Today was a gorgeous day. Since we were not able to meet up with Auntie Chris and cousin Ella in Delavan this weekend, Nate and I decided that we would take Natalie after church to pick out her pumpkins. She was so excited before we left that she was singing or chanting, “The pumpkin farm, the pumpkin farm!”
Last weekend, we spent some time up in central Wisconsin for Nate’s 15 year reunion from high school. We had a good time seeing his friends as well as grandparents. Natalie was exhausted by a little after Noon on Sunday. We decided to head back at this time. She slept all the way back home. When we pulled into the driveway, we decided to sit in the car and let her sleep. A few minutes later, she opened her eyes and asked, “Isn’t the car working?” It was very cute!

Here are another couple cute stories from this past week. I have been taking Natalie to a play group at church on Thursday mornings. They play, have a little snack, read a book, make a craft, and then sing some songs with our church’s music director. This week, while the children were singing and doing the actions for the “Wheels on the Bus,” I overheard Natalie saying false start since the actions for that part of the song and the penalty in football are the same motion.

On Thursday night, Nate and Natalie had a special evening together while I went to dinner with some good friends. The two of them were driving in the car and were looking at the moon. Nate was explaining to her how the full moon had a face on it, and Natalie proceeded to ask, “Did the moon eat?” Since the moon was full, that only makes sense to a two-year old that the moon was full from eating. I love the connections she continually seems to make with so many things.
