Today I felt like a real "soccer mom". Just substitute the soccer part for preschool. Ethan's class had a field trip to the pumpkin patch and I felt super ambitious and volunteered to drive and help with kids. Our 8 passenger van came in handy today. I took 3 extra kids in the van and I saw a new side of Ethan, the side that interacts with his peers in his life beyond Mommy. He was a real little boy as he goofed around with his friends. They had their own little jokes, little games, little sayings that I will never understand. It was fun to watch from the rear view mirror. Oh, and the premium sound system in the van really shined through as we blasted tunes from "The Wiggles" on the way there and back.
Like I said, this was an ambitious venture for me. I packed Lauren in the Snugli and wore my backpack-type diaper bag. I really looked the part. Hailey had so much fun running around and she just had to pick up every pumpkin she could. She even tried to pick up the gigantic ones that were as big as her. Sorry for the picture overload. I just couldn't help myself.
