So many, many things to be thankful for this year. In no particular order...

pumpkin patch.

This field trip was a month ago, but I realized this weekend that I never posted any of the pictures. 

And these little people are just too cute not to share... 

The kids thought it was hilarious that the cows were eating pumpkins...

It was just a tiny bit chilly that day...

Three of my favorite first graders...

This little guy makes me smile. Someone asked him the other day why he wears pajama pants to school all the time. He shrugged his shoulders and said, "They're comfortable." I'm actually kind of jealous that he can get away with that.  =) 

Most of my crew. One may have been off to the side... crying and pouting and refusing to get in the picture.

My favorite 1st grader...

Love this place so much. I think it's my favorite field trip every year. 

monster jeans.

Thank you, Pintrest... 

Lawson designed the one on the right. =)
