Pumpkinland!

This morning we went to Pumpkinland! We were supposed to have a play date there with some of our friends, but the weather was not fabulous, so it got cancelled, but I didn't see the email until we had already gotten there! So I figured we might as well play a little until it started raining! They have TONS of Pumpkins, a corn maze, and a kids area with a petting zoo and play houses! He had a blast and an epic meltdown ensued when we had to leave the pony and get in the car...oh my!!

he would have stayed right there ALL DAY

And now let the tears begin!! Where is my little chubby baby?!?!

wish i would have taken his hat off, but I was lucky to get this shot! Since I was by myself, the owner came over and helped me get him to stay and look, I didn't have time to get picky! :)

Trick or Treat!!

I wanted him to open his Halloween Happy on the 1st, but he has had an awful cold so we waited, and this morning he felt a little better! 

He immediately went for the Slinky!! It is a Halloween one, how cool?!?!

more Fall/Halloween books, slinky, playdoh, sucker, light up pumpkin, Halloween DVD

he was obsessed with this light up necklace!

who is this grown child and where is my baby?!?!

Slinky fun!!

now this is what I have been waiting for!! I bought it before he was born, don't judge! ha! Last year he got the Trick or Treat Surprise Little People house and he really likes it (it's on the end of the table) but I knew he would LOVE this one, and I was right!!! It's a farm...a Halloween farm!!

all the farm animals have Halloween masks on!

it makes noises when you press certain things, so fun! On a another note, have you seen the re-design of Little People?? It is TRAGIC!!! I am soo glad I got all the ones I want already because I will never buy the new ones, EEWWW!!!

Happy October!! :)

Advent Calendar!

Yes, I know it is still September, but I like to be prepared!! I have been collecting fun little things for his advent calendar since everything went on clearance last year after Christmas! I did a lot of searching for ideas of things to put in advent calenders and couldn't find many pictures, just lists of things. So I decided to take pictures of what I found...these ideas may not work for everybody since some calendars are much smaller but these were perfect for the old Coke crate we use! 

This is last years picture, just so you can get an idea of what it looks like all put together. We start with 24 and see whats inside, then take the item out, and I put the card with the number face down in its little cubby. Last year I just did all Little People, he liked it but I think this year will be much more fun!

the treasures!

I'll just list left to right: FIRST ROW-  little plastic Christmas book (walmart), bendy Santa (walmart), Mickey (dollar tree), grow a penguin (Hobby Lobby), grow a pig (Hobby Lobby), Goofy (dollar tree), SECOND ROW- snowman playdoh (ebay), Cars socks (Target), slinky (walmart), Toy Story keys (walmart), bendy snowman (walmart), sponge farm animal beads (dollar tree), THIRD ROW-  Minnie (dollar tree), Toy Story anti-bac (dollar tree), Tree playdoh (ebay), Donald (dollar tree), Cars socks (Target),  little plastic Christmas book (walmart), FOURTH ROW- Toy Story Zing Ems-Woody, Buzz, Jessie, Rex, alien (these are SOO cool!), slinky (walmart)

the Zing Em's close up :)  These came in a whole pack at Dirt Cheap for around 2 or 3 bucks...If you live in the South, you must go to Dirt Cheap, it will change your life!! hehehe!!

This was so fun for me to do! Some of the things were left over from his farm birthday party, most was from Christmas Clearance last year (me and my sister spent a whole day deal finding, it was soo fun!), and the rest is from Dollar Tree. Can't wait for December 1st!!!

This and That!

Sorry no post lately, but we have been busy bees! I haven't taken many pics, but here are a few from my phone :)

This pumpkin was what he chose for his grocery shopping prize! He carries it around everywhere!

yummy pumpkin muffins I made for our MOPS meeting last week! A must try!

 The other day The Pioneer Woman was in Jackson, Mississippi for a book signing for her Charlie dog books! My Momma went and got Merritt some signed copies!! I just adore her and was pretty much a jelly belly the whole time texting for updates!! I got to meet her four years ago in Minneapolis when The Farmer took me, so I was really excited Momma went to this one, just wish I would have been there too :) Thanks, Momma, for waiting in line for hours...and hours!! We love you!

he is getting so good at coloring!

scribbling away waiting for supper :)
