Oh Christmas Tree..

Miracle on Main parade

This year Bug didn't walk in the parade with her dance school. It's lots more fun watching the parade. It was a cold friday night and Main street was very crowded. Bug, Mommy & Daddy found a spot and snuggled up with some hot chocolate and cookies that were being passed out courtesy of the city. It's great being a part of a community that has so many wonderful free activities. Bug was excited about her hot chocolate but not as excited about running after the candy. No one could have guessed that she came home that day from school sick with a tummy ache. After the parade was done it was the weekly family movie night topped off with some yummy homemade pizza.

from the mouth of Bug.....

Bug was listening to Mommy call different auto parts stores and decided to give Mommy some advice. Bug said, "Hey Mommy, you should call Safe Auto. They have everything you need." She finished it up with a nice little Safe Auto tune!

Bug asked Mommy if she could babysit her babydoll. Mommy said she charges 20 bucks. Bug replied, "well here's 50". Mommy said, "wow 50 bucks!" Bug responded, "gimme back the 50". Mommy asked, " well what about my 20 bucks?!" Bug said, " gimme back 30 then". Bug is one smart cookie!!!! Amazing!!!

Fall foliage tour

Bug and Mommy explored our county by driving the fall foliage tour. The tour wasn't as expected but seeing the Mohawk Dam was the most interesting. The views were beautiful. We are very blessed to live in such a beautiful part of the country.

Apple Butter Festival

Mommy, Bug and Daddy went to the Applebutter festival which is held at Roscoe Village every year. The smells of applebutter and kettle corn cooking on the kettle filled the air. Bug watched the blacksmith, beeswax maker, and the spoon maker at work. She made a wonderful manderine orange craft, decorated a pumpkin, made an acorn apple guy and got her face painted. It was the perfect fall day.

Devine Farms

Bug met up with her Grandma Tyna and Little Grandma (great grandma) at the pumpkin patch. She painted a pumpkin, played in the corn box, and got her face painted. The best part of the day was riding the barrel train ride and the wagon ride with her Grandmas! She has some awesome Grandmas!

First Kindergarten field trip!

Bug's class went to COSI for their first field trip. The bus ride was eventful as one bus broke down on the way there. The kiddos didn't seem to notice though. They were too busy socializing. Bug was in a group of 5 chaperoned by Mommy, Daddy and two other chaperones Uncle Millsie and Tiffany. The first stop was space. The kids had fun going into the imitation space shuttle. After lunch, it was time for the anticipated stop to see Clifford's learning center. Then onto Gadgets playing with the fun floating balls and down to the car lift which was the favorite by many of the kids. Last and wettest place was Ocean. With a neat atmosphere, the children had so much fun experimenting with water and getting inside a submarine submerged into water. With not a minute to spare the kiddos made it to the bus. After loading the kids onto the bus, Bug and Neeke got to go back into the museum and play in the kidspace. After leaving the museum, Bug and Neeke got to ride home together giggling and playing in the backseat. To continue a busy day, Bug just made it on time to dance class. It was also the last day of the fair and Bug begged to go. So off she went to the fair. Needless to say, she was one tired girl that night!
