Red Wolf Farm

Like I mentioned before, this past weekend we went to the Pumpkin Patch. We hopped on the hay wagon and rode back to the REAL fun!


Chatham climbed on bales of hay

Ran through tunnels and went down slides

Played in the kernels

and even posed for some pictures.....

But THEN- he saw them....the one so marvelous......

"acter"

Finally we were able to go pick out our pumpkin

All in all, I'd have to say we had a GREAT time!!!

a busy weekend

This weekend was a bit busier than most- and I'll have more pictures coming from a lot of stuff we did. But here are some details.


We went to Newton-Conover's homecoming game Friday with the Cadwallader's. We sat with the Stewart's and Mullinax's and all the kids had fun jumping and cheering. (see pictures from previous post)

Saturday started out with "old timey pictures" for Chatham in Hickory, then we picked up Devin and headed to the pumpkin patch- Chatham was in heaven!!!

We strolled around Walmart, looking for a winter hat for Chatham. Then it was off to Gram and Poppy's for the night (Aunt Beth and Cousin Thomas were in town).




While Chatham was occupied I ran another 5k in downton Newton-



my goal was to beat my time from 3 weeks ago (37 minutes and 49 seconds). I had Chris with me for motivation and he did just that....some how he talked he in to going a bit faster than my normal pace and I finished the race in 36 minutes and 25 seconds (just 1 second ahead of Chris- because he refused to beat me- haha, what a great guy he is!!!!)



Sunday I taught the 2 and 3 year old sunday school class with Suzy and then they came over (the Cadwallader's not the Sunday School Class) for lunch and arts & crafts. We made leaf wreaths and Fall Placemats for/with the kiddos. We didn't get the pumpkins carved before the Panther game- so they'll have to wait till our Tuesday night dinner date.



But Chatham (and Devin) were proudly sporting their Panther gear as the team FINALLY pulled off a win this season!!

Football Friday Night

We just got back from Chatham's first Red Devil Football Game- tonight is homecoming....

It was cold, and I didn't get many good pictures....

But we had fun- and definitely showed our spirit!

Apple Festival 2010

**WARNING: Picture overload**

We kept Cara this weekend while Chris and Suzy went to a wedding in Wilmington- it was SO fun to have TWO toddler- and even more fun to have a GIRL!!!!!

Suzy let me come over that Thursday and pick out clothes for Cara- of course I picked all dresses- except for the matching monster outfits she and Chatham sported to the Apple Festival! They were SO cute and of course (as I wanted) everyone thought they were twins.

Lisa was keeping Harrison so she brought him and Lauren with us to the festival- they aren't quite as easy to take a picture of. But we settled with a few without smiles.

Walking through town we saw some tribal dancing and saw Sir Purr

Harrison was a bit more apprehensive than Nick

We took a hayride around the play area and Chatham LOVED it! The wagon was pulled by a real tractor and he reminded us of that about every 7 seconds!
I think Nick and Cara missed each other- they stuck together on the ride.

Below are 5 of the 7 Cadwallader's. Nana and Pepaw kept Nick for the weekend and tagged along too- what a good looking bunch!

Then we headed to the petting zoo- I have a lot of pictures of the back of the kids heads, so I settled with posting a picture of the hedgehog.



Last year it was SO cold you couldn't see that Devin and I had on our Harvest Orange, so this year I took a picture. Devin only lets me dress us alike about twice a year, so I have to capture the moment.

Who says....

Who says only the students get to have fun!

Who says the Central Office is stuffy!

Who says you have to grow up!

Who says adults in an office setting aren't creative and unique??

This is the kind of Holiday Cheer we have at Newton-Conover City Schools!!!!!
