It was a Banner Week at Fancy Pants Ranch.

Both kids went on field trips (plural).

Trixie visited a pumpkin farm and a fire station. Best parts: corn maze and pole, respectively.

She was able to select a pumpkin and decorated it with a Sharpie:

It basically looks like Adam Levine’s arms to me.

MGM went to a cave (!) and the same fire station. Best parts: finding “diamonds” and the fact that the fire fighters had THREE refrigerators.

This was unbelievably sweet: MGM was so excited that they let the kids collect rocks at the cave, and he found several diamonds that he couldn’t wait to give to me.

Here they are:

Ten carats, for sure.
