Field Trip to the Pumpkin Patch

Well, there's a first for everything, isn't there? And since the girlies have started Kindergarten, we knew there would be a lot of firsts for them. Last week was their first school field trip. AND... their first trip on a school bus! Wow! Two firsts in one day!

What makes me the most giddy was not only did I get to witness the firsts with my sweet girlies... but my hubs was there to witness it too! He took the afternoon off at work to surprise his girlies on their first field trip. It just makes me gush, just thinking about it. I was literally giddy the entire day. I just love when my hubs takes the day off to spend it with us. He said he was not about to miss their very first field trip, and I'm so glad he didn't.

It was so cute how the whole day went down. We started our day out just the same as we always do every week day... including Daddy heading off to work for the morning. We did our thing here at home and Daddy did his thing at work {little did the girls know that he was getting things settled at work so that he could take the rest of the day off to spend with us} So I dropped the girls off at school, and told them that the boys and I would see them in just a few short minutes {we would be meeting them at the pumpkin patch} then the boys and I headed home. And low and behold when we arrived home, Daddy was already there waiting for us. We hopped in his truck and headed to the pumpkin patch {we even had spare time to make a quick stop for some yummy hot cocoa [I have created monsters in my children, because every time we drive by ANY Dutch Bros, they exclaim... HOT CHOCOLATE!!!!???] Ummmm, yea. Whoops!} Any way... just as we were pulling into the parking lot, the bus had just parked and our girls {who were sharing a seat} were looking out the window as we drove by the bus and the look on their faces, was PRICELESS. We even watched them mouth the words... "That's Daddy!!!!" Oh, their little hearts were just tickled to pieces. It was a super fun field trip.

Memories to last a lifetime.

















In a more serious note...
Sending thoughts and prayers to the East Coast tonight. We have family along the East Coast, so our hearts go out to everyone affected by this terrible storm.
