Each fall, I drag my child(ren) to Manfredi Farms, a cute little place nearby with lots of fun animals, pumpkins, hay rides...all the fun autumn activities. Of course this year I had to bring Sam so that he could take some photos with his big brother. Jack wasn't very into the whole thing when he was an infant, and Sam was less so. You'd think these kids had something against being posed on a stack of scratchy hay. Sheesh.
Still, it was a gorgeous day today (yes, today! as behind as I am on blogging, I'm so on top of this one!) and we had a nice time. Jack was hilarious, per usual. When I was putting him in his Halloween shirt (because not only do I drag these kids there, I make them dress the part), he asked what was on his shirt. I told him there was a mummy on it and he said "nooo, my mommy's right HERE", pointed to me, then hugged me. I cracked up, then repeated the scenario about a hundred more times.
While checking out the animals, Marc was telling Jack that goats will eat anything, even Jack's shoe. Then he pretended to give Jack's shoe to a goat for a snack. Jack told the goat, "Don't eat my shoe, goat! It's gross!". Seriously, this kid kills me.
Sammy survived his first trip to Manfredi's just fine, and I'll bet he can't wait to go back next year. That's what I'll tell myself anyway, as I stick him in some goofy Halloween outfit and make him sit in a horribly uncomfortable place...my poor kids!

| A Michigan State flag! In Rhode Island! |

| Which is perfect because if there's anything my kids love more than dressing up for Halloween, it's dressing up for Michigan State football! (Despite yesterday's loss to the Wolverines...) |
