Vala's Pumpkin Patch

Vala's Pumpkin Patch is the epitome of Halloween here in Nebraska. It is a number of acres of fun stuff to do with kids around Harvest Time. This year we waited until October 30th to go, and with some friends, it was a beautiful day and there was hardly anyone there! (however, we did go in the morning!) Here's Lukka watching the Old Scarecrow Gang perform.
Here's our friends! M and M checking out the sights!
Lukka loved the John Deer tractor! He could hardly fit his little bum on the seat and reach the wheel at the same time, but he didn't care! A farm boy for sure, we'll have to get him together with his cousins who live on a farm, they could show him a thing or two on that tractor!
They have a small area where there are goats, mules, and even a camel to feed! Although we didn't have any change with us, they still stuck out their noses to be rubbed! A hayrack ride, a 'haunted mine' and some great harvest food made this one fun fieldtrip!

How To: DIY Sand/Water Table

How To: Build A Sand/Water Table for Under $30 ! Sorry this took me so long to blog, but I had to have a tool list and full instructions before I could do so. A little history on my love for the sand/water table . I love the idea behind tools for tiny hands, i.e. the Montessori Method , and like to have Lukka 'figure things out for himself', even when he is playing. I try to have the most simple and basic toys available for 3 reasons: a) simple toys generally have less parts, which means less of a hassle for me b) simple toys inspire way more creativity and imagination than do 'exact replica' toys c) they are much more aesthetically pleasing to look at, therefore, not making every nook and cranny of our house an eyesore! I know the last reason is just for me, but it's true. Plastic things don't generally last 1/2 as long as wooden or fabric toys, and they are unattractive. For this reason, I started to look for a wooden sand/water table as opposed to a pl...

We've Gone and Done It

We are in the midst of packing up, and moving. Not just any move, but The Move we've been trying to accomplish for years now. We're heading up to (Washington) Canada. In the last couple of months Stefan had been talking to a potential employer up in Richmond, British Columbia , and after a very swift interview process they offered him the job. Small and large details aside, he accepted and plans to start on February 25th. We leave one week earlier, on the 18th. That's literally just over 2 weeks from when you will read this. We told family and close friends first, and while we haven't been keeping it a huge secret, our church, as a whole, did not know until last night because it was then we could tell everyone at our seasonal congregational meeting what our plans were in person, and with many of them all at once. I didn't want to say anything online until that happened. We've been steadily spending heaps of time with friends and family, all while slowly p...
