Isabella's Fourth Birthday

Isabella celebrated her fourth birthday on Saturday!  Our little girl is growing up SO fast!

Pumpkin Patch

Sunday we enjoyed the beautiful fall weather and went to the pumpkin patch!  The new favorite this year was the zip line.  Of course the hay bale jump will always rank high on the list.  Isabella found the smallest pumpkins ever.  One is called Cotton Candy and the other two are little tiny white ones.  Isaac on the other hand had great difficulty finding the perfect pumpkins.  He had standards to look for.

Fun in the Sun

Last week Isaac and Isabella took advantage of the warm weather.  They first started out playing on the water slide.  Then, they progressed to the swimming pool.  By the time I had gotten home the contents of the swimming pool was in the sandbox.  They were building dams and ponds.  Of course this looked like TOO much fun for the neighbor kids to pass up.  They also joined Isaac and Isabella playing.

Notice how Isabella is the only one actually in the wet sand?  She has been paying for it ever since.  Her ecema reared its ugly head major big time after this.  We are still trying to get it under control.
