Today we went to the pumpkin patch. We rode the bus.... say what you will about the length of the bus that the Northrups ride!
I have been telling Mom for quite some time that it is Paco and Barney's birthday, so today we celebrated with a little party. We made cake, invited some of their friends (Mr. Bear, Bunny, Cooper and Claire), and their favorite food, Pizza!
Hey, Grama Ann and Grandad! See, I do smile! We went to the whitewater center as a family and we kids got to climb on the rocks while Dad swam, I mean kayaked, down the river.
and P.S. here's a kiss for you guys!
Well, here we are, middle of the day - house is a wreck, Cooper is carrying a halloween basket and Claire has a bucket on her head that she thinks is SO funny! She is not the first little Northrup to get a kick out of a bucket on her head - when I was in day care, Mom and Dad logged onto the internet live feed of my classroom and caught me with a bucket on my head, too. Don't worry, if bucket-head is indicative of success in life, Claire will end up being a genius just like me - Emma
Dear Grama Ann and Grandad, thank you so much for the "boost" that you gave me for my birthday. It has really come in handy here where Mom, for some reason, closes the little lock that I can't reach from the floor. I have started my Christmas list and it includes a lighter, knife set and ladder. Thanks so much! Love, Cooper
What a corny family I have! Today we took a little trip to the corn maze, where we got TOTALLY lost, but I had a ball!
Who is in charge of this bunch anyway? Where are we going?
The flag let folks know where we are. If we don't have the flag, we could be lost forever until they mow down the maze in mid-November. Good thing there is corn to eat!
Horray, we made it ! Thanks to fearless Emma, who led us through using the map! It only took us an hour and 1/2, which is apparently good with kids our size at the helm of direction!
