Busy weekend

We had a busy but WONDERFUL weekend this past weekend. I took Friday off as I had signed Kenley up for a class at the Children's Discovery Museum. It was our first trip there and she enjoyed the class very much. We also enjoyed exploring the museum afterwards. The class was a Happy Halloween theme for October. They read a book and sang some songs. They had some free play time where you could do arts and crafts or play with holiday themed items like a pool of fake leaves or spooky bowling things.

Here is Kenley working hard on a candy corn she made for her daddy.
At the end when everyone regrouped we did more singing and some bubbles and scarves, but Kenley's favorite by far was the parachute. She had such a great time shaking it and then lifting it to see everyone else in the circle.
After we left the museum we went to Toys R Us to do a little Christmas shopping with Grandma B who was in town and had gone with us to play for the morning. We may have stopped at McDonald's for some drinks and cookies on the way, but there was no evidence of any cookies :)
Then on Saturday, we had planned to take Kenley back out to Rader Farms with Grandma and Papa B. She loves that place. We explored even more thouroughly than we had the weekend before at Haley's party. Here we found this pregnant goat. Not sure which one of us looked more pregnant :)
We played in the corn again and even coaxed Papa in for a bit.
We also posed for a few cute pictures with pumpkins!
This weekend she discovered the straw fort and how fun it was to climb up and "capture" the flags. Here she is enjoying one of the views. Good thing Clay could climb up there with her since she was all over the place!
Of course we also had to do the jump pillow again. No trip to the pumpkin patch is complete without jumping on the pillow :) She just loves it!!
Saturday night we also had another first. We actually got to play in our yard for the first time. We ran around and played tag or kicked the ball around. We even went exploring and found some bugs. Here Kenley is trying to touch the grasshopper. 
(Oh and yes, that girl's hair is crazy especially after naptime. I didn't brush it out but let her just look like a wild woman.) Sunday was very low key and no big plans. Kenley got up extra early and didn't take a good nap but we all survived and overall the weekend was just so much fun!

Kenley is just so cute! Sounds like that farm is lots of fun, too. All my kids love the parachute, so cool that you go to do all those fun things at the museum. Enjoy your time before the baby arrives.

Marlie has a lot of wild woman hair days to. I kinda like it myself.
