More Farm School

Can't say enough great things about The Children's Farm program for preschoolers. Wish I was a little closer to do their full time preschool program!

Harvest

When Anders broke his leg I was very thankful we had a trip to Iowa planned so I would have people to help me keep him entertained.

Uncle Brian and Farmer Scott even got him on a combine to harvest beans.

Great Grandma Dody has had a rough year health wise. I hadn't seen her in awhile but from what I had heard from family I had prepared myself to see a frail, old granny instead of my strong, independent Grandma. I was pleasantly surprised that she was the best I've seen her in years! Even made her famous roast with all the fixings.

This is what most pictures of Anders look like now adays. He is a stinker when the camera comes out. But it was too good of a picture of Grandma Jane not to include.

Grandpa Al's Balloons

Soooooo far behind on this blog so the next posts will be way out of order but there are some events too big to skip. We went to watch cousin Jeff coach Zephyr football on Grandpa Al's Birthday. Seemed like the perfect place to send him a balloon in heaven.

This year we put a note in the balloon. Had no idea what would come out of his three year old mind but this seems like a ligit question!

Daddy Day

When I work the weekends the boys are on their own. They seem to have too much fun without me :(

This weekend they even got crafty and made a gingerbread house.

Home depot has a building project for kids the first saturday of every month.

Then off to Shoreview Community Center to swim with cousin Olivia.

Tubing

Anders has been begging to do this since the first snowflake flew! 

Swimming Lessons

Anders started swimming lessons this fall. He loves them.

Mowing

Anders begs to mow every day! He follows Brian every step of the yard. Wish there was a chance this would be the case when he was a teenager!

BFFs

Raphaela came to visit so we had a big family sleepover at Jill's. So fun to get together with the next generation of Myrtles!

I wish there was always a 7 year old in Anders life!

Happy Birthday, Daddy

Pinehaven Farm

We visited Pinehaven Farm this fall. Anders loved it, especially the jumping pillow. We went on a rainy day and he basically had the pillow to himself.

 

If Anders could pick I'm pretty sure he would live at the corner of John Deere Dr and Allis Chalmers Rd.

Unfortunately it started to rain so hard they decided to close early but they gave us free passes to come back!

So we went back on a beautiful, crowded Sunday afternoon. The jumping pillow was super crowded and Anders collided with a big kid

and ended up here.

He had a hairline fracture that they splinted and he couldn't walk for A WEEK! But luckily it healed up in that week and no cast was needed.
