Poppel Farms 2016

We took another trip to Poppell Farms this year! Last year when we went Zeke was a little baby, so this year was even more fun! 

They loved the duck run just as much this year.

I think Zeke's favorite part was the animals. They had rabbits, goats, sheep, mules, chickens, and pigs.

Sweeties!!!

Our group this year:

We took a hay ride out to a field where they set out a bunch of pumpkins. Each kid got to choose a pumpkin to take home.

Love my 4!

We had a picnic lunch, then spent a couple of hours playing on the slides, jumpers, corn bins, etc.

This was Bo's favorite, by far!

Zeke loved the little playhouse.

We had so much fun and a nice quiet drive home while the little ones napped. Mae was ready to pose with her little pumpkin when we got home. :)

We had a great trip to Poppell Farms! 

Catching Up

I know I am way behind. I can't even recap everything we've been doing lately, but I do know Jared has been away many more nights than he's been home the last 2 weeks. We've been running in survival mode and having lots of movie evenings with popcorn.

School is always interesting with Zeke around.

See?

Bo finished level 1 of All About Reading!! He was so proud!

Stamped all his lessons:

We had a pizza picnic a few weeks ago for lunch one day:

Jared took the big two to a UGA football game a few weeks ago for Arabelle's birthday. They were so excited!

It was me and the little ones for the day!

Mae insisted on wearing Arabelle's Georgia t-shirt while she was gone.

Snuggle time!

We had an Olympic co-op with the homeschool group in early September:

Bo was so excited when his Lego Ninjago minifigures he ordered with his birthday money came. They shipped from China and he had a long wait!

This is the picture of a defiant 3 year old. Ha!

These two are buddies. :)

Bo had this great stick and said he should have gone to Colorado because he could attack and elk with the stick. Ha!

First day of Fall = Fall treat!

I don't remember what day this was, but Jared hadn't been home in a while and Mama was tiiiirrrrreeeeedddd at this point. We snuggled all afternoon.

I let the kids 'swim' in our bathtub and they brought all their animal friends with them:

Mae had a field trip to the State Park. She had so much fun, but the highlight was riding the bus. Ha!

Such a sweet girl:

I was so surprised she fed the goat!

We also enjoyed some time with our cousins, Besic and Isa at Papaw and Mama's house:
