy and Grampy eating cake with me

Look at this card! It has my name on it!

Mom really liked this gift. I got a lot of clothes. I'm going to be stylin for fall.

Look It's a basketball and it's my favorite color!

And some of my favorite people were there...

Love my cousin Koen, or Ko Ko as mommy likes to call him

My sister Parker and Koen are up to no good. They are crazy!

What a fun day! I want to do it again next year.
