So Far This Fall

Cori had planted a couple of tomato plants in the Spring and has been enjoying her cherry tomatoes all summer long. Last week, she entered her tomatoes in the Newton Fall Fair and she won FIRST PLACE! She received a blue ribbon and everything. She was so excited i thought she was going to leave the ground and fly! She has carried that ribbon around and showed it to anyone who would listen.

We also took a nice trip to Fulton Farms where we picked out pumpkins and gourds, etc. The farm has some unique animals and Cori loved looking at the miniature horses and the varieties of ducks and chickens. When we came home, Cori painted her pumpkins and we have them displayed out front for all to see.

Cori also took a trip to the Troy Fire Department with her preschool class. She learned how to "Stop, Drop and Roll", she learned that you should never hide from the fireman in the case of a fire, how to call 911 in case of a fire, and how to check your door for heat when the smoke detector goes off. She was also able to sit in the big fire truck and "drive". It was a great trip. Cori and the other kids learned some valuable information and because it was on a Wednesday, Daddy was able to go along as a chaperone. Only one little glitch, Cori thinks that you "Stop, ROCK and Roll." Too funny!

Unfortunately, we can't share any pictures right now because our USB cable has mysteriously been unattached from the computer and no one, not even my informative 2 year old, knows where it is. Although i have a suspicion that the 2 year old herself is the culprit. As soon as we find the USB or venture out to buy a new one, we will post pictures.

Yay! Welcome back to blogging. I've miss you and Cori and Adam. And all the antics, of course. Granny already told me about the tomatoes and how excited Cori was. Granny was pretty dang excited too!
