Climbing the rungs

We are figuring out how much work it is to be home owners! We are painting the North side of our house this weekend. Jocelyn of course was out "helping" us. She did pretty well. She didn't get in the paint too much. Tried to touch the lower part as I was painting but overall did well with that. When she was near her daddy is when it got interesting. She ate mud--yes the red dirt we have around here made her mouth turn that color for awhile. I have no idea how much she ate but she had quite the residue in her mouth. Later she was near the ladder dad was using and before he knew it she had climbed up to the second rung. She did this not once, not twice but three times. By the third time she was getting pretty good and almost made it up to the top (dad was supervising at that point). We had our camera phone out there but not the real camera so I can't load that picture up on here. It was quite the evening. We definitely have a climber!

Our first trip to the pumpkin patch

We went to the pumpkin patch in Dorrance with our Parents as Teachers group. It was sprinkling but still fun. Jocelyn liked getting in the hay and riding in the red wagon. She got her first pumpkin too! We had smores well, Jocelyn had the graham cracker with a tiny amount of marshmallow :)
