Pumpkin Patch Time

Well it's past that time again but at least I'm posting about it. :)  Monkey and were able to have some more Mommy and Me time while going to one of the local Pumpkin Patches.  This one we went to is an actual farm so we were able to pick a pumpkin from the field and we learned about all sorts of pumpkins too.  I think when Christmas time comes I'll take him out to look at the trees too just for fun! 

Monkey is about 2 pumpkins tall

Monkey wasn't too sure about this goat.  They both kept their distance from each other.

A friend was able to take a quick picture of us on the Hay ride before we got going.

Monkey going into the corn maze. 

Monkey did a great job find a way out he loved this maze.  The best part is at the end you got to pick out your pumpkin.

Monkey did a great job picking out a pumpkin almost perfectly round and he was able to carry it himself too!  It was a great day to get a pumpkin! 

Chuck E Cheese!!

At wiggles new school we have a fundraiser at least once a month.  This helps with tuition staying low and it gives us as a family to go out together for some fun.  This time it was a Chuck E Cheese.  We don't go there too often at least not on are own accord.  But we will go if it's raising money for school or perhaps an awards banquet.  Here is the only picture from that night.  We were having so much fun I just forgot to take more pictures. :) I know it's not the best picture.... 

Soccer Time

This year Wiggles signed up for soccer!  Oh was I so excited.  I love soccer.  These pictures are from the beginning of the season.  Wiggles has improved so much from the beginning, we are so proud of her.  I've been able to help out at soccer practice for the last few weeks and have enjoyed it so much.  I don't think I'll be coaching anytime soon but it is nice to get out there and help. 

Wiggles and team mate taking direction from the Coach, there they go break away!  And our little Wiggles too cute a picture for me to pass up. :)  

She is enjoying the season.  Not sure what we will do with our free weekends in a few weeks.  

Visit to the Fire Station

Monkey and I were able to go visit a local Fire Station with our MOPS group back in mid Sept.  I know a little late on the posting.  We have been so busy with taking Wiggles to school, MOPS, AWANA, and not to mention the regular things that need to be done around here.  So I'm going to try and get caught up the best I can for now.    So Monkey and I were able to go visit the Fire Station.  Poor Monkey didn't like it when the fire alarm (non-emergency just an example) went off or when the guys dressed in their uniforms.

After the education part we were able to take a tour of the Station and go look at the trucks.  Monkey even was able to pretend to do work the water hose.

Very serious about the job at hand.  We had a great time Monkey loved looking at all the trucks.  

Changes are a happening!

Well there are going to be some changes coming to our blog.  They are not My Two Little Monkeys anymore.  So I need to change a few things to reflect this.  So you will see some changes soon to this blog!  I am so sad that I haven't been keeping up on the blog lately.  I will be trying to update soon.  The new blog is now called The Adventures of Wiggles and Monkey.  G Monkey is now Wiggles.  She has had a birthday and just isn't a monkey anymore.  She wiggles all the time hence the new nickname.  Stay tune for all the Adventures.....

Day of firsts for both Monkeys 2

So after school we had a few house (2) before our First night of AWANA. This year G Monkey is in Sparks and B Monkey is in Cubbies with me. I'm still a Table leader in Cubbies but this year I moved up to the 4 year olds since B Monkey is in the other class. We will see how it goes. It was a successful night.

Day of Firsts for both Monkey's

Well today was the day of firsts. G Monkey going to big kid school finally, B Monkey starting AWANA, and Mommy realizing her kids are growing up way too fast.

We started out with G Monkey. Her first day of Kindergarten. Can it be, really she's ready, she's old enough. Okay she's going. Weather I'm ready or not. There weren't many tears I held them in so she wouldn't start. G Monkey got up herself and wanted a good breakfast that would hold her over. Breakfast Burrito, which was good cause I didn't want her having a sugary cereal the first day. Best foot forward the first day.
She picked out what uniform combo to wear, and walla she's ready to go. Backpack in had and off we go. B Monkey was happy she was going, when I said we need to go pick up G Monkey he said NO I don't want too. Well looks like the love hate relationship is still going strong. Really I think he just likes having Mommy to himself. Such the Mama's boy (I'm working on this for the sake of his future wife, really I am)....

We got G Monkey to school on time and took her into her class, we got her all settled in and then they had to line up for pledges and chapel.
Once done with that B Monkey and I were off to Mimi's Cafe for breakfast with friends.
Once done we went of a few errands and then back to pick up G Monkey. She had a great day. Over all the first week of school was great. G Monkey did cry on Friday but I think part of that was that 3 other kids were and the week was starting to catch up with her.
