chaperone

yes, i did it again...

decided that i should be a chaperone for another munki field trip...

this time with 4th graders.

i think they were even louder than when in 3rd grade.

we went to suter farms pumpkin patch and corn maze.

the field trip itself was fun and we had perfect weather.

the bus ride there, however, dear god.

cram 50 kids into a big metal box on wheels

and they all feel the need to talk...a lot...

loudly.

and i won't even go into detail about the highway driving

and bumps and butts and ouches.

my body doesn't agree with bouncing around on a school bus.

suter farms was amazing...

and beautiful...

and mr. & mrs. suter were amazingly wonderful people.

the kids had a blast...

they got to run through pumpkin fields to find their perfect pumpkin...

munki, always heads for the smaller & different pumpkins...

(since an unexpected amount of parents showed up) 

this was my small group of kids/girls for the day...

munki, sophie, and haley

(all red heads =])

and of course the red headed boy (aka dylan, yes that dylan =]) was there too...

♥

the girls taking off to go through the corn maze...

(look at all of that red hair!)

it was a great day...

i was exhausted last night.

being responsible for one child is one thing...

being responsible for kids that don't belong to you, 

and watching them go racing through a corn maze...

whew!

and look at the aerial view of this corn maze at suter farms...

(in case you didn't click the link above)

it was a good day.

~*~

and this weekend is munki's birthday weekend!

well, her birthday is on monday

which conveniently falls on columbus day...so, she has no school.

so, we're making it a long weekend event...

which is how your first double digits birthday should be!

i  still cannot believe i will have a 10 year old in a few short days.

have a great weekend!!!

xox.
