Last Friday, we went to a pumpkin farm with another group similar to Joy School. I think the other kids had a good time. My children, on the other hand, were extremely out of hand. This picture is probably the peak of Dottie's happiness at the pumpkin farm, for she knew that once she had her pumpkin, she could leave.
I like this one. Dottie, and the little boy, Aaron, showing their misery.
These are pictures of the whole group. They're all about equally as bad, so I figured I'd post them all. I especially like Serenity (the one mommy in the picture). She has three young kids, and they were also struggling that day. Her face says it all: "is this even worth it?" We were having similar sentiments that day.
I'm sorry; I should have a better attitude. I mean, like I said, for some kids, it was awesome. But I could only get Dottie to get out of the stroller to touch this hog, and then to see the horse. She did like the hog. He was enormous. She said his hair was "rough," which it was.
This is where the big meltdown happened. Dottie is with her best bud, Amelia, who loves horses. The horse turned around and whinnied, and Dottie thought he was trying to eat her. So she cried and cried. See how she's wringing her hands? Then, when we left the horse, she started crying that she wanted to see him again. It was probably a bad idea to go at all; both kids were up until 9 pm the night before because they went to Daddy's concert.
On a happier note, this was our first time dressing up Elliot in his huge winter coat. I don't know why, but I just think babies look so dang cute in these coats. I especially like seeing Elliot try to crawl. He can hardly move he's so bundled.
So have you noticed I changed things up with the background of my blog? I don't know how I feel about it. What do you think? Is it me?

Oooh, hand-wringing is definitely a Hansen trait- I'm sorry.
I loved the pics and the new background. It definitely has more personality, more feminine.
Your new background has my vote for sure. I used to think that pink and green didn't go well together, but then again, I had a lot of growing up to do.
Isn't it so frustrating! You try to do what you think would be fun things with your kids and most of the time they whine and complain or are out of control. The joy of being a mom. That is too funny about the horse.
I do like the background. I will send you an email about how to fix the header later.
