Pumpkin Patch Fun

Christian's preschool class spent a couple of days learning about the life cycle of a pumpkin and they finished up with a visit to the pumpkin patch. he had never been to one before and just had a grand time. He was in awe of the huge field just full of so many pumpkins!


Different kinds, different colors and shapes!
 We were watching Crayton that week!
 
 

The Maze!
 They had been learning about pumpkins and their plant cycle. His teacher gave them a little scavenger hunt of sort to find different kids of squash and pumpkins in their different stages. He had a blast!

Lots up catch up posts! Enjoy!

Witches at Gardner Village

We took our annual trip down to Gardner village to see the witches! This year we took a few more friends!


 
Amy the pitcher and Riley the catcher
 
 


 
This year we fully participated in the Witch Scavenger Hunt. The kids get a yellow sheet of paper with ?'s/ clues helping them to find 15 or so witches throughout the property. After they complete it they take their paper to the bakery for a free cookie. Christian was so insistent on finishing- who would have thought?!


 
This year we got to see some live witches and their costumes were spectacular!
 




 

 
Brigham, was so sweet to get up on the stage and dance with Jess.



 

Tyler 9th Birthday Football Party

Tyler wanted to share his love of football with his friends for his birthday this year!! 
(we have a rule set at our house that we can't have friend birthday parties until our 9th Birthday)
 
Tyler had waited for this opportunity for a looonggg time and he was very excited!


Pizza, pop, cupcakes and chips

  We had some skill challenges: farthest kick & throw the ball through the hoop!
 
Way to go Jess!


 My happy helpers/ cheerleaders!
 Handsome group of boys and not too bad of football players either!
 Photo bomb!
 It was a fun filled 2 hours of all things boy including potty talk, burping, farting, snorting, armpit farting, wrestling, pushing and good old fun!



Happy 9th Tyler!!!



Little Tyler isn't so little anymore. Each year sneeks up on us and before we know it Tyler is another year older and wiser! This year 9 candles on the doughnut birthday cake he requested!

In the Denkers' family there are few birthdays around the beginning of October so we usually celebrate them with one big party!
