We decided to take an hour long jaunt to Montrose, MN to visit the Fall Harvest Orchard and the kids loved every minute we were there. The kids loved being able to hold various baby animals...the first of which were three baby kittens...
I loved how eager all of these little goats were to be fed...how cute are they all lined up with their heads under the gate!
The baby chicks along with the kittens were the kids favorite animals...the craziest thing was that none of the baby animals were being attended by staff...this whole orchard is just wide open for children to go up and play with any/all of the animals.
These were my favorite of all the baby animals...I REALLY wanted to hold the baby pigs but all three mama pigs started snorting and nudging their heads if you got too close and I didn't feel like getting attacked by mama pigs so we just looked from afar...they were super cute though...little black and pink piglets...I don't know why I didn't take a picture...
Not sure how they knew the cutest kids in MN were coming on that particular day but they put a sign out for us! =)
Ayris had been asking to have another mommy/daughter hotel date so here are a few shots of her jumping on the bed (with my ghetto camera...which is why these are grainy)
This girl seriously loves to pose for the camera...
Doesn't she just look like she'll be trouble when she gets older?!?
In other news, if there weren't already 101 reasons to work on perfecting this thing called being a mom, Ayris' teacher, upon picking her up from school today, tells me that she was SO excited about our plans tonight. It took me a minute to realize her teacher was referring to the hotel...seriously though, it seems like her teacher is always mentioning this and that, that Ayris has told her in the 2.5 hours she's at school. It makes you stop to think...what else is my child telling her teachers? You start questioning if all of your mom behaviors are going to be okay in the eyes of the teacher...like all the super cool mom moments that you'd like to forget but that seem to remain in the forefront of the kids minds. I just need someone to write a legit "How To Be The Perfect Mother" book...
At least I have perfected the role of perfect wife =) I'm such a planner; I know it drives Chris nuts:
Me: So do you think when the next kid is born that we should just take every other night shifts instead of doing like you take half a night and I take the other half of the night? That way, at least every other night we're getting a full nights worth of sleep?
Chris: Are you pregnant?
Me: No, why?
Chris: Because I'm thinking we could probably discuss this closer to when the baby is born. You know...after the plan has changed a good 5 or 6 times between now and then?
