Count Down to my birthday...21 days!

May 12th

We have some crazy weather around here, but this particular Tuesday it was going to be around 80*F, so we got out the little kiddie pool that my mother had left for us and had some fun!
Here we have little Pumpkin K.B, Princess, & Boo cooling off...Pancakes also left some floaties...Boo got "Dori" & Princess got "Nemo"I do not know for sure what Boo is doing here, it doesn't look so good!After snack time his tummy was kind of full!Pumkin K.Jo didn't love being in the pool, but she liked playing in the mud outside of it!

Day 3 outside...to the park!

Wednesdays are my slower days around here still, and last week we decided to take advantage of the nice weather and we walked to the park!

Boo had the most fun it seems...

Miss MR took a little snooze in the stroller (she was on her way down here)We had snacksThis is about the only smile I got out of Princess that day, she got stung by a wasp and was afraid of every bug after that!Enjoying snacksMiss KB was looking very summery and enjoyed the shade under the playground... Princess did take to climbing, she actually made it all the way to the top...but I couldn't be taking pictures of her while she was high!

*Just a little side note about Princess, on the way there we were walking and she said, "Mommy, stop to rest my toes, I need!" I just thought it was waaaayyy to cute!

A little fun at the Patch!

Princess is my little mommy and she loves to take care of the little ones when she can! You will hear her remind her Mommy that I forgot to give her the treat she earned for going potty, but otherwise she is perfectly contect getting little M to giggle away!

My Kids

Well, the blog has suffered a little bit in the last couple of weeks. I apologize, with all the interviews I have done and getting ready to have 4-5 more children in our home every day with Pumpkin Patch Daycare, AND having two little FOSTER boys around! Yeah, no joke! I know what we said in the past, but a friend of ours needed respite for 2 weeks due to her mothers 80th Birthday...so we said that we would watch the little ones while she was gone. It really hasn't been too bad, they actually go to daycare during the day so we have them from 5 pm ~ 9 am. The 1 year old is teething pretty bad at the moment, so that hasn't been much fun...but the two year old already helps put the toys in the RIGHT places and Princess & Sunshine love playing with him! My thing is making sure the toys are all in the right place...might be something that I have to get a little less crazy about with a home daycare, but we shall see.

Anyway, on the daycare front. We have 1 part time 15 month old little girl, and just got a confirmation call about an ADORABLE 6 week old girl starting next week/full time. I had another interview today and I really enjoyed that Mommy and would be happy to watch her 10 month old daughter 4 days a week! Those are the possibilities right now. I do have a couple that called to get information today, but have not set up an interview time yet...they have a 4 week old baby boy. Sunshine is hoping for some boys around...since he so far is the only one! Will keep you posted here.

As for those of you that just HAVE to have your fix of pics of our kids...I have three for you tonight. The first one has made an appearance before, of their shadows.

This one was on the 1st of October and I just love how the sun sparkles so pretty on the creek...notice which of the children is wet!

This is just before they threw the stick into the creek together! I love my kiddos and love seeing more and more of their personality EVERY day!
Check out Princess in this pic ~ this was her rock throwing stance! I don't make this stuff up...she is too funny!

Pumpkin Patch goes to the Park

Pumpkin Patch Daycare

As of today Pumpkin Patch Daycare is officially open for business! I am so excited about this as something in my has always wanted to own a business, and everything inside me loves children! Handsome and I have been praying about doing something like this for a while now, and the time has come! We are looking to have 6 children total (including Princess & Sunshine) and my goal is to have them all be 2 & under! But that isn't the way it would have to be, so we shall see who God brings into our home. At this point we have started with JH, a 15 month old little girl. She is a cutie, that is for sure. If you are in our neck of the woods and are in need of daycare, give Pumpkin Patch Daycare a call!
