Broccoli

This morning Jacob asked me for broccoli...for a moment I as puzzled. The kid doesn't eat vegetables that look like vegetables. Then I listened to him a little more. He was singing Veggie Tales (when he next asked for celery, I knew...we don't do celery in our house - if you know me, you know why I don't eat it!) He wanted to watch. And by watch, I mean, watch the theme song over and over and over and over and then stop watching when the movie actually starts.

Here's a picture from his birthday with his dear teacher, Mrs. Shockley.

Turner Farm

Today we had a fabulous trip to Turner Farm. We went with some family and friends. We got to pick turnips from a field and feed them to some sheep. We got to see some baby pigs, and then we got to pick our own pumpkins. We had a great time. And then I had some fun editing the pictures (I'm just learning how...playing with Picasa - free on google). Here is some of the fun we had!

 Jacob was very brave for being so little.

 Chris and Linnea...too cute to not put on the blog!

 My fave!

 Another favorite - Jacob and cousin Ollie (two weeks apart in age)

 Making sure we know which pumpkin belongs to them!
