Pumpkin Patch

Today was Andrew's first Montessori field trip!

A fun day at Sartorie Farm's Pumpkin Patch....a bumpy tractor "hay" ride,


Finding the perfect pumpkin in the patch,


and it wouldn't be complete without "milking" the cow!
Thankfully the udders are just filled with water :)

Never too old....

for a warm, fuzzy blanket!

The boys were jealous of how soft and fuzzy the new baby blanket turned out.

So they begged and pleaded for mommy to make them one!
And what a joy it was to take 2 little boys to the fabric store to pick out fabric :) Every bolt of fabric was Owen's "favorite"! We finally decided on matching (no fighting!) blankets with different binding to tell them apart!!

Woe is me.....

I am already in nesting mode and cannot find a single place to buy modern looking baby and nursery decor. Nothing. Nada. Zip.

Whatever is one to do when there is no decent shopping in Big Sky Country??

Plan A: Shop online, of course! Find a fabulous, outrageously expensive bedding set that only the celebrity folk could afford. And that is exactly what I did. Hmmm.

Plan B: Find similar material at your local fabric store and make it yourself!! Who knew I was so crafty, right?? Well, I'm not. Luckily, Grandma was in town to visit so I put her to work while she was here! She cut and pinned while I sewed on the dotted line!

And the final result....a fabulous, not-so-outrageously expensive bedding set that even the common folk could afford!!

Here is a sneak-peek at Evan's Sock Monkey nursery.

I will post more pics of the nursery once it is complete!

BOY!!!!

Exhaustion

Sometimes you're just so tired you can lay your head anywhere to sleep!

Little Drummer Boy

I think I know what he is getting for his birthday! Owen is obsessed with drums lately. He turns everything he can think of into a drum set!
