Pumpkin Patch Field Trip

Two of the classes in Dakota's school went on a field trip to a local pumpkin patch.
They learned about how pumpkins grow, and where they come from.
They did some fun songs and even got to measure pumpkins with a tape measure, which was Dakotas favorite part!
They also did a scavenger hunt/iSpy game with all their awesome decorations.
And last but not least Dakota picked out 3 pumpkins, one for him self and one for his sister and brother.
As we were leaving, we got handed a coloring book, a recipe book and some seeds to plant.
I intend to plant the seeds with the kids as a lesson. I am not sure if they will grow, but it will be fun, nonetheless...

Here are some photos from our day!

Sun, Wind, Rain - 31 Days of Joyful Blessings

The weather. The rain, the sun, the cool breeze.

I feel so very blessed when the sun is shining on me through an open window. Or when the rain is about to fall and the smell lingers in the air. Or when it is hot out and you get that sudden cool breeze.

Yes, this is something I am thankful for...

I love when the sun is shining and I close my eyes and take in its warmth. I love being able to bask in its light and enjoy the heat. ( Being in Florida, most of the tie it scorches me LOL) But I am still thankful for it!

I love rainy days inside. Or outside. I love snuggling up in a blanket with a movie and tossing a roast in the crock pot! I love going out side with the kids and dancing in the rain and splashing in puddles! I love the calm it puts on our home when we can hear the drops dancing on the roof.

I love when fall starts to roll in and we get those breezy days. Where you drive around town with the windows open and feel it kiss your cheeks as your hair flutters around your face. I love being able to throw on a hoodie and feel so snuggly warm.

These moments make me so grateful for living on this earth, even if it is only temporary.

God Never Makes Mistakes

Against all Odds!

American - 31 days of Joyful Blessings

Blessed to be an American.

I was born and raised in the states. I have freedom to do as I please.

I can vote for who runs the country.

I can freely speak my religion.

I can come and go as I please. I can have as many children as I want.

And though this country isnt perfect, I am proud to be an american!

Residence - 31 Days of Joyful Blessings

My residence.

What does this mean?

I am blessed to have lived in many different places. Each place has taught me something in my life!

I was born in Massachusetts, and resided there for some time! Then New Hampshire! Then a small stint in Vermont and New York.

Then we moved to Florida which I call home. Only for me to head to California, where my daughter was born! And then we headed back home, to Florida.

I have had the pleasure of making many memories and friends with people in each state and I love that!
Each person, each memory will be held in my heart!

The most beautiful state and weather by far was California. But the people were not very friendly. Massachusetts will always be where my family is, but it is darn cold there! And Florida just feels like home. I like it here.

What states have you lived in?
Which is your favorite?

Fearfully and wonderfully made!
