Mazie Monday

Mazie has her mama’s ears.  I saw that the minute the doctors handed her to me in the hospital.  So wearing pony tails won’t be a big deal if she doesn’t mind the wind flapping the tops a little!  I am very sorry she inherited that feature from me…

But she does have a great smile.  It takes a little to get that “real” smile out of her when I am trying to take a picture.  But when it does come out, it’s just perfect!

She is super smart.  I know many of you know this already but she is constantly thinking of something to solve.  Her brain never rests!

I suppose that’s a good thing.  She is a sharp one!

She loves being a part of her robotics team at school.  The kids do everything from building to programming.  Last week she programmed her robot to put a bone back together.

Should I be worried?  Yeah, I thought so…

I love you, Mazie Moo.  Even if you can figure out what my computer is supposed to be doing and I can’t!

The Pumpkin Patch

Today was Jamie’s field trip to The Pumpkin Patch.  Since Jeremiah doesn’t have class on Fridays and was able to take Jacob to his gym class, I was able to go along and chaperone.  It was lots of fun!

The kids were let loose to climb the haystack…

and go through the small hay bale maze…

and do a little pumpkin bowling…

and enjoy the fast slides…

As groups we went on the hay ride .  Another mom took this one of the two of us…

Then there was time to get some posed shots of Jamie being an ear of corn…

and with this cute little scare crow display…

We ate lunch on hay bales all together and then picked out pumpkins.   No, Jamie did not bring this one home.  They were told they had to carry their pumpkins all the way back to school.  She just wanted to pick this one up.  She did settle for a smaller one but it was just perfect for her!

The kids left to go back to school where they weighed and measured their pumpkins and I left the pumpkin patch for home.  I was happy to be able to spend the morning with Jamie!

Friday Five

1.  The board break-a-thon was a hit!  At the time of the event, our schools raised over $37,500!  Since then the total is above $43,000.  So thank you to those of you who helped us reach and surpass our goal!

2.  Mazie and Jamie did very well with their breaks…

3.  Jeremiah did take pictures of me but they were really blurry.  Can’t blame him since he was managing the boy during the event.  Not an easy thing to do these days!

4.  Jacob donated $5 to break a board.  He did it so fast that I couldn’t even snap a picture.  But the pride on his face says it all! Don’t you think?

5.  I made 3 dozen Elmo cupcakes today!  Someone ordered them for their daughter’s second birthday party.  I will post pictures on the new business blog…stahrscakes.com!  Check it out by clicking on the blog button on the sidebar!

Happy Friday!
