Showing me the face he wanted carved into the pumpkin….
Helping clean out the pumpkin “nuts” (guts)…
Matthew’s pumpkin (“wif a nose wike me!”)…
Carving a jack-o-lantern face that Ian drew…
Carving my pumpkin after the boys went to bed…
Back in October, Mike and I took the boys to Kelkenberg Farm to check out their Fall Pumpkin Festival.
They really loved this water-pump-rubber-duck-racing-thingy…
Taking a pony ride…
Then it was time to go on our hayride…
Picking our pumpkins…
Number of photos taken by Amanda: 2,244
Number of videos taken: 65
Number of photos taken by Disney’s PhotoPass photographers: 138
I think they should call it the “Most Photographed Place on Earth.” 😉
Needless to say, I’m going to need some time to sort through all of these pictures.
Edited to add: I had to come back and share this. The same day I posted about how many pictures I took in Disney, the following article was posted on a Disney fan site. Here is the first sentence of the article: “Not only is it “The Happiest Place on Earth,” it’s also arguably one of the most photographedplaces in the history of the world.”
Orientation/Supply Drop-Off:
A train theme to start the year!
He immediately headed for the Play Doh:
Birthday board for both 3 year old classes:
Check out that class list….3 girls and 11 boys in his class this year.
(Apparently the Tu/Th class is the exact opposite – mostly girls with just a few boys. Strange, huh?)
Moms & dads leaving for the parents meeting. Matthew was clearly all broken up about us leaving the room. Please note that he’s the only child facing the bulletin board and ready for class to begin. LOL
The parents sneak back in for dismissal. Matthew doesn’t realize we’re there yet….
Ready for his name to be called:
Hugging the random [germ covered] class mascot?
Posing with mom and dad:
First day of school:
We had a little chalkboard photo shoot after Ian got on the bus…..
Cheese!!!
Hugging me. 🙂
Before walking in for his first d ay:
Hallway down to his classroom:
Monday/Wednesday class and their families:
Distracted by the chaos at drop off:
Immediately heading off to play with the toys despite the colossal amount of separation anxiety his classmates were experiencing!
“What? Oh yeah! Bye, mom!”
He may have been Mr. Independent at drop off but he was darn excited to see us at pick up time!
I love this boy more than words could ever begin to express.
Checking out his class on the way out:
After that, Mike and I took him to Chili’s for lunch (his request). He was super tired and barely ate but it was nice to have that one-on-one time with him!
So….that’s the belated 1st day of school pictures for Matthew. Better late than never, right? 🙂
