Elections and Field Trips

Today has been a big day for our family.

Particularly for our oldest.

Harrison was chosen (based on grades and a class vote) to run for 4th grade Student Council.

He's really excited, and we will be very busy this weekend

getting ready for him to campaign next week.

This morning he had to give his speech....something I thought my outgoing, talkative son would handle without thinking twice. I was wrong. He was a nervous wreck~ so out of character for him. I thought he was going to be sick before his turn, but thankfull he wasn't. He got up on stage and delivered his speech. We were really proud of him.

The school will vote next Friday....we'll see what happens. :)

After the speech I headed out for a field trip with this one...

....to a pumpkin farm. It's actually a Christmas Tree farm, not too far from where we live.

Very cool.

We went on a hayride....(check out the little farmer here)

...fed goats....

....and picked pumpkins.
Isn't his class cute? :)

They really are. Cute, I mean. And silly. And incredibly well-behaved.

This weekend is getting off to a great start. :)
