The Little Things: Apple Picking

Apple Picking

One of the BEST things about where we live is all of the fun fall activities. About 30 minutes from our house is this amazing apple farm (0ther things too). Last year I took the kids apple picking and they had a blast picking the apples off the trees, so I thought "hey lets do it again this year" and once again they had a blast! This year the fun was a little different. Buster was not about to touch an apple, he wouldn't even throw them into the bag like a ball. Instead he was content eating his "roll" a.k.a bagel and chasing after his sister. KB picked apples to eat, I think she had 4 in the 2 hours we were there. Her other favorite pass time was running through the trees and finding the rotten apples on the ground. I was happy to pick the apples and our family has enjoyed the apples very much. We have plans to go back a couple more times for all the different kinds of apples!KB picking an apple she loved picking and eating, but the little yellow flower weed was a blast to pick!

It was such a fun day the light sprinkle of rain, and friends made the day even more fun, I love Fall!

Jen said...: My kids and I just went apple picking yesterday. For some reason my kids eat way more fruit and veggies when they get to pick them themselves, so I love it. Your pictures are so cute!; September 18, 2008 at 8:53 AM

Philosophical phrases from the Bee's

After our power came back on KB very excitedly yelled "we have lightricity"

KB's favorite new phrases are... "are you thinking what I'm thinking", and "I don't have an idea about that". She is also really into people coming over on her designated time. All the way home from church she cried because she wanted a friend to come over (problem I didn't have enough dinner to share). I said well maybe we can call and see if they can come over tomorrow. KB's response "but I wont want them to play theeeeeeeen!" Oh what do ya do?

Out of the blue KB says "mom, say I one the arm" I hate to admit it took me longer than it should have to realize we were playing the "I 8 the arm" game. Anyway as we were playing, I told KB "I 2 the alligator", she cracked up and said I didn't achoo the alligator I coughed the alligator.

Yesterday I was sitting down, and unprompted, KB walked up to me and, pointing to my left eye said, "Daddy, that is your good eye." I replied, "Oh really?" She continued, indicating my right eye, "and that is your bad eye." She then spit in my "bad" eye and said, "Now I am getting your bad eye wet." I told her that if she spit on me again, I would have to look at her with my bad eye, and needless to say, a few seconds later, I was looking at her with the bad eye.

About a week ago, KB went to the bathroom and was talking to Swifty while she was going. This is what she said, "Dropping a load makes your tummy feel better, that is why I still have the coughs". I wasn't quite able to follow the logic behind her statement.

Keeping in mind KB was just told she could not watch a movie because it was Sunday, she said to me, "Mom sometimes it's not Sunday!"

Buster's New Tricks

Talks like Crazy, his favorite phrase is "No MAMA", he likes it so much he tries it out in different voices.

More new tricks... Buster can now bark like a dog (although it sounds more like Tim Allen's grunting on Home Improvement), bop his lips like a fish, growl like a tiger, say dayers, in reference to his big sis., he runs, and loves to tease us. He also says dace for me to dance with him. He must have things a certain way and until he talks better we are not quite sure what that way is. Hopefully we will know soon.
