Blue.Eyed.Blondies: Firsts for Hayden

This is a busy week full of Halloween & Fall Fun! Yesterday Hayden had his 1st field trip w/ his preschool class. He was totally confused as to why he wasn't at school, and what all his friends were doing @ the same place outside of school. It was really funny. The field trip was to Country Gardens Nursery. They toured the greenhouses, planted a pansy to bring home, went on a hayride, petted the animals, picked out a pumpkin & had snacks.

Learning about plants

Planting a pansy. Hayden actually spent more time playing w/ the rocks. He is all-boy!

A visit to the petting zoo.

And again, he was not interested in feeding the animals or petting them. He was busy chasing these dogs around...

Hey. What's under this flap?

He did like petting the baby chick.

Headed out on a hayride w/ his little buddy, Noah.

And today was his Halloween party at preschool. He was so excited to wear his Darth Vader costume. He didn't have the full costume on, as I didn't want him to lose all the pieces before Halloween even gets here! To kick off the party all the kids get to parade through the narthex before the party, while the adoring parents ooh & aah & snap pics. Very red-carpet! LOL...

After the costume parade, they headed to their room to decorate Halloween bags w/ Halloween stickers.

Then it was time for a Halloween story from one of the Grandma's. For some reason, all the kids were looking the opposite direction of the storyteller in this pic.

Snacktime!

Gracie has had Red Ribbon week this week @ school. Each day has had a theme such as, Career Day, where Gracie was an artisit, Western Day, Tacky Day, etc. Today was crazy hair day & here she is w/ crazy hair!
