First Field Trip: Alternately Titled DISTRACTED

This has been a busy week and I have several things I could blog about, but since it has been over a week since Sawyer's field trip, I will post a few pics from that. I love fall. It is such a busy time of year though and I wish I could hit a pause button and just finish our dossier. It is constantly on my mind DISTRACTING me from other things. For goodness sake, I can't even post about going to the pumpkin patch without thinking about it. I was so glad I got to go with Sawyer on his first field trip. I left Jax with Daddy for the morning, so that I would not be DISTRACTED. His Pre-K class went to a real pumpkin patch. We learned all about different types of pumpkins and the kids were able to pick two to bring home with them .
Sawyer picked out a pie pumpkin, first! You can tell it is a pie pumpkin because of the long stem. The "meat" inside is sweeter than other pumpkins and perfect for making a pie. I seriously learned a lot on this pre-k field trip. So far we have not made a pie out of our pumpkin and I doubt it will happen, because as I said I am DISTRACTED by other things in my life.
We all took a hay ride to scope out the pumpkins. It was so much fun hanging out with Sawyer and his friends. I made lots of new four year old friends that day.
Ok, so I just have to say please say a prayer that this will be a productive week for us as far as our dossier is concerned. I want to be able to focus on getting it done without DISTRACTION. We all have physicals scheduled and I really want to turn in everything for our home study this week. I am so ready to just focus on my family again instead of being DISTRACTED by paper work.

  1. I remember that feeling! I felt that the dossier distracted me from my family. But now I need my family to keep me distracted from the wait!
