This week we went to the Children's Museum with our friends Christin and Ava. John liked the Habitot room, Japan room (they had a big loud drum!) and the water area. Stephen did a lot of sleeping, but he played around in the Habitot room. Very fun- we are excited to get our money's worth out of our new membership!
John is helping dad build out new entertainment center.
Ryan and I have been trying to figure out the "right" way arrange our furniture. Last week, we realized the house I nanny at has the same floor plan as us and I love their layout! So, we bought their same entertainment center and re-arranged everything. We love it! We have been putting plastic on our windows and starting to hang pictures....home sweet HOME! :D
The above and below picture are of our trip the the Como Zoo. We went with mom's Mom Group.
You can't miss our big rig! haha
Everything was decorated for Zoo Boo. It was very festive- Loved it!
This is a picture of John getting a good night hug on the night before the big test! Ryan was studying away.
We had a little "party" when Ryan got home from his test. Peanut Butter Cookies (Ryan's Favorite) with candles and a song. John couldn't decide what was the best part: Dad was home for lunch, cookies, candles, fire, songs....
Stephen doing tummy time. He HAS to be teething!! The drool is relentless.
The Patrick family at the pumpkin patch!! We went to Afton Apple today. It was the perfect day for it- There was a tiny bit of rain this morning, which I think scared everyone away! There was almost no one there!
And, was it necessary for the boys to be in all the winter gear?? HAHA NO! They were SO hot! HAHA
John picked out his one first pumpkin!!! So cute!
Little does John know that when he was running around, another kid snatched his pumpkin from our wagon. We just found another one like it though- he never noticed. ;D
Please sit and look at mommy!!! PLEASE!
It took almost 20 pictures to get both boys to be kind of paying attention...
Take 20!
Stephen is wearing the sweater Grandma and Papa Lais bought last year in the Aran Islands.
Ryan wanted to document me documenting too much!
John and Ryan wheeling our pumpkins back to the car.
As Ryan says, the best part- APPLE DOUGHNUTS!
After we left the pumpkin patch, we stopped at Nana and Grandpa's house to check in on Nana and bring her a pumpkin. Nana fell while she was skating down in AZ last week. She broke her right wrist and had to have surgery. Poor Nana- we hope you are feeling better soon!!! Enjoy your pumpkin!
One other thing I wanted to mention- John has a love for airplanes. I took John and Stephen to Post Road to watch the airplane traffic. I thought we would last about 10 minutes - nope! We were there for almost 2 hours watching them land and take off. It was very fun to watch his excited eyes as they came and went.
A very busy fun week has been had by all! Thanks for reading! Stay warm as it cools down...especially since I heard the "S" word in the 7-day forecast! AHH
