Friday was a busy day at our house. First it was my birthday. I turned 35 and am so incredibly blessed by the people in my life. When Zoe woke up, she got her tea cart ready with all the things I would love for breakfast. She made me breakfast in bed. I got coffee with toast with peanut butter. She even sang to me and did a special birthday dance. She and grandma made me a bag that Zoe colored and it says, "MOM" on it. Inside was fabric from the Mama Said Sew line of fabric. She told me they made a special trip to the quilt store just to get that for me. So precious.
My mom bought me a Block of the Month for Sew Spooky. I can't wait to start sewing!
After breakfast in bed and all the birthday festivities, Zoe and I had a special date - a class field trip to Greenbluff to the "apple patch" as Zoe and her friends call it. We had so much fun. The kids learned about the importance of bees to the apple patch and how to pick an apple. Interesting fact - you turn the apple upside down. If it comes off the tree with the stem, it's ready. If it doesn't come off, it's not ready to be picked.
Zoe got a gala apple.
Then it was off to the maze, where there were about 10 different cut-out places to get your picture taken.
Then we got to pick pumpkins!
They even had a teepee and some information on the Spokane Indian Tribe and then we got to go on a hayride. It was the absolute best place to go for a field trip. The farmers were so kind and great with the kids.
One of Zoe's favorite parts - finding HUGE dandelions to make wishes from.
After the field trip, we took off to Orofino, Idaho to see daddy. I can't think of a better way to spend my birthday that experiencing life with my favorite people.
