Pumpkin Patch

Saturday we went out to the Pumpkin Patch with the Lake's. It was a lot of fun. We went thru the corn maze, took a hayrack ride, picked out and weighed our pumpkins and played on the haystacks. The girls had fun picking out their own pumpkin and then we picked out one big one.

After the pumpkin patch we all came back to our house and ate some taco soup that Heather made and watch the KU game. The girls decided that they would rather watch a movie in the office. I thought this was cute!

Recycling

Maddie's school has been teaching the kids about recycling and she has been very interested in it so I decided it was time for the Holopirek house to get with it. I decided on 4 categories of stuff that we would recycle and went out and bought 4 totes. I labeled them with their proper name and pictures to help Maddie understand. She is loving it! She looks foward to taking the stuff out to the garage and is always asking me if we can recycle this and that. And, another benefit is that our trash dumpster has not overflowed this week. Here's a few pictures.

The Sharing Bag

Maddie had the "Sharing Bag" today at her school. Of all the cool toys and things she has, this is what she wanted to share with her class.

Pink Boots and Piggy Tails

Who is this young lady and where is my baby??

weekend update

Well I'm tired of this cold weather ruining our plans already! Friday, I was supposed to be a driver for Maddie's class to the pumpkin patch but they had to re-schedule because of all the rain.....which is a good thing because daddy might not have been too happy with little muddy shoe prints all over the van! Saturday, we were supposed to go to Salina and meet our friends, the Pekarek's who moved away this summer, at the Rolling Hills Refuge. Unfortunately it was going to be way too cold and possibly rainy and snowy. So, we stayed in Emporia once again.

Saturday night we had some friends over. The guys watched the K-State game and then Saturday Night Live. Us girls just stayed upstairs and talked. Kynzie got her first CRUSH! She fell in love with one of the guys that was over. After laying on him and rolling all over him, following him all over the house including up and down the stairs to get food, spitting milk all over him because she thinks it's cute to not swallow the milk in her mouth, putting her stinky feet in his face and tooting on his lap, we decided that it was LOVE! For some reason, she really clinged on to him. Sorry CoCo, you might be replaced!

Sunday was church all morning and staying inside trying to catch up on sleep all afternoon. :)

The girls in their glasses

I was looking through old pictures and came across this one of Maddie when she was about Kynzie's age. I can't believe how much they resemble each other right down to the hair.

Joe Dirt

Last night, Maddie and McKynzie were playing in the toy room and they both came upstairs and this is what Kynzie's hair looked like. Maddie had taken the hair pretty's out of her own hair and put them in Kynzie's hair. I was actually pretty impressed at how good she did. Although Matt and I always joke that Kynzie is going through her "Joe Dirt" look right now. Don't worry Kynzie, Maddie went through a "Joe Dirt" hairstyle too! hahaha
