Pumpkin Patch

Our MOPS table group got together for a play date at the pumpkin patch. The girls always love going. They were very concerned about picking the right pumpkin to paint. They also had fun feeding the animals as well and having a picnic lunch. We managed to visit 2 pumpkin patches this year but this one is our favorite.

It's too HOT!

I know I complain when it is cold and yet here I am complaining it is too hot! Over a 100 degrees every day is too much. Luckily we have great friends that want to cool off at the splash park.

Sweet Friends

We love our friends Alex and Jaycen and we love that they invite us to swim in their pool! We will miss them dearly when they move to New York.

Playdate and Picture taking.

The girls love having play dates and they really love it when the play date involves outside activities. We had the girls' friend over the other day for some soccer, golf, and maybe a little picture taking by the mommies. They were more than happy to pose and that made me so happy since I am trying to get the hang of shooting in manual mode only. Fun playing for them and fun practice for me.

Zoo Playdate with MOPS

I am convinced that I can only go to the zoo when it is hot...happens every time. We had fun in spite of the heat with our friends from MOPS. Claire wanted to see a giraffe and Quinn wanted to see a hippopotamus. We did see giraffes but no hippos at the Tulsa zoo, we will have to go to OKC for Quinn to see them. Claire's favorite was the giraffe, naturally, and Quinn's was the elephants. Fun times, we hope to go again this year but maybe we will wait until fall.

Chuck E. Cheese

Our MOPS play date today was at Chuck E. Cheese. We have never been before and the girls loved it! They had such a good time playing games and collecting tickets. We ended up with 90 tickets and the girls picked candy (not surprised!) and bracelets as their prizes. They loved that they got to eat their favorite...pizza! It was extra special because Claire's friend Alex was celebrating his 4th birthday today so we were able to celebrate with him. Quinn was very afraid of Chuck the mouse when he came out to say hi. So much that even when I put her to bed tonight she said "Mommy, that Chuck E Cheeses scared me." I hope she doesn't have nightmares. I think I have said before that I am very weirded out by mascots...they creep me out! It was difficult for me to be brave and tell Quinn everything was fine and that he was our friend. When the whole time I am looking at that big mouse head all I wanted to do was punch him in the face and run away. (Was that too violent?) I now have the willies! Anyway, the girls had fun and can't wait to go again but they want to bring daddy next time. Fine with me...him and Claire can talk to the big mouse while Quinn and I play games far far away!

Claire and Jaycen.

Alex and Quinn.

She is so brave...she gave him a high five!

See Quinn's face? Scared...I feel ya Quinny!!
