More Ren Fest

Here are more pictures of the Festival from Saturday.

Cyprus had a blast

We got to go Trick or Treating through out the village

 Once she got the hang of it, she was good to go! We made sure she used her manners.

The best part was eating the treats

She was the prettiest pumpkin there 

With enough candy to keep her busy, we got to watch a few shows. 

 

 Cyprus got to meet the Queen




And of course what would a festival be like without the animals.

David came to play as well. 

Super Fun

I love these men

And of course a side makes everything better

The day was a success

And we are DONE

The Pumpkin Patch

 We went to the pumpkin patch today, and boy, we did tons of exciting things!

 First we rode in a tractor to pick our pumpkins

 There were swings

 and my size tractors

 Oh yeah, daddy and mommy were there also

 We got 4 pumpkins!

 I'm super tall!

But what kind of day would it be without a toddler meltdown?

 

 Then I got to slide a hundred and twenty seven times

The day finished off with me showing off my mad balancing skills!

Fun at the Fair

Photo Reel of the past four weeks.

 Cyprus is always wearing someone shoes...

 I guess this is her generation

 Saturday morning breakfast

 Josh and I celebrated out 5th anniversary a little late this year by going to see the Braves. Since Cyprus only knows baseball as "Chipper" we wanted to watch him in one of his last games.

 Such the funny one

 There are times when she does stop, but not for long

 Beautiful

And Silly

September

The Apple festival was last week. Emmanuel Lutheran Church passed out water to anyone who needed a little refresher. We also had crafts for the kids. We were one of the few free booths there. Who would have thought that small town USA would have sported such an important celebrity.

 Cyprus pretty much figured out the water passing out pretty quickly. She went to the cooler, grabbed a water, and ran to someone on the street yelling "agwa"

She was very useful

 The other kids were apprehensive about getting water from a toddler, but the adults thought it was "Just the sweetest thing!"







 The Collins family has been quite busy with school starting back. Josh is in the grad school swing, and I am driving 45 minutes to work each day for my job that I adore. Cyprus is always into something and pictures are normally blurry. She has started to say sentences that are important to her, such as, "daddy got pockets?" and "I did it". She repeats everything, which makes conversations less vibrant, to say the least. We will work harder taking pictures.

The Beginning of September

Cyprus has started really enjoying books. She is listening to them, and answering simple questions. She likes to find characters in the books, especially animals. 

This afternoon it rained, we were still able to have a dance party on the porch and open up the new sidewalk chalk that Josh got her. 

Abby was even allowed to participate in the outdoor activities without her leash on. Once the fence disappeared back in May Abby got the short end of the leash.... literally.

Poor Shelby, she never saw it coming.....

And even after Cyprus drew on her with chalk, Shelby still hung around. 

Yesterday while we were at Walmart, we had a bad parenting experience and gave Cyprus some coke slushee. However, we turned our mistake into a positive event. When we got home we gave Cyprus a shovel and a liter of coke, she is going to save Boo & Pops thousands of dollars on their de-molding project!
