Harvest Party Gone Wrong

Thursday was Grant's Harvest/Halloween Party at school and he was so excited! This year he is "Bruce the Shark" from the movie "Finding Nemo". All he talked about that morning was trick or treating and wearing his costume to school. Franklin and I told him that we were coming to school to be a part of his party and he seemed excited at the time. I dropped him off and told him we'd be back!

We got there promptly at 9:30 and came in to see the above and below pictures! Happy as can be!

Then Grant saw us and he became ... well... hysterical? We have no idea why but he cried and cried and cried to the point that Franklin and I had to walk out of the classroom. Thanks to some cuddling from Miss Amber he calmed down. While we were in the hall his music and Bible teacher sd "Is that Grant crying? He NEVER cries".

We managed to sneak in some pictures from the hallway, he didnt leave Miss Amber's side.

If you click on the picture below, you can see how red his little eyes are and the huge tear rolling down his face :(

Finally it was time to go "Trick or Treating" from classroom to classroom and I got to go with him. Even though he was holdingon to me he was still whining in b/t stops.

Here are all the kids lined up! SO CUTE!

Grant... still crying!

A sad, but cute shark!

We still arent sure why he was so upset but after we left, I called the school to make sure he was ok. She told me he was enjoying his pizza party and he was fine. Oh well... after that we headed to the mall for a "costume playdate" with friends (more on that later) and he was fine. I'm starting to rethink attending his Christmas Party, I think we interrupted his day!

Pumpkin Patch Time!

Last weekend we visited two Pumpkin Patches and Grant LOVED THEM! The first one we went to was in Gallatin at Shuckles and Papa G and DeeDee treated all of us!!! Kelly and the boys also joined us and the boys were so happy to be together!

This picture baffles me because this was a big sand play area for the kids... do you see what I see? Is that MY SON in the sand???????? Remember the beach? Crumbies? He HATED the sand! Well, now he loves it, so maybe our next trip will be more fun, or maybe I just need to take him to the beach in tennis shoes! hahah!

After crawling through some tunnels, climbing on hay and sliding on slides, Grant shot some hoops with Papa G!

He shoots he scores!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My little All-Star!

Next came pony rides! Grant was super excited and happy when his Daddy was next to him while getting on the pony!

Then this lady came over, and his tune changed, after one little circle he wanted off!

Daddy to the rescue to get him down!

Papa G and DeeDee with the Clan!

Before we left, we took a hay ride around the farm, all the boys were exhausted but we had a fun time! Thanks Papa and DeeDee!

Then on Sunday we headed over to Smyrna to Walden Farms! We went there last year and had a blast! Grant's sinus' were really bothering him but he still had a good time! He was "whimpy" most of the day and had a meltdown when it was time to go.

He absolutely LOVED all of the farm animals that were there!

He cracked up laughing at these goats, esp when they licked his hands! (Granny dont worry, there was hand sanitizer!).

Last year he loved this tractor, and this year was no different, he did NOT want to get off it!

We took a rest for some cider and a cookie!

All in all it was a good day and he had fun! My only complaint was the weather, who wants to go to a pumpkin patch in dry 78 degree weather???? Bring on the fall weather!

More Halloween fun to come!!!!!!!!

Blue Eyes!

Lately Grant is very interested in what color our eyes are! He says "Mommy green eyes, Daddy blue eyes, Grant blue eyes". So a week or so ago I asked him to "show me his blue eyes and smile" and here are the results of the pictures! I thought they were so cute!

By the way, no girl would ever be so lucky to get eyes that bright and eyelashes that long, I guess thats why we have Maybeline!
