Quirks and Cornbellies

It has been a loooong week! Preston was out of town (again), but with a few playdates and some help from my sister and my parents, we made it through!! I am so lucky to have family and friends around who are always willing to play with a 2 1/2 year-old that NEVER holds still or runs out of energy. Thanks!

Preston got back on Friday night, so on Saturday we decided to do something fun! It was a beee-yoooutiful day, so we decided to play outside. We went up to Cornbellies at Thanksgiving Point. Arden had a blast and ran us all ragged. There were toys to bounce on, things to climb, a huge haystack pile with slippery slides, some corn mazes, a little haunted house, a cow train, and all sorts of fun things for little kids to do. Here are some pictures of our adventure:

Here we are playing in the corn maze! Arden filled her pockets up with corn (something I didn't learn until we were getting her in her jammies that night and corn spilled everywhere when I took off her jeans).

Here is Preston pulling the kids through the maze in a wagon. We just went through the kiddie maze, which took us a good 20 minutes because we let Arden choose which way we went (well, until we got tired of going in circles).

Here is me and Arden going down the slide! She wanted me to come with her the first time or two, but after that she was fine by herself.

Here is Daxton just hangin' in his car seat. He was a good sport most of the day, and enjoyed being outside.

Here is Arden and Preston in the cow train! It was fun watching Preston try to get into and out of the train...sorry I have no video :)

All of us in front of the pumpkin tree. It would have been fun to see what it looked like at night, but we were tooooo tired to stick around and find out.

It was a fun day. Preston has to go out of town again this week, so that is a bummer for me, but hopefully his travelling will slow down soon! We miss him when he is gone!!!

My sister Amanda tagged me a while ago, and I am supposed to post 6 quirks about myself. So, here goes:

1. I change the radio stations in the car constantly. I pretty much drive with one hand on the wheel and the other on the radio buttons. It drives me crazy to listen to talking or commercials in the car, and I am always convinced there is a better song on a different station.

2. I go through sunglasses like crazy. I leave them EVERYWHERE. I usually have to buy two pairs at a time. Over the summer my sister-in-law gave me back three pairs I had left at her house, and I was so happy because I was just about ready to go buy more....but now I only have one pair left again.

3. I am afraid of dolls. Not stuffed animals, just dolls that are supposed to look like humans. Especially if they talk or move. Puppets too. I am worried they will start talking to me in the middle of the night.

4. I check my blog at least once a day to see if anyone has left me any comments. So, if you are one of those people who read my blog and never leave me a comment (you know who you are), be a pal and leave one. It makes my day.

5. I have a very sensitive gag reflex. I can't get x-rays at the dentist without gagging. I can't watch any shows where people are eating gross stuff because that makes me gag too.

6. I can't eat meat in the morning. No bacon, no sausage, definitely no steak & eggs. Even the smell of it in the morning grosses me out. I have lots of other meat quirks too (I can't eat meat off of a bone...I love to eat fish, but can't eat tuna...I can only eat a hot dog if I am actually at a baseball game, etc.).

Okay, now I tag Jayme, Shelly and Shauna (anyone else who feels quirky can play too.)
